Sometimes you need to aknowledge differences between groups and treat people differently for them to in fact be treated equally. Removing the two genders solves nothing.

The only meaningful difference between men and women in today's society is how they are brought up, which has everything to do with their gender. If there was no gender, then feminine or masculine traits would not exist, hence nobody would discriminate based on them. Women are treated differently because people are taught to believe that they are different. People expect different behavior from different genders and that is the core of the problem.

If you remove gender, people will be treated based on their actual behavior and not their expected behavior because there is no expected behavior. Separating genders has no basis in reality anymore and should be abolished. You cannot discriminate based on gender when gender doesn't exist.

Differences are important on a physiological level, not on a psychological level, gender discrimination happens only on the basis of the latter.

Gender stems from sex, of which there are two. Biological differences create different societal differences and the way people relate to to these differences is their gender identity. The problem is you seem to see gender as something inherently bad. But removing someone's gender is like saying we should do away with the concept of race (in which case I'm talking about the biological difference of skin color and nothing more). You could say we should do away with the concept to quell racism.

The only thing you'll achieve is that racism would be unquantifiable and you will have hampered attempts to quell racism. If you want to solve problems faced by black people, you need to be able to quantify that community. If you want to solve issues women are facing, you need to point out who the people are who are facing that problem, and who the people are that cause.

Getting rid of the concept of gender is not only pointless, it's also simply impossible.
