“Gender” is a term from linguistics that refers to the classification of nouns, pronouns and modifiers according to sex or lack thereof, in other words, masculine, feminine and neuter. Now, it seems to refer to whatever sex one perceives himelf to be.

We need to get back to the original meaning.

It wasn’t long ago that the term “racist” referred to someone who didn’t like members of one or more races or who considered his own race to be superior to others. Nowadays, a “racist” is a good citizen who is well-rounded and maintains a healthy lifestyle. According to wokesters, you are a “racist” if you
