I agree with you. Most aspects of gender are useless and could easily be done away with, this was a focus for LGB people until the current wave of trans people came along and decided that gender roles were cool again. Even the "enbies" who think they're breaking sex-based stereotypes are actually perpetuating them, because there's no such thing as non-binary unless you assume that everyone else fits neatly into the binary (which they don't). But this group is a broad church, there are a lot of people arguing from the "traditional conservative values" perspective who probably balk at the idea of gender abolitionism.

That's exactly what's happening. I'm so glad there are other people who see this though. I came here because I'm sick of the crowds of people I know who mindlessly feed into it out of a personal bias to do so, who don't see the flaws and what's wrong with it. I think there's an order to things though, and the priority #1 (Separating ourselves) should always be the first objective. even though we often discuss things which occur around that subject.
