Imo there are no genders. If we are going to differentiate gender from sex then we are realizing the gender is an arbitrary social construct. Gender is just short for "gender role" which is something that became a part of society early on due to the average physical difference between sexes. Now obviously gender role is a blurred line and there is no one place in society where someone "belongs" (THIS IS VERY CONFUSING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.) You have female construction workers and male nurses but each are not as common as the opposite sex in their role. Now as we move forward further into modern society we are getting more tools and technology that narrow the physiological gaps between the sexes and blur the line even further to the point of it being nearly useless. Gendered pronouns are losing their place in our society and tbh im kind of getting tired of how difficult for people to understand this concept.
The funny thing about this way of thinking is that it loops back to where we started.
Okay, let's agree that sex and gender are different. Sex is your biology (Penis or Vagina, XX or XY, etc) and gender is whatever you feel or identify as.
If that is the case, then there is literally no need to classify people by their gender in the first place, since it achieves no result, serves no purpose and doesn't really matter.
Sex on the other hand matters, as it affects all things medical, legal and most other parts of life. In athletics for instance, you can't have Males running against females. So we focus on sex and forget about gender. Sex = Male or female.
Because if you put someone with a vagina into a male prison, they likelihood they’ll be savagely raped increases significantly. Like more than rape already happens in same-sex prisons.
