    I dunno, sounds like you just reinvented social constructs and then pretended they were objective reality.

    Also if opinion is the sole determinant, are you saying I was objectively a boy back before my egg cracked? Like that I was a boy and it was objective reality? Ewwwwww!!!

      Gender itself is entirely a social construct. The reality, however, is that this construct exists in our interactions, and that we are unable to define it based on anything but self-assessment.

      Still, if we switch back to the scope of the objective reality about humans themselves, gender is entirely social.

      Objective reality operates the category of sex and couldn’t care less about whatever we created around it - including gender and gender roles.
