i like the idea of destroying gender, as some nonbinary folks tend to, but there needs to be a word further than that. one more word. destroy gender as we know it? destroy the rigid gender-archy? destroy rigid gender norms?

because we gotta be better than that, because there's a lot of people who LIKE gender, but nobody likes being bound by gender's rules

gender 

me, personally? my perspective on gender is that it's a social construct, something made up, but people can still take pieces from and enjoy it without being part of "gender" as we know it

i myself take pieces from it all the time because i have no frame of reference of knowing what modern society would be like with a neutral/third gender

...actually, maybe then, we should begin saying we'd like to destroy the idea of sex, instead? gender essentialism, is that what it's called?
