How? Patterns exist. You can eliminate the harmful mindset that is sexism but not the pattern.

How much of the pattern will remain without the mindset? How much of those patterns are influenced by gendered socialisation? How many are inherent?

None are inherent. All of them are currently influenced by gendered society. But would they die down if this external influence ceased? I don't think so. Trends would still exist. Take a big group of people and you'll always see a pattern.

We might not be able to predict what this pattern looks like, but its quite certain that it would exist. Or do you think that everything would be more or less homogeneous?

No idea but I doubt anyone would still be claiming skirts are more female.

Agreed. As I said. I doubt the patterns would be the same. But I'm more or less certain theyll exist. And if they do, then they can be used for passing. Not to mention the obvious biological differences between male and female which will stay the same.
