    No, it’s not about squashing the identities themselves, it’s about squashing the gendered expectations.

    This is basically the same. If you remove the gendered expectations you remove the identity. Gender is the expectations.

    That’s what makes it so resilient, not willing to renounce deeply held identity, people keep enforcing the expectations.

      I understand you’re saying this because of the status quo, but it is egregiously foolish to state the status quo as a simple fact. It makes it appear as if you fully support the status quo.

      Not just in direct discussions like this, but even bystanders get it. It’s why the news picks their words very carefully, usually to slant the truth to their corporate agenda.
