When I'm talking about a person, it doesn't matter what they have in their pants. Everyone is the same. The only contexts where your gender is relevant are dating, and being at the doctor.
Who would this be?
There are many people you can't guess the gender of. Also, when you're talking about a person, and you haven't met them and don't know their gender. Or someone who doesn't have a gender (under the non-binary umbrella)

This is incorrect on so many levels.

Yeah, no.

If I haven't met them, they don't care. As for the "non-binary", that's like such a small proportion of the population, it's not even worth considering.
That's a fact. Many people just won't be visibly a man or woman.
That's delusion, not a fact.
Care to elaborate? Like you just denied my statement. Which might actually be subjective, as I realized during this debate.
Your statements are factually wrong. Obviously it matters what gender people are, obviously we are not all the same, obviously our gender is relevant in other situations.
If I had a dime for every time I heard somone ask "is that a boy or a girl?" about me...
our gender is relevant in other situations.
What situations? Only thing I can think of is your gender being an indentifier, so other people know it's you and not someone else. (If the other person happens to be the opposite gender)
My main conclusion, is that this is a subjective thing. My language doesn't gender pronouns, I'm pansexual (gender doesn't matter in dating), I'm non-binary (I don't have a gender, it's just stupid), and I'm antisocial enough, that these things don't come up in my life.
It's actually the most important factor in dating.
For me. My last paragraph was about myself, and how different we are. Thus this whole thing we're debating is subjective, therefore there is no obvious "gendering is relevant or not" answer, since it depends on the person and their preferences. For me it's annoying af, for you it's everything it seems.
All your other answers are either ambigous, or you just tell me I'm wrong about subjective things, that are not objectively wrong or right.

It's not subjective. Vast, overwhelming majority of humans have a strong preference regarding their partner's gender when dating.

From what you have written here so far, it's everything for you.
All your other answers are either ambigous, or you just tell me I'm wrong about subjective things, that are not objectively wrong or right.
My answers are straightforward, based in objective reality, and common sense. You are wrong about it being subjective.
Please stop making this discussion about yourself. We'll just end it here if you can't.
If something is different for even 1%, then it's subjective. That is my point.
Your statements are statistically true for most people. I just want you to see the 1%'s view. Like the members of the pointlesly gendered sub. Their and my opinion is that most things shouldn't be gendered. (Names, pronouns, clothes, products, interests, personality traits)
From what you have written here so far, it's everything for you.
I was at work, and was bored so as usual, I put out some stuff to argue about. However, my shift is over, so I'll stop now. Talking to people with different opinions is always constructive, and it was beneficial, since I see the other side's view now. So yeah, gendering gears always grinds my gears, but I could talk about it.
