That our actions, appearance, the way we present ourselves is what decides our gender sounds sexist. The consept sounds like, what makes us our gender is the societal roles (gender roles) we choose to embrace. But, if a cis womban wanted to choose to embrace mens’ societal roles, would that mean that she is a man? or that she is more of a man than a woman?

It just sounds sexist idk… maybe I’m just being a trad

    It doesn’t mean anything.

    People say “gender is a social construct” but doesn’t that mean that society decides what gender is? And in our society gender and sex are undeniably linked. It’s why women who embrace male social roles and whatnot are still women. It’s why people, even woke ones, will never accept no HRT trans people as completely their identified gender.

    Gender doesn’t equal sex is not a statement that reflects the reality of our culture, and is more of statement for what they want society to be I guess.
