"Let's abolish biological sex", said no activist ever.
Biological sex, with its nuances beyond binary, is science.
Activists are questioning gender. That's the social roles that have been developed on the basis of biological sex.
TWO
DIFFERENT
THINGS
Unless you're looking for something to get upset about, in which case you conflate them into a big straw man you can beat in a debate.
No, not at all. I'm quite happy to let everyone determine what gender is to them, for the same reason I expect others to let me determine what gender is to me. But fundamentally speaking, historically and currently, "gender" is a social construct. The first notions of gender were long before any religion claimed it as theirs and only theirs to define. Over the centuries, gender has taken many forms, been defined in many ways, and served many purposes -- within and without the context of religion and society.

Oh, my bad ... is that not what you meant because it's the same damn thing that's happening now.
The only difference is that you were on board with on redefinition by government and not with this one.

I've said it before. Get Government out of Marriage. Marriage should be up to your religion. Now with that being said, you take the Marriage License and turn that into an Article of Corporation. Two parties agree to merge themselves and their assets into one entity. That covers insurance, medical decisions and other like items. It also ends divorces, instead of divorce, you just dissolve the corporation.

A Feminist, who says that she is a lifelong Democrat warns about the loss of votes if the Democratic Party keep trying to abolish biological sex.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. The Feminazis are getting tired of the assault on women due to the policies of the Democratic Party. She mentions the destruction of the gains from Title IX. Also mentioned are the rapes in prison that have happened when a MAN who claims to "identify" as a woman is placed in with women. She warns that the Democratic Party is going to lose votes over their policies about this.
I wondered how long biological women were going to put up with fake women usurping their title. Seems like the wondering is over, let the menstrual bloodbath, errrr, I mean revolution, begin!
Cry Havoc! And release the dogs of war!

We're already seeing a spike in sexual assaults in high schools and colleges, because men who "self-identify" as women are being allowed into women's restrooms and locker rooms.
Also, biologically-female athletes are getting screwed (no pun intended), because trans-females are being allowed to compete against them. Funny how you're seeing this in every sport where men typically have an advantage over women, but I've never yet seen a trans-woman in something like gymnastics, where women typically outperform men.
...Almost like it's really just a bunch of second-rate males who are calling themselves women in order to get into the athletic equivalent of a lower weight class.
