Might as well ask the queer community because they've thought about this more than I ever will.

I think the gender binary (and coping mechanisms like a gender spectrum) is nonsense, and the concept of gender whatsoever is increasingly obsolete in society. I have no problem with all the coping mechanisms people have for reconciling themselves with our society's dumbassery, I'm not a prefigurative idealist, but if asked to make a choice, I consider myself non-binary. This is purely a political stance, outwardly I fit neatly into the 'cis man' label and that has about 0 affect on my mindset and life. I face no societal oppression for my sex, sexuality or gender so I'm effectively only involved in the queer movement in solidarity, rather than being a part of a queer community.

What is a succinct way to sketch this position to people? Postgenderism? Gender abolitionism? I definitely want to avoid using the wrong words and having people mistaking my position for "gender critical" bigotry.

i have always found gender to be such an obtuse thing; you will see things like "gender is how you present yourself" but run into contradictory perspectives like "clothes aren't gendered" or "body types aren't gendered", and it really waters down what is actually trying to be articulated by the word. i don't really think it's pointing to any one thing at all; trying to think about how i perceive gender as a concept with for instance my trans friends and it's like we're in a whole different fucking universe.
language kinda fucking sucks none of this shit actually makes any sense i think. i consider myself a gender abolitionist but even that is like fuckin, not even really true? in a way? i really don't even try to talk about it anymore with people because it's just so alien to most people, even most queer people

The world you are looking for is "privileged". As a cis man you have the luxury to be dismissive about gender as your own identity is based on the "default", the unsaid assumption, the general reference point to which everything everything else is compared. You can call yourself whatever you like, as it has zero consequences. The very real, evidently intensifying struggles that queer people face will not go away just because some cis man on leftypol.org considers themselves to be above the concept of gender.

It literally will. OP clearly detailed how this will happen with more than enough citations and references to peer-reviewed journals. Read Marx.
