> Since gender is a social construct
The real issue is that there was never a discussion or vote on this proposition. People have the right to be offended when their language is pulled out from under them without their consent. It doesn't make people bigoted to insist that the meaning of words matter. The whole thing comes across as very Orwellian to many.
"Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories."
