This is really interesting. I am left with many questions. My underlying fundamental belief is that gender is a social construct and sex is not. Gender is another word for stereotypical sex roles. I believe her definition of gender is describing sex differences. I am going to get her book from the library to learn more, but off the bat I found this concerning. Am I wrong about gender? Yet there is such a strong social component. She believes there are truly trans people and that there are brain differences... I don’t know. The whole thing leaves me very uncertain.

I don't buy into her argument, personally. This seems like it was made to confuse.
