Gender isn’t real anyway so 🤷🏻‍♀️
- Gender is real, it's just a human construct. But that doesn't make it any less real than, say, Italian is real despite it being a human construct.
  
  Italian's a dressing, dude. I have some in my fridge.
  
  Salad dressing is also a human construct.
  
  In nature salad just prances around naked!
  
  I've never seen salad prance before. Is this a shroom thing, or am I just not looking in the right spot?
  
  Just need the right amount of wind!
  
  Itslian is a sausage and I enjoy it on pizza.
  
  I firmly believe that ohio is just a hole
  
  But like pre-nation of Italy Italian it can have fairly different interpretations based on regionality
  
  Absolutely, but that does not make it less real to the particular society a person might be in.
  
  The idea of gender is just stupid and has to go, regardless if people consider it real or not, it’s a social construct that must go
  
  Well that's what Trump is trying to do so.
  I guess you and the fascist are getting your wish.
  Seriously though, gender is older than Homo sapiens. It's about division of reproductive labor and the classes that humans form around that
  The gender binary needs to go. Gender inequality needs to go. But people are going to have gender as long as we have class distinctions and we are a long way from outgrowing that.
  
  oof
