It is funny, GC feminism want to abolish gender as a concept and usage of this word, and usage of femininity and masculinity, while some other radical feminists are basing their position on existing gender stereotypes and gender expectations, which are separate from sex, for some reason, and at same time saying that all oppression is because biological sex. I think English language is just confuses people. In our language there are no words for gender, however there are words for "sex stereotype" and it means stereotypes based on your biological sex, like "women must be like that and do that because they are women". While "gender stereotype" means "women must be like that and do that because they are playing role of a woman", which makes no sense. If use "gender stereotype" as synonym to "sex stereotype", then everything will make sense. While gender-queer theory is making sure that nothing makes sense.

Yeah, I do not understand that. To be honest, I thought they were the same groups but then I looked more into it, and it just got more and more confusing.

I do too, and it's my native language. Although, I might be getting confused with the rest of this bit. Are you also English speaking or different language?

Yeah, for my family's language (Spanish), they created this term "Latinx" to mean "gender neutral." Let me tell you... Latino conservatives, or even just Latinos not into these ideologies, do NOT like that. It makes no sense! Latino is masculine, but it can also be used as unisex. So why? Who knows.

No, and I studied English later in life.

Thank you. For some reason in USSR teachers were better teaching foreign languages than our own.

No problem! And wow, didn't know that.
