Do you say that when someone gets upset at being called the wrong name repeatedly? A name is something we made up but getting it wrong repeatedly shows a blatant disregard for the person it represents.
Okay go around purposefully getting everyone’s names wrong and see how many people like it. You have the social awareness of chewed gum on the sidewalk
Same. I can’t understand, why does somebody wants to be called xim/xe or some other shit? For me it sounds just like a whim, but a fact is a fact: There are only two genders. (In this context, and my worldview, sex = gender)
If anyone feels offended, then just scroll past, I don’t and I will not care.
But that’s the whole thing about it…your worldview doesn’t matter. Sex != Gender. You lot are just not intelligent enough to understand the difference and that makes you inherently defensive when it comes to the subject, which is why you react as any animal that perceives itself being attacked and lash out. But no one is attacking YOU by expressing themselves with full nuance. You just don’t have the faculties to understand the difference so you paint with a wide brush.
Sex is often the preferred term when referring to biology (for instance, “in many species, members of the male sex are larger than those of the female sex”), while gender is the preferred word when referring to behavioral, cultural, and psychological traits, admittedly typically associated with sex in most cultures (for instance, “young people more likely to challenge the gender norms they grew up with.”)

We care because everybody deserves respect and to be taken seriously
