‘Gender forms the basis of sex. We are not born with gender already within us. We have penises, vaginas, breasts, beards, chromosomes, etc, but these things are not sex on their own. They are features of our biology, but we group them into sexes. When we call penises boy parts we are creating and imposing gender upon the body.’

While valid points were made and it was generally interesting to learn about how ‘sex serves to reinforce gender’, the history of our gender system, and why it is necessary to criticize gender as a social construct, the solution that the manifesto suggest may be a bit too radical.
