See ignorant. We all think gender is complete bollocks especially the old school feminist amongst us because dismantling gender roles is what we have done for DECADES Sex is biology gender is what you identify as. You lot came up with this bullshit.

The definition, as most people understand it, of "sex vs. gender" is that "sex" merely describes a physical biological phenomenon, whereas "gender" is all of the socially constructed expectations derived from that physical phenomenon

Which, fine, sure Except people then always move the goalposts and say "Not ALL those socially constructed expectations are BAD" And then when they say "abolish gender" they mean "only abolish the socially constructed expectations I am opposed to that I think are wrong"

They think some of those expectations are logical and good and right, and therefore exclude them from being called "gender" (even though BY DEFINITION anything to do with how people treat other people is socially constructed and falls under "gender")

The very concept of dividing the population into two separate groups that needs to have two different sets of restrooms and changing rooms to serve them IS GENDER The concept of having two different sports leagues at all IS GENDER

I mean, yeah, and *ultimately* so is every single other aspect of gender This is why I say that the "TE" in "TERF" wasn't inevitable, the bare statement "Sexism being the way it is is rooted in how babies are made" is clearly true, I just don't draw the same conclusions from it

This is the whole thing -- "The world sucks for women because women are the 'weaker sex'" is this basic concept that infuses everyone's thinking about sex and gender You don't have to be a TERF to have that as part of your worldview

You don't even have to be a feminist at all to have that as part of your worldview -- the traditional conservative ideologies feminism was conceived of as a rebellion against also all accept this statement The Catholic view on sex isn't that different from TERFism

You could just as easily say "Men opening doors for women and always standing closer to the sidewalk and paying for dinner whenever they go out, because the world is objectively worse for women, is merely a recognition of biological sex"

You could just as easily say "Men being the primary breadwinner of the household and because women are the ones who gestate and birth an infant, and the ones who breastfeed, and the ones who hormonally bond with the child, is a recognition of biological sex"

"Men being encouraged to join the military and work in demanding manual labor jobs, and women being kept away from such things as unladylike, is a recognition of biological sex" Etc, etc, etc Every single one of these things gets defended this way by people who agree with them

Every single aspect of gender has some sort of connection to "biological sex" if you go back far enough in the minds of the people who defend it The whole basis of "feminism" is supposed to be wanting to *fight back* against that, to *change* it
