Avast ye, me mateys! Speaketh of the booty, not of the fancy names! Sail away from the Leftist lingo, ye conservatives!

Arrr, mateys! Many a landlubber be flabbergasted by the scurvy attack on women's havens, yet they feel like a kraken be stranglin' their efforts. Fear not, for we be armed with a plan! 'Tis where our voyage begins, me hearties.
In a humorous tone reminiscent of a 17th-century pirate, the author discusses the increasing presence of males who identify as women in women's spaces such as sororities, sports, rape crisis centers, and prisons. Ordinary Americans are shocked by this assault on women's spaces but often feel powerless to do anything about it. However, the author argues that there is something we can do, and it starts by eliminating the word "gender" from our vocabulary.The author clarifies that "sex" and "gender" are not synonyms. While a "gender reveal party" may be popular nowadays, it is actually the unborn baby's sex that is being revealed, not their gender. Sex refers to the biological categories of male and female, while gender refers to cultural norms regarding appearance and lifestyle.
The author asserts that sex is an immutable trait determined by biology and cannot be changed by altering one's appearance or taking hormones. On the other hand, gender is borrowed from grammar and originally referred to cultural norms. However, our culture has adopted the word "gender" as a shorthand for the categories of male and female, leading to misunderstandings and the belief that sex is culturally determined.
This incorrect use of "gender" has allowed regressive sex stereotypes to resurface. The author criticizes the notion that a girl who enjoys playing with boys and sports is actually a boy and vice versa. Gender ideology limits freedom and erodes civil rights protections.
To counter this, the author suggests defining sex in law consistently with biology and resisting the urge to use the word "gender" in daily conversation. The author concludes by humorously suggesting that instead of attending a "gender reveal" party, we should ask for a baby's sex to be revealed.
