Not just bizarre, but actively backwards.
There's a decent amount of conflict between people advocating "no one is gendered" postgenderism and transgender people going "I'm suffering for my gender identity, get out of here with that nonsense". I'm a bit baffled by the claim that "I am gender A, not gender B" is somehow a call for "abolition of gender".
