I don't believe in gender either. But whenever I would write that on /r/gendercritical, someone would always rush over to downvote me. I couldn't figure out if it was actual GC users, or twans uwu lurkers. (I guess I'm hoping someone familiar with /r/gc can hop in and explain. Like, fuck their downvotes, I never changed my opinion or stopped voicing it, but it always confused me that people in a gender critical sub would be critical of someone for not believing in santa claus gender.)

I think it’s best if we stopped using the word gender altogether, it is sex based rights that are at risk here. But also interested in other perspectives:)

I very specifically call out when people use gender instead of sex, especially regarding sex-based rights. I also am very careful to make sure I use the correct term and try to avoid using gender altogether.
