Anyways, regarding your "post-genderist" ideals earlier you mentioned, its certainly an interesting idea that I've heard before that has scientific evidence both working in favour for and against it. Sexual dimorphism exists in the brain, a well-established scientific consensus. Similarly, sexual dimorphism has a strong relationship with gender idenity.
Yeah I consider post-genderism to be more of an ideal than a realistic thing to strive for. Sexual dimorphism is indeed a thing (a tendency, not a rule) but someone's assigned sex shouldn't dictate how someone lives their life. At least, not on a societal level.

It's a pretty crazy idea because gender as a binary has been an integral part of human culture for as long as we can remember, and trying to move beyond that is a fairly radical concept to say the least.

Also your subsequent response about people not believing that bisexuality exists... ugh, don't remind me. It's weird how many people that are fine with gay people have trouble wrapping their heads around bisexuals. And then there's the dismissal of pansexuals, don't even get me started.
