    Gender” isn’t about whether you like to read or garden, whether you’re inquisitive or incurious, or whether you’re chatty or quiet. Gender is an aspect of identity, and perhaps of personality, but it is not exactly the same as identity or personality.

    Gender is a bunch of signals, given through bodies, clothes, mannerisms, etc., which tell others something about societal roles and personal identity. I think it’s hard to come up with a watertight, essentialist view of what gender is, because everybody experiences it differently.

    It's either that, or they admit that gender identity is an undefinable and unfalsifiable concept, which I'd be pretty okay with if they weren't still adamant about using that meaningless concept to redefine the categories of man and woman.
