so at a recent work meeting we were looking at our anti-discrimination rules, and of the things it specifically protects is "gender expression" (in addition to gender identity, sexuality etc)
one of my coworkers said that "gender expression is not a thing" which is a claim i've never heard before.
for context she's young, studies gender academically (which means her discourse is often different from mine) and she seems generally cool with both gay and trans people. like, i don't think she's a TERF at least.
still, i'm wondering if this is the catchphrase of some type of person i should stay away from, or if this is a thing in gender academia or whatever. thankful for advice!
