  • Mostly agree especially about the “you can’t compare gender and sex” part which people get wrong regularly and also in quite basic ways. Like “gender medicine” is a valid term in German somehow.

    Gender can vanish if people stop recognising it[…]

    I highly doubt that though. Since the concept of gender or at least some parts associated with it is based on facts resulting from biological differences there will be different expectations on what a person is like based on their sex. Because:

    • Men are stronger than women - on average - because of testosterone
    • Women live longer than men - on average
    • Woman have a better immune system than men - on average - because the gene(s) impacting that are on the X-chromosome
    • Women are capable of bearing offspring - with all the implications
    • Testosterone has an impact on someones behaviour

    The world is a complex place an we need to simplify things. We do that with other groups too - what doesn’t mean, there are people who (try to) dont’t do that.

    I think we should be open to each other and adjust our expectations about each other if necessary and maybe be a bit cool about stuff.
