I stopped reading at #4

  1. Try to start removing binary language from your everyday conversations. If we all make conscious efforts to steer away from gendering everything, this will have a knock-on effect that stops our learnt obsession of having to divide everything into binaries.

That's such an unreasonable demand.

I'm not even sure what that means. English isn't a particularly gendered language. Do they mean to stop referring to people as male and female? I'm noticing a new trend towards telling people to refer to people as 'they' unless they 'gender' themselves. They're asking people to 'misgender' 99.9% of the population in order to virtue signal an ideology, and also we're told that 'misgendering' is literal violence. Make it makes sense.
