I disagree that it's okay to not know that. It's like not knowing that some black people don't like fried chicken.
This is 2024. I don't think there is any excuse at this point to not understand the difference between sex and gender.
I mean, dude… fundies exist and we can’t deprogram their biases when they’re willing to learn unless we explain it to them. They’ve never been challenged to consider this point of view.
If you just shit on them like they should have always known, they’ll just dig in harder in opposition.
And yeah, sometimes it’s concern trolling but take the bait and let them reel before calling it a hook and then spitting, or they’ll just keep the worm for someone else. And, if they’re genuinely curious, you might make a real difference.
Oh there’s plenty of excuses…
Denial is a common one.
Fair play though, gender theory is just a theory.
There aren’t hard and fast rules when it comes to sex and gender.
And people should understand that by now. And if they don't, I see no reason to be sensitive to their feelings on the matter any more than I would any other sort of implicit bigotry.
