I disagree. Gender is not only entirely "socially constructed", it's a made up lie, no different from any other cult ideology. Accepting that gender is real is the first step down a path to madness.

What?

That's just what I've been thinking lately. Sex exists, obviously. But gender, if understood as anything beyond a synonym, is made up nonsense.

True, gender is essentially a synonym for sex, it's only when you look at our culture obliquely that there's any use for separating sex and gender. Gender being the cultural expression biological sex takes in a society. There's no practical merit to separating sex and gender, it's only an academic abstraction.

They should have used a new word rather than twisting an already used one.

In countries which only have one word for biological sex (and gender is only a language term) they call this academic gender "sex roles" or "sex stereotypes".

I vote for sex stereotype, it's a more accurate term.

Gender was the new word. People just took it to be a more "polite" way to say "sex" but were misusing the word itself.

It's a bit unfortunate that the word they chose was related to grammar which also has masculine and feminine forms which also have no direct connection to biological sex but do imply it in some cases.

Gender really isn't a synonym for sex, "gender" specifically relates to language, whereas sex is biological reality. "Male" and "female," "man" and " woman" aren't genders, they are sexes. Gender refers to nouns and how they relate to other words, and the most common ones in gendered languages are "masculine," "feminine," "neuter" and/or "ungendered," though I believe some languages contain others (again, though, this is LANGUAGES, not PEOPLE).

A long time ago, people decided it was impolite to use the word "sex" in gentlemanly conversation, though, so they started using the word "gender" inappropriately as a euphamism. A certain high-profile groomer who wanted to abuse children decided to use that whole "word vs euphemism" ambiguity to add a veneer of scientific legitimacy to his darker desires, and now we are having debates about "there are only two genders" versus "gender is a spectrum," and the truth is both arguments are wrong, because they're both using the word "gender" as a stand-in for sex.

There are two SEXES. There are as many GENDERS as any language cares to have. Neither of these things are a SPECTRUM, and only sex is relevant to the idea of PEOPLE.

2nd wave feminism did adopt that use of the word gender to talk about a legitimate subject ie the sex based castes. Many of those same people also went full off the rails by claiming all of gender is a social construct as if evolution played no part. When the ignorant masses looped back around with thinking sex = gender, the TRAs went full nutter and brought in the social construct element to sex.
