  • Sex is not a social construct. Gender is.

    It’s true - we are learning more about sex every year and understanding it’s not completely binary. But your sex is assigned at conception.

    That’s one of the reasons doctor’s don’t ask about your gender, but your sex - because treating could be different. And, as an example, IHE (medical standard) recognizes about 7 sexes.

    Gender, on the other hand, defines social norms we expect from certain sex. How gender is perceived changes from culture to culture and from one period of history to another - sex doesn’t.

    That being said, I do believe that gender roles should be a thing of the past. You do you, whatever you’re comfortable with.
