I'm preaching to the choir and beating a dead horse, but the correct word is sex not "gender". Gender refers to words being masculine or feminine; you may remember this if you studied languages once in school.
I was out and about yesterday seeking something interesting to eat; I was in a place full of young people. Some were working, some were customers. They largely looked like a bunch of idiots; fat females, guys with tattoos, other guys with amazingly fucked up hairdos, females with a combination of fat, tats fucked up hair, and stupid outfits.
I thought to myself "But, at least these clowns buy Apple products, so fuck it!"
Gender was a term used to get rid of sex on forms. Too many young men were writing "yes" or "often" etc. They changed the question to Gender to take the fun out of it.
Let the freaks have gender and let them pretend however they want, but keep it away from the kids. We definitely don't need drag queens coming in and discussing the pleasures of butt sex with our elementary students. Reading, writing, and arithmetic, NOT diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Elite Members of GenX, so based. Now more based than the oldest living generation on this issue.
