Does Gender exist?
1/ The word #gender is an artifact of the English language: it first was introduced by hijacking the term for grammatical gender (from Latin: genus) for ideological purposes. It then morphed into a synonym for biological sex, ...
2/ ...probably out of prudishness because sex also refers to the sex act. The gender concept therefore doesn't exist in other languages. To the degree the idea gets pushed there, it's entirely an import from the English world, often using the English word "gender".
3/ It must be kept in mind that the word sex (as in biological sex) has never played any big role in real life. It is only used by biologists and bureaucrats to categorize things according to objective criteria. Normally, our intuition is plenty enough.
4/ What gender ideology has done is forcing us to make "sex" explicit when we didn't need to, then sneak in a new word that hovers in a confused state between synonym and new definition (gender), and use that confusion to force the new definition back on the word "sex".
5/ As a consequence, we are BOTH forced to make explicit what should be intuitive and therefore lose the intuitive understanding, AND we lose the explicit definition used by scientists and bureaucrats which is limited, but useful. #GenderCritical
