I think there is an element of that in this.I think Gender Neutrality is just a cover story for the real reasons behind all this. Some people want to be called normal, but still maintain their special little victim status membership. So the idea of gender neutrality or fluidity lets them keep their identity politics, but also allows them to say everyone else has to accept their lifestyle and viewpoints as 100% normal, with anyone disagreeing being labelled a bigot or worse.
Also I saw what might be an interesting clue in the comments section the Slate piece: Men's oppression of women, and how this is a reaction to that. Depending on the issue, we have retribution for men's oppression of women, of whites' oppression of blacks, of America's oppression of the world - are you seeing a trend here?
Payback, perhaps?

It's all about payback, and retaining any advantage gained by being considered a "protected class".
