yeah I think there is an understandable tendency to equate all essentialisms with bioessentialism, especially considering the application of the false doctrine of “sex” to practices of gender(ing), but what that leaves out are the myriad violent forms of social / cultural / etc essentialism equally if not more insidious and difficult to uproot, at least in the area of cisheterosexism.

e.g. accusations of predatoriness are more accurately ascribed to understandings of “toxic” social environment cultivated by a critical mass of “antisocial” actors, or even the fundamental belief that a set of “feminine” (and always-already white) values must be endemic to certain purified socialities (though not necessarily to certain bodies) and it is for this reason that the aforementioned bodies must be protected from supposed contamination
