"feminists" were apparently the early adopters of the concept of gender if not one of its progenitors. Some merit in the concept of gender as personalities and personality types by sex which more sensible feminists have promoted: https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2012/entries/feminism-gender/#GenFemMasPer But most of the rest seems…
Really? What about the men with their sexualized cross-dressing and sexual fetishes over the centuries? I consider the cross-dressing and sexual fetishes in the realm of "gender." SOME women saw opportunity and joined the party because, well, some women are perverts just as some men are perverts. Judith Butler is one. The younger women I've talked to who say they support this drivel DO NOT consider themselves feminists, although no doubt some others do. As is usual, they rush to protect the worst men and attack "feminists." The goal of misogynists (both male and female misogynists) back in the day was to attack any female who stepped out of line and professed support for opportunity and self-determination for women. They made feminism a dirty word, just like the #MeToo movement made "men" a dirty word. I like rainbows but now that has been co-opted by the T cult, just as the word feminism has been co-opted by the Progressives. The bottom line from the poll is a majority of men and women support the T cult, although there are more females, as I would expect because females are generally more accommodating. Going back and forth over who is worse is pointless.
Sure, there have been plenty of gender-non-conforming individuals over the centuries.
But as a philosophy and an ideology -- Butler being the cuckoo in the nest, that seems fairly recent. You might take a gander at Colin Wright's synopsis in a tweet, and my various comments on a post on the topic at his Substack:

But most of the rest seems little more than quite unscientific if not anti-scientific claptrap. See "Professing Feminism":

You might take a gander at feminist Janice Raymond's paper from 1979, The Transsexual Empire. https://janiceraymond.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/The%20Transsexual%20Empire.pdf
Goose or gander? 😉🙂
Will do -- partly because I'd intended to do so before.
But issue is still the profoundly anti-scientific claptrap in a great deal of feminism.
