I'd rather they be indoctrinated with that than the latest
LBQT++ or any other ridiculous boys and girls should pee
together ruling.  Let's not forget let a boy wear a skirt
and he can compete against the girls because after all men
can have babies, too.  Never mind Bobby wants to be called
them or they while Susie wants to be called he.

"Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that
are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles
associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as
relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from
society to society and can change over time."

demand to be referred to with the pronouns of their choice but it is a
fucking travesty for someone to be upset about that person expecting
everyone else to change their language to suit their delusions.  In
English they/them is plural. If they want a neuter they should pick up
German or Latin.

Which rule is morally superior?

Forcing the world to adopt to your absurd definition of gender is the perfect example of moral inferiority. Then kicking and screaming once the world refuses to adopt to yoru every whim, takes that being even lower morally.
For the edge cases out there I can give you a perfectly simple and scientifically proven definition. Do you have a Y chromosome, then male, if not, female.
If you start to indulge in nonsense such as redefining the most simple terms, you throw out truth, and by doing that, all communication soon becomes meaningless.
