One source writes that "gender abolition is about dismantling the basal structures of the [[sexism|patriarchy]], not about barring people from expressing their identity" and that "gender abolition does not prevent people from engaging with [[masculinity]] and [[femininity]] and constructing their identities around those concepts."<ref>https://cherwell.org/2021/10/09/gender-abolition-why-it-matters/</ref> | One source writes that "gender abolition is about dismantling the basal structures of the [[sexism|patriarchy]], not about barring people from expressing their identity" and that "gender abolition does not prevent people from engaging with [[masculinity]] and [[femininity]] and constructing their identities around those concepts."<ref>https://cherwell.org/2021/10/09/gender-abolition-why-it-matters/</ref> | ||
[[Feminism|Feminist]] Andrea Dworkin wrote of an idealized, gender-abolitionist future society: | |||
{{quote|...by changing our premises about men and women, role-playing, and polarity, the social situation of [[transsexual]]s will be transformed, and transsexuals will be integrated into community, no longer persecuted and despised. [...] community built on [[androgynous]] identity will mean the end of transsexuality as we know it. Either the transsexual will be able to expand his/her sexuality into a fluid androgyny, or, as [[gender roles|roles]] disappear, the phenomenon of transsexuality will disappear and that energy will be transformed into new modes of sexual identity and behavior.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/john-stoltenberg-andrew-dworkin-was-trans-ally/ |last=Stoltenberg |first=John|title=Andrea Dworkin Was a Trans Ally| date=8 April 2020}}</ref>}} | |||
