generally speaking we are far from equality right now.
Where do you see this lack of equality?
And the scary point is: Moving from a male-dominated to an equal society of course means less power for men.
No it means more power to women, you are acting as if that's a 0 sum game, I for one am struggling to think of any power I have as a man.
Moving from male-dominated to an equal work environement means less great jobs for men (assuming, for the sake of the argument, a fixed amount of available jobs), and so on.
Where is the inequality at work? I work in an IT firm yet my PM (basically my boss as she assigns tasks to me) is a woman, a crap ton of our Java developers are women and my company is far from hugely progressive.
Nevertheless, I also think people with a simple gender identity (straight, gay or bi and experienced gender and physical sex being identical) can't truly understand the struggle of people who who don't feel at ease with their identity or sexual organisation. Thus, I think more than the two physical sexes are needed to describe all variations of human sexual identity.
You are conflating multiple things here, straight, gay or bi are sexual preferences and have nothing to do with a gender. Like me liking dark skinned girls with big butts is not my gender identity but rather what turns me on.
Gender is 100% physical, there are actually 5 real genders:
1)male - XY chromosomes, male external genitalia
2)female - XX chromosomes, female external genitalia
3)pseudo-hermaphrodite male - XY chromosomes, female external genitalia
4)pseudo-hermaphrodite female - XX chromosomes, male external genitalia
5)hermaphrodite - XXY chromosomes, can have both sets of genitalia
Everything else is a job for a mental health professional
Unlike with equality, this won't harm us "simple cases", either, so what's the hassle. It's not like we will run out of disk space by changing a toggle to a dropdown
I will call you anything you want me to call you, I will respect you regardless of your identity, you can think you are a dragon kin it makes no difference to me but don't force it down my throat. That's what the entire case in Canada is about in the first place, the fact that people are trying to force others to call them by some insane pronouns.
