"but many other people think it’s helpful [to distinguish between sex and gender]"

I think that this distinction has been forced on everyone. And it has everyone confused. And it has resulted in the introduction of all kinds of new terms. And now young people all _think_ that they have to pick a gender. They don't. The only people who have to are those who have a compulsion. They should own up to that, and not force our entire culture to adapt.

Persecution of trans people is one thing. It needs to stop. But the trans community is trying - and succeeding - to alter our culture to make _everyone_ think about sex and gender as distinct. It is creating all kinds of issues - bathrooms are but one.

There is no such thing as gender apart from one's sex. What is in one's head is not a gender: it is THEM. It does not need a label or category.

Labeling and categorizing how people think and feel is a hugely regressive step backwards: according to the gender theory, if I think like a woman then my "gender" must be female. No: it just means that I think like a woman - whatever that means. I thought we were past defining how men and women were supposed to think.

There is no gender on what is in my head - or anyone else's. It is not just non-binary - it is multidimensional. People have always known that until recently, and now they are all confused.
