And _because_ we care about the beautiful moral ideal, we tend to assume that psychological group differences don't exist or are superficial or are socially-constructed and will naturally dissipate after the revolution.
-invidious distinction
-
(... the scintillating but ultimately untrue thought.)
But this is _so crazy_ on _multiple levels_. Philosophers since the days of D. Hume have recognized the distinction between _is_ and _ought_:
_I want to make the stupid dream real._ But to _get_ to the good world—whatever you think that is—
... you're going to have to bootstrap from _today's_, unremediated, genderspace. Which requires _understanding_ it first.

+OUTLINE OF POINTS TO HIT—
+
+ * beautiful moral idea of equality
+ * —makes people believe that group differences are superficial/fake/social
+ * but this is crazy because:
+ * is does not imply ought
+ * social vs. biological isn't even the axis you care about
+ * but, we also assume things are biological/fixed when that's convenient for
+ "minority" things we want to protect (sexual orientation, gender identity)
+ * requiring crazy beliefs in order to be a good person is a drain, a drag, and
+ a tax on sanity
+ * _be specific_ about what's gerrymandered and wrong about "sex diffs
+ real/gender identity not"
+
+OTHER TODO—
+
+ * coach points out that "after the revolution" could use rewording
