But I'd also rather we just do away with the concept of gender. Sex is a thing, and is also non-binary. But "concept of gender" is something strange altogether.

It's a pretty safe bet that if you don't identify as simply male or female, advertisers aren't going to bother caring about how to advertise to you.
