Social progress takes a very long time and can be undone in just a fraction of that. Humans reaching cultural maturity is probably the hardest thing we'll ever have to do.
It'd definitely a good thing that awareness is being raised wrt these topics, but I think the extremely aggressive nature of many PC groups and movements is a bad thing for the people they're trying to protect. This is often easy to explain as the majority of members of these groups aren't part of these minorities, but are rather majority people who feel entitled to be offended on other people's behalf. However, as someone who's part of a minority myself, I can say with confidence that extremely aggressive counterstances are not productive. They just serve to create more anger and diversity. First people need to understand before they can accept. In other words, right idea, non-ideal execution.

If we had infinite processing power, technically every person would have their own unique gender, as unique as their arrangement of atoms.
Since resources are finite, we still need boxes for sorting to maintain interactive efficiency, even though we can today sort more types of boxes than before..

Maybe gender is just not that important a metric. Maybe boxifying it isn't a great solution and we've just been taking the easy route.
