Callings the sexes “genders” is a part of losing the issue. Genders can be anything including neuter.

The real Fowler's Modern English Usage calls such use ether a jocularism or a blunder.

Yes "genders" refer to language characteristics. People have sexes; and there is absolutely nothing more important to the vast majority of normal people than sex roles & sexuality. It is sex roles & sexuality that provide the ongoing continuum of Creation--something more than a tad more important than Hillary Clinton or some other overreaching crack-pot!

For an approach to reality that concedes nothing to lunacy: Feminist Absurdity.

As for people confused, either biologically or mentally, one can have compassion for their confusion without denying the most obvious reality, in order to humor the fantasies of theorists.
