How did we progress from "two genders" to "unlimited genders" to "no genders"?!

bryanrasmussen 6y ago
The two genders people backlashed against the unlimited genders and there was then a war between them - the unlimited genders want references to the two genders to be removed as they seem to promote the viewpoint that two genders exist and not unlimited. Companies and powerful organizations are wary of the unlimited genders people as there is a worry that they may control enough economic power to make things unpleasant, therefore any organization that is not strongly on the two genders team chooses no genders as the compromise in the war.

  If somebody wants to be a girl or a boy, or some creator wants to call their creation a boy or a girl - what's wrong with either? Again, we're spending a tremendous amount of energy and attention on things that future generations will laugh at. This is no similar than the billions of people who can't learn to wear a face mask properly. We're the laughing stock of the future. Should I refer to my boy or girl to they to be PC-compliant, too? How shameful is to associate your children with specific genders, right? As typical flawed humans, we're blowing everything out of proportion, we keep pressing and pressing, until matters burst into uncontrollable chaos!

    The solution is to not comment on such issues and downvote and potentially flag (when appropriate) people that spend all their time writing about that instead of things that actually matter.

"Unlimited genders" was used to push the overton window so far that transgender sounded like a reasonable middleground by comparison.

Since genders are classifications if everyone has a different gender it isn't a useful classification. So "too restrictive" -> "not very useful" -> "stop using"
