Joke's on you. We're thinking about that all the time anyway.
Any argument for your freedom is an argument for everyone's freedom.

Just to see what happens.

Is "kill yourself immediately" too dark? Probably. But if like three billion people died suddenly and without a massive environmental impact like nukes or some other poisoning of the world, could solve a bunch of problems.

Degrowth now.
Hear me out first.
'Gender critical' theory. Everyone should have this theory, as originally defined, planted in their head. Men would only associate 'masculinity' with their role in providing semen for procreation. Women would only associate 'femininity' with their role in providing eggs for procreation.
There would be no gender-non-conformity because there would be no ideas about gender to conform to. A minority of men would, as an everyday thing, wear dresses. It would be impossible to verify that someone was a woman or not (short of x-raying their uterus).
The important thing, is that if this happened, the people currently claiming that they're 'gender critical' would lose their freaking minds.
This.... sounds very distopian.
Humans on earth would provide their recreational organs to a common cause.
There would be no physical sex (if I am right about what you wrote).
Freaky
Ha, no, I didn't mean it like that. The 'role of providing semen' and the 'role of providing eggs' would be during normal intercourse.
It's wild how threatening people find this idea. I really can't get understand why it is so hard to just imagine seeing each person as an individual. No one is walking around dividing the world a priori into "hockey fans or not" and thinking our society would collapse of if you couldn't do that all of a sudden.

Some would say Love is always the answer for everything. I think that would be a higher state for many. At the very least kindness.
A really intense urge to fart. Let's see who acts on it lol

I wanna see what happens.
"A spectre is haunting Europe β the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact:
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.
To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in London and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages."
Read the first sentence and was hoping you just wanted people to fear a vengeful ghost.
