I am not unconvinced that the internal thing we try to fit into socially constructed gender categories isn't what gender actually *is* - or at least isn't equally as important as the socially constructed categories, meaning that gender is not wholly a social construct but rather... I guess the interface between an inherent, internal thing and socially constructed categorizes, which we have no choice but to use in some way because we need things that are commonly understood for, as you said, social navigation.

NAYRT (although I think I share broadly similar views to AYRT) and I think i would say that what you are talking about here is what I would think of as gender identity, as distinct from gender as a construct.

If you like the language analogy, you could possibly say that the relationship between gender identity and gender is a bit like the relationship between meaning and words.
