Jesus Christ dude language grows and evolves all the time. The term gender doesn't mean the same thing it did 5 years ago which didn't mean the same thing it meant 5 years before that which didn't mean the same thing it meant 50 years before that. Language is always growing and changing, adapting with the times. Newspeak was a term invented by some writer for his fictional book, it has no actual bearing on how language works. The term gender doesn't mean the same thing across contemporary cultures, it's all relative.You seem to not understand when I clearly stated I am not adopting the Newspeak definition of gender.
You have every right to misinterpret or ignore the current Oxford definition of gender but doing so while spouting terms from a book you've never read to justify sticking your head in the sand is silly. It's not newspeak, it's not propaganda, it's just one term that we use to better communicate our social identities, identities that always grow and change with the times and with culture, just like language.
