Ethentialitht underthtandingth

Oh really?

That first bullet point is just so much blather, unless what they are sneakily doing is pretending that the rules and expectations around gender are the same thing as the categories female and male. I think that probably is what they’re doing, and it’s both pompous and deceptive. Of course “understandings of sex” have always been binary, which is not to deny that views on how women and men have to behave are contingent and various.

Yes of course the rules around gender are “open to political manipulation”; we know that; it does not follow that men can be women.
