THEM: gender critical
ME: I agree, modern perceptions of gender and their stereotypical roles are outdated, and something to be intensely critical of. The entire concept of gender as it currently exists in the mainstream, particularly as a simplistic and fixed binary which correlates with a comparably simplistic view of sexual dimorphism, should probably be heavily revised, if not completely abolished
THEM: no not like that
THEM: sex not gender
ME: You're right, there are a lot of people with chromosomal combinations who don't get enough representation, and people with X, XXY, XXYY, and XXXY combinations among others, deserve proper acknowledgement in both education and popular culture. Not to mention people with XX and XY chromosome combinations which don't match their physical primary and secondary sexual characteristics
THEM: no not like that
The language that TERFs come up with is intensely disappointing because it could potentially hold such interesting meanings if it wasn't just used as a flimsy argument for bigots to uphold rigid, outdated ideas of what gender is
