View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

View parent comment

I'm starting to think that "gender" is just a useless term. No one knows what you mean by it unless you take a paragraph to explain, everyone has a different definition. Most people just use it to mean sex.

Exactly, gender is useless and doesn’t make any sense. Like you said, people use gender when they mean sex.

I think it has a lot to do with language as well. In my native language we don’t have any equivalent term to female/male, we just use woman/man in every context. Is that better? I don’t know.
