I'm CIS straight male, so I recognise my ignorance. That said: gender & sex are different. Gender is behaviour, Sex is biological. Behaviour is fluid so so is gender. I don't know if 'they' is how you address the behavioural assumptions created by 'he' & 'she' but it's something.

Femi, you have just walked into a minefield. Whatever you say will be (mis)intepreted.

I know. A best friend told me to delete it out of political self-preservation but I felt it was important to make a balanced case for why our current perception of gender identity/behaviour is inherently prejudicial. Recognising that is an important step towards trans acceptance.

Femi, I am sure that you are trying to be fair. But please be aware that one of the reasons for your “ignorance” is a persistent campaign waged against gender-critical feminists, many of whom, like me, are left-wing lesbian activists, to stop us getting our message across./2
