The fact remains thatn no theory that would meet the accepted criteria of the scientific method or rigorous philosophic reasoning, and consistent with the current understanding of biology, anthropology, physiology, genetics, psychology or cognitive science, allows for such a notion as "gender". As such, "gender" is a purely arbitrary assertion, in other words, and ideology as opposed to a science, and expecting or even requiring people to abide by it as if it was self-evident is no different from taking it for granted that everyone should adhere to the postulates of Marxism-Leninism, or the alleged superiority of the Aryan race. Reductio ad absurdum: if a man can claim to be a woman and others are forced to take him seriously as such, then by the same token and for precisely the same reason Idi Amin should have been treated with deference when he claimed to be the King of Scotland - and, presumably, should have been handed the throne. Yes, there are people who behave in such ways and make claims about having a purported "gender". Those people suffer from a medical condition known as Gender Identity Disorder - you see, medicine, unlike social justice, is a science. (NB: Yes I know that in the US, and only in the US, some now call it Gender Dysphoria in an attempt to make a political statement).
Or if you want to insist that people talking about "gender" is not the sign that they suffer from some deeper problem, fine, I won't dispute that. But I will only ever see a man playing woman as a strange childish gimmick, like a three years old playing cat.

In your opinion there is no discrimination. In the next moment, you rant a long piece about people feeling differently. In different ways than you.

This is by the person who wrote the code of conduct that Linux adopted.
