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.

Is "kill yourself immediately" too dark? Probably. But if like three billion people died suddenly and without a massive environmental impact like nukes or some other poisoning of the world, could solve a bunch of problems.

Some would say Love is always the answer for everything. I think that would be a higher state for many. At the very least kindness.
