Probably not. Sex has a material basis, gender identity an ideological one. The former has much more staying power than the latter, which is likely to be seen as an unusual fad belief in the decades and centuries to come.

- yieldcrv 4y agoI think there are some concurrent realizations that will move it outside of purely ideological territory and be more impervious to being relegated as an unusual fad belief. In the Americas and the Pacific islands, many cultures had non-binary gendering systems, and in the European colonization and cultural genocide this was one of many things that were erased as it was incompatible. So reconciliation and representation of indigenous cultures simply includes non-binary gendering, and it is not separable from this effort and direction. This coincides with western non-binary recognition, the thing thats having a lot of resistance and lack of consensus. I can see it being very likely that these efforts coincide and amplify the willingness to recognize a non-binary gendering system that is distinctive from sex, and not synonymous with sex.
