But to your question....
I could give you the TAOist version: "Don’t confuse the linguistic meta-levels. Deny false dichotomies (binary fascism, dualistic absolutism) by uniting all opposites."
Or, the Omar Khayyam versions: "Peace is the reconciliation of opposites.
Or, I could just say: Gender is something we construct because we are lost to ourselves.
