My irritation with "gender" conversations is people insist on talking about different things while treating them like the same thing and it leads some people in unfortunately TERFy directions ("women are defined by oppression and you don't get to participate") and for others it's just a complete waste of time.

"Everything about gender is fake and made-up" also leads fairly inevitably to banning transition because you can just change how you feel about yourself or society's attitudes about gender, right? It's all in your head!

You might as well try to "solve" racism with "color blindness."
