"Gender" is the postmodern, post-Freudian soul (just relocated from the heart to the crotch). Gender Theory states we all are born with a sacred unique "gender" that fluctuates constantly based on mood and feelings and yet is also immutable and the most distinct part of you, your sacred singular essence aka "Your True Self" (TM).

"Gender" really is "Have you heard the good news!?!" but for upscale secular liberals, it is the sacred essence of every human that needs to be protected and propagated by every person and institution at all times, in all settings.

This is also why the Gender people think it's appropriate and necessary to never stop talking about it, and why it only makes sense to them that children need to learn they have a "gender" and how to cultivate it as soon as they're old enough to talk. We wouldn't want a child not to spend their formative years contemplating their "gender," it could lead to the great tragedy of them never becoming Their True Self (TM) or even more terrible to contemplate, they may someday mention it to someone who responds in a less than reverential way. That would be blasphemy!

It is interesting too how Gender Theory coalesces so easily with our market society, because so much of it is based on superficial markers like clothes, earrings, makeup, Prozac, etc (not to mention pharmaceutical and surgical interventions), which the corporate state is more than happy to sell you.

Also, the Gender craze is such a quintessentially American phenomenon because it supports and is rooted in one of our absolute foundational beliefs (which really should be printed on our money and inscribed on the Statue of Liberty): REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, ILLUSION IS A REALITY.
