The whole "gender binary is colonialism" thing never fails to make me laugh. It's like they just string together buzz words and call it a coherent argument.

It's all know-it-all teenagers who've been told by dishonest pseudo-intellectuals that the world was some kind of magical gender wonderland before "colonialism."

Cultures that ended up with third gender categories tended to be cultures obsessed with categories where gendered behavior was rigidly enforced. The additional gender categories were invented because you had to put gender non-conforming individuals (usually men) somewhere.

Oh, this post-colonial deconstruction garbage is all part of the general cultural marxist curriculum...

This person shows exactly how someone can get so smart and educated in "Theory" to the point that they become divorced from reality. Everything becomes "constructed" in their view—even things that are plainly real.

This individual might be too far gone to stop and think about what their notion of sex as a "western concept" implies. Everything must serve the theory. Like, did humans exit the cave not knowing what a woman is, or how to fuck and reproduce? (How are we even here!? How does that person think they were conceived!?)

It all comes back to critical theory, which does not need to follow the rules of logic or a coherent argument. It doesn't matter that it's falsifiable—it's all about the narrative. In my most simplified understanding, a normal theory explains reality as it is, while a critical theory argues for how it ought to be: in other words, a Utopia. Hence, cultural marxism.
