You also lose the ability to understand the world. By removing typing ( I guess its called that?), you turn black and white into gray. You remove differences that are there, and you make the language less specific.
If someone asks you if your baby is a female or a male, you are feeling content saying its a human?
Or if someone asks you if their colleagues will be mostly male or female if they go into nursing, you will say it doesnt matter?
I think some people would like that actually. In Sweden where I live, a new gender neutral word called “hen” has been introduced as “human of unspecified gender”, and its encouraged to use that instead of saying him or her, to avoid “bias”. Which is what the previous poster talked about.
