Assume much?

Disliking the meaning of a word does not make the the word meaningless.

Not knowing the definition of of word only makes it meaningless to you.

Seems it is you who have a problem understanding the meaning of certain words.
Most every one else do not appear to suffer from that same problem.
Have you been paying attention to what's been going on here? Because everything you've accused me of is what the other guy believes.
Before entering a conversation someone else and I were having, you might wanna go back and learn about the positions he and I have before responding.

Since male and female are typically distinguished by their genitals* do we need to know this?
Male and female are distinguished by a lot more than just their genitals. But even though, there are many occasions when we do need to know this
Like, should people be forced to socially advertise their genital structures?
No, but we need to be truthful and quit pretending there are no physical differences.

Well, what other reasons? So you will know their pronouns? So you know what is socially acceptable as to how to talk to them or otherwise treat them? How to market to them? To know whether to be flattered or offended if you flirt with each other?
Those are reasons as well.

They are. But it's the genitals people obsess over. When do you think we need to know this?

No, but we need to be truthful and quit pretending there are no physical differences.

Are people saying we should, at least in any practical way?

You and I must live on totally different planets. And I work at a university, where respect and valuing of diversity is literally baked into the culture here.
How is what you just said, different than what I said?
Hate and bigotry and prejudice and bullying are absolutely still a thing alongside all of that.
Of course there will always be bigots and haters, but they are the exception; not the rule.

In the USA we have female spaces for females where males do not belong. Title 9 has determined there should be separate sports for women to compete against each other; not men. This has nothing to do with genitals, it has more to do with bone density, lung capacity, heart size, and other physical differences that put men at an advantage over women in a way that can’t be fixed by giving women a bunch of dangerous steroid injections. We also have different public shower and locker room facilities for men and women, this has more to do with genitals than anything else. So even though it isn’t all about genitals, it is a part of it.

But that is not all there is to non-binary or gender. It is a part of it, the sports, but not all.

But your thoughts should not play a role in determining your gender

That is what you think. The problem is that you think your way of thinking is not actually thinking is some sense, but all other ways of doing it, is wrong, because it is in part thinking. That is your trick. You disregard when you think and point out other are not allowed to do so, based on your thinking.

Absolutely ridicules. You obviously have no clue of how I think
