Just like black has become black, brown, beige, you'll have more categories: male, female, intersex (# of birth sex assignments will go down), and of course the various transsexuals, helped by ever-improving body technologies (better hormones, maybe functioning penises, ovaries)
So technology, diversity activists expanding the number of categories and purity activists preserving categories will produce a larger landscapes of sex and genders, which will have better definitions than nowadays (with permanent controversy at the fringes as in racial matters)

As to competition and bickering among categories for underdog/victimhood status, it's hard for me to think about how harsh it will be. If we're talking beyond 10-20 years from now it seems pointless. Better to observe antiracist activism, e.g. current antisemitism controversies

What looks more clear is that denying the accepted beliefs on the subject will be akin to contemporary racism. For instance, saying that there are only two sexes (or three with intersex people), or only 5 sexes with trans people, instead of 7, 9, 12, ... will be bad.

Equally bad will be to relate some sexes/genders to some (but not all) characteristics : it will be really bad to say "X and Y genders don't have the same private parts at birth" because implies something negative, just like saying X and Y ethnicities naturally smell differently

(n.b.: because it implies something negative *in the collective mind*) However certain characteristics will be celebrated. Vagina-associated genders will likely be associated with positive traits linked to born-with-vagina-people.

At the same time there will also be celebration of traits linked to biology, while mentions of that link will be forbidden. Probably not a good example but to get started, it could be coded praise of trans women' athleticism or square jaws, which would be denounced by activists
