There are two sexes.

There are also intersex people. The point is that there aren't only two sexes.

Gender is a completely unnecessary social construct

Doesn't it allow you to isolate, study and discuss the individual aspects of sex in society and culture?

and all it accomplishes is sexism.

Doesn't it allow you to study that sexism, and also to talk about people who don't fit into one of your sexes either physcally or how they present in society?

Your sex shouldn't matter to anyone else outside of sexual relationships. Which, unfortunately, are based on observable sexual characteristics and not gender identity. So gender identity does nothing but put people in boxes. If we're not going to be sexist we don't need to distinguish sexes or genders outside of medical contexts, much less study them like they're the core of our being. This is why TERFs are afraid of the trans movement. Everyone on both sides of the isle wants to go back to 1950s gender roles, and co-opting trans people was just a tactic to make the left look like the good guys while doing it.

Your sex shouldn't matter to anyone else outside of sexual relationships.

Shouldn't it also matter to sociologists and policy makers?

If we're not going to be sexist we don't need to distinguish sexes or genders outside of medical contexts, much less study them like they're the core of our being.

About 89.5% of murderers are male. So if you're going to spend taxpayers money on ameliorating murder, you're wasting that money if you don't target your programs based on sex.

What?

Oh I see how it is. You don't dare discriminate against women or black people, but discriminating against white men is perfectly valid. Is that right?

When it comes to the 13% comitting 50% of violent crimes you'll investigate the circumstances which make it harder for them to avoid. But when it's men you say don't help them, don't care about them, be prejudiced against them, no differently than what racists think of blacks! Or imagine if it were the other way around, I guarantee that you guys would be slamming this as misogyny.

Just admit that the libs are every bit as sexist and racist as the cons. And in fact the only reason cons have been for the past 3 years is because they feel the need to push back against extreme leftist discrimination.

So if we aren't going to be sexist or racist, no it shouldn't matter at all to policy makers. But it seems 99% of the human race is incapable of even entertaining the thought, so everyone is just going to attack me.

Spending tax dollars effectively is perfectly valid.

Conversely, wasting tax dollars is not.

When it comes to the 13% comitting 50% of violent crimes you'll investigate the circumstances which make it harder for them to avoid.

What?
