I don't think about stereotypes at all.

I just see gender as a spectrum so wide that allow anyone to be how they feel on this spectrum, it's a whole diversity

You can define "gender" as whatever you want it to be, but it is meaningless and irrelevant if anyone can be anything they want. But you didn't engage with the point I made, that the words "woman" and "man" are not defined in terms of "gender", they are defined in terms of sex, female or male.

Sex is not a spectrum, it's a simple binary that everyone learns in school. This is a very simple explanation of why it is a binary not a spectrum :

That's entirely the point : gender is a social construct, it's just a part of a person's identity, allowing it to be what we want.

If you want to keep your gender aligned to your sex, it's fine. If you want your gender to be something else, it's fine too. People choosing their gender doesn't affect your life, so why do you care?

Sex (or genitals) is indeed a biological reality, but its only importance is for when you want to have kids, else we don't give a damn about what's in people's pants.

This is the important part of my point : we don't force anything to anybody, we just want to be able to express ourselves freely. It doesn't change anything for anybody else, so why is it so much important?

Unfortunately this is not true. Claiming to be something that you are not DOES change things for other people as I have explained several times to you with examples.

If you could just express yourself without colonizing other people's space, nobody would have any problem with that. The only reason there is conflict here is because you (or trans rights activists in general) are crossing a line into territory that already belongs to someone else.

"gender is a social construct, it's just a part of a person's identity, allowing it to be what we want"

You misunderstand what identity is. Your identity is not what you feel about yourself or how you think about yourself inside your own head. Look at your identity card. It lists the important details about you that OTHER people use to distinguish you from anyone else: your date of birth, your place of birth, your sex, your name. Inside your head you don't need a name, you're the only person in there. Your date of birth is irrelevant inside your head. Your identity is what other people agree on to say that you are this person and not that person. As such your identity absolutely doesn't allow you to be what you want, it is not your decision to make.

"People choosing their gender doesn't affect your life, so why do you care?"

I don't care how you present. I do care if you claim to actually be a woman, because that is objectively false, and misogynistic, and endangers women.

"Sex (or genitals) is indeed a biological reality, but its only importance is for when you want to have kids, else we don't give a damn about what's in people's pants."

There are lots of people who don't want to have kids but very much do care what is in the pants of people they want to have sex with or form emotional relationships with. The fact that you might not, should not be used to invalidate those people.
