Years ago, before I started spending way too much time here, my ex and I made a concious choice not to use gendered pronouns whenever possible.
There were plenty of times when people went 'Hunh'?
Or we sounded crazy, diving all over ourselves to communicate without using 'she' and 'he' and 'her' and 'him' but
Our conciousness about how we used gendered pronopuns changed me and the way I thought.
I think we used to talk more about biology, gender and sexual orientation here.
The expression 'false duality of gender constructs' means that it is false to talk only about two gender constructs, and imbedded in that belief is the idea that gender is a social construct, as distinct from biology.
