"'To be culturally literate means knowing how to speak the new language of gender,' says consulting firm sparks & honey in a new report. But within its marketing recommendations lies a thought bomb of radicalism that could truly change society."

"Freedom from gender entirely".
Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
Gender is important (or why would we transition). It is ever present in so much of human interaction.
We might as well get rid of "height" as well and start seeing everyone as exactly the same size. Think how much money we'll save on clothing if everyone were the same height. I don't see why humanity insists upon clinging to this archaic notion that some people have to be taller than everyone. Let's just be free from height entirely.
