It's actually really simple. See... unpacks a pile of books of advanced biology and genetics
Although... gets another pile of books about psychology and neurology
And we have to consider... drops another pile of books about sociology and anthropology.
Pretty obvious, isn't it?

I figure it is like football team supporters.
Football isn't real either. It's a made up thing with made up rules and made up uniforms.
But it someone tells you they support a team, you go, "OK".
Even if they are wearing the shirt of one team and say they support the other, "OK".
Maybe they don't look like they support either team, stil,l "OK".

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"
"Oh, no, I only pay attention when my gender makes it to the playoffs."

Sounds a bit gay…

-
me when my gender gets a broken arm and loses to the Washington Senators

You don't really need to. All that matters is to respect how a person identifies.
-
I'm still cis tho, but gender isn't real. It's all performance.
-
That's the neat part: you don't
-
my genders are he/they
-
He/They because I'll never be Him.

how does one differentiate between man and woman? owo
-
I have for some reason always felt that the meaning of the words "sex" and "gender" should be reversed.
Maybe that is because Freud has called "any form of societal behavior" is a form of sexuality, as far as i remember.

Sex is rooted in reality, but the boundaries are socially constructed.
Similarly, Pluto is no longer a planet because "planet" is a socially constructed category. It doesn't mean that it's not rooted in tangible, factual reality, just that we culturally decide what characteristics are required to fall into the categories we created.
-
pretending that biology/science exists without the social constructs or biases is a fool's errand. sex is as much of a real thing as the concept of species, its a generalized idea of something that cant be easily divided or distinguished based on really anything. its made to fit the social construct we already had, science didnt sprung out in an unbiased form and has not grown out of it. the distinction is flawed and done sometimes for ease and sanity; but a lot of times because of bias
