     @klausi @evan Yeah, that came out of nowhere and is bullshit:
     "The biological difference between the sexes, which had been a foundational assumption of medicine as well as of the feminist movement, was almost instantaneously replaced not only by the idea that there are numerous genders but that reference in medicine, law or popular culture to the existence of a gender binary is actually bigoted and abusive. "

     A "foundational assumption" of the feminist movement? WTF? The rest is BS, too.

     @evan I stopped reading when they start shitting on nonbinary people.

     Makes it even more bitter in an article titled "everything is broken"

     @evan @klausi Unfortunate as I think they were making a good point (? I didn't read the whole thing).

     @maj @klausi I think so, too. The central thesis is that institution have eroded since the 1970s because of neoliberalism.
