CMV: Genders don't matter and we shouldn't be arguing about it

I'd like to add a caveat here that for people that are fighting to be recognized and accepted in a society that traditionally has had 2 genders, incorrectly and purposefully mis-gendering someone is hurtful and harmful. 

Having said that, there is no real reason to gender people other than the fact humans like to categorize. Genders and sex for that matter is an entirely made up system used to define people and there does not seem to be any justification for it. 

Medically it does not matter if you are a man or a woman, what matters is what your chromosome makeup is, what your family health history is and what your sexual organs are to name a few. Male and female are just words to loosely describe people with either penises or vaginas because they clearly require different forms of care, but there are many other factors that depend on the individual and not their sex or gender. 


The group that is steadfast that there must only be 2 genders  I think are wasting energy on something that really should not matter at all and it is a waste of time arguing about it, just like it is a waste of time arguing about which religion holds true. There are many different interpretations and no need for a defined definition. 

However, it is possible there are instances where explicitly defining a gender is necessary, but I have yet to come across one that actually holds true and is not rooted in a bigoted agenda. If someone can present an instance of this I am open to having my mind changed. 

Personally, the least interesting thing about me is my gender and sexual orientation. Fighting so hard to be defined by them feels like a gigantic waste of energy.

I agree with everything you've said except this point. It does medically matter what your biological makeup and sex is. Gender and sex are two different things. Genetic males and females have different organs, and therefore need different operations done to them. A trans female still needs a prostate exam, and a trans male may still need to visit an OBGYN despite not identifying with their traditional gender.
