    In lefty circles such as most of Lemmy, “gender” refers to the social norms and expectations that are attached to sex.

    Personally, I think choosing the word “gender” to describe gender roles was a mistake. A call to abolish gender norms seems pretty reasonable, but if you’re uninformed about this definition the call to abolish gender sounds utterly deranged.
