the only actually bad part of grammatical gender is the fact that we call it that. its just a noun class system but for various reasons (im not 100% sure about the details) english calls it gender.

but with what we now know about world languages, it doesnt make a lot of sense to categorize this as a special type of noun class system. some languages have a masculine-feminine distinction, some have masculine-feminine-neuter, some have animate-inanimate, some have common-neuter, some have 20 classes and some have none.

and i want to stress here that even in languages with masculine and feminine classes they dont always exactly correspond with a traditional male-female dichotemy. for example in german ‘Mädchen’ (girl) is neuter, in french ‘la masculinité’ (masculinity) is feminine, and in hebrew ‘שד’ (breast) is masculine.

it just makes for a little more confusion regarding gender perception and im sick of it

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.

[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
