Will Sweden abolish the concept of gender?

It isn't possible to abolish the concept of gender, because it isn't merely a concept.

I think this is pretty crazy, and I think most others swedes do as well.

I'd be totally cool with someone wanting to be referred to in a genderless way - no skin off of my nose, but "hen" is a shitty word - like something out of a bad science fiction novel, where the neologisms don't "flow" with the language.

What mainly troubles me is that this is used in some kindergartens, where I worry that it may be imposed upon children to not call themselves a girl or a boy even if they'd want to. -It's said that is not the case, but I wouldn't want my daughter in one of those schools - it feels too ideological.

It's good if they pay some attention to treating boys and girls equally, but I don't want to touch this kind of gender-theory driven stuff with a ten-foot pole.

Removing identity in the guise of equality will only ensure those with identity are inequal.

But. but.... if they get rid of gender then how are they going to bash men with their misandry. /s

When it benefits women, it will happen.
