Marriage? Abolishing it would at the very least mean that there is no longer any legal and fiscal recognition of it. But, it seems that the legal institution, at the very least, of marriage ought to include more types of marriages between all sorts of adults, especially disabled individuals who could lose their benefits, and perhaps polyamorous relationships.
i find it amusing that the person who thinks one can be a non-binary lesbian (or indeed non-binary) believes abolishing gender is a problem. take a look in the mirror, your rhetoric may be different, but the result is the same
Abolishing gender, as a phrase, is lacking nuance. I suppose my goals involve abolishing aspects of gender, gender as a hierarchy, such as patriarchy, enforcing the binary, and gender roles, but gender as identity, expression, and social performance can stay around.
I never said it's a problem though, I said it's a thing that's just said without any plans. It just feels like empty theory. I'm sure some post-genderist could enlighten us
