Hear me out first.
'Gender critical' theory. Everyone should have this theory, as originally defined, planted in their head. Men would only associate 'masculinity' with their role in providing semen for procreation. Women would only associate 'femininity' with their role in providing eggs for procreation.
There would be no gender-non-conformity because there would be no ideas about gender to conform to. A minority of men would, as an everyday thing, wear dresses. It would be impossible to verify that someone was a woman or not (short of x-raying their uterus).
The important thing, is that if this happened, the people currently claiming that they're 'gender critical' would lose their freaking minds.
This.... sounds very distopian.
Humans on earth would provide their recreational organs to a common cause.
There would be no physical sex (if I am right about what you wrote).
Freaky
Ha, no, I didn't mean it like that. The 'role of providing semen' and the 'role of providing eggs' would be during normal intercourse.
It's wild how threatening people find this idea. I really can't get understand why it is so hard to just imagine seeing each person as an individual. No one is walking around dividing the world a priori into "hockey fans or not" and thinking our society would collapse of if you couldn't do that all of a sudden.
