"gender abolitionist" is one of those labels you have to be super careful around because some people mean it in the sense of "gender roles are inherently restrictive and are used under patriarchy as a weapon and means of oppression, so we need to break down the separations and prescriptive beliefs around gender until the terms are essentially meaningless or artefacts" and others mean it in the sense of "one gender is good and one is bad, so we need to remove the bad one and that will fix all our problems" and both of those people are making the same outreach posts about how gender is made up and the rules make no sense
