Do we really need Gender?

[Dauphin]

Sounds like semantics to me. There is gender (sense of self / how you 'identify') and sex (the physical / objective anatomy). The dysphoria is that the two don't align.

A semantic problem is that pronouns and nouns for gender concepts are seen as the same as for sex, when they are not. Leading to 'she's a man', and 'a woman can't have a penis'. If they had different lexicons that were understood, things may be easier. Leading back to culture and language comments above.
