What are the social aspects of gender? Please list some.

The problem with this line of thinking is that while you keep it amorphous is seems like it makes sense. That's because we're all raised in a sexist society so we all know deep down what is expected of women, even if we make a conscious effort to reject it. When you get explicit about exactly which social behaviors are of each gender, you end up simply listing sexist stereotypes.

So please, list some social aspects of gender that aren't just the same sexism in a new hat.

I won't hide that social expectations stem from sexism, but that's how the world works for now, and passing trans people face the same social experience of their target gender.

Yeah, no.

And the VAST majority of trans people do not pass.
