This is a straw man of my argument. I never stated that biological sex wasn't real, nor that it is a mutable concept. In fact, if you had asked, I would agree with you on this point. And we don't need more words to represent one's biological sex: for that, we already have male and female. "Man" and "woman" are impractical even from a literary sense.

If we agree that biological sex is immutable, and gender is a socially constructed set of sex roles, then why wouldn't you want to remove these by making gender a impractical concept in day-to-day use so we can eventually move passed it in society?
