Saying gender is *entirely* socially constructed ignores the actual living reality of those who find that they are living in a body not confluent with their internal gender. This doesn't mean that there aren't masculine trans women or feminine trans men, because masculinity and femininity are different concepts from an internal sense of gender.

This is so odd to me.

There was a distinction made between gender and sex. The reason for this is that gender is not static. It changes depending on time and place, and often has little to do with whether someone feels themselves to be a man or a woman. Masculinity and femininity were gender; that internal sense concerning what body a person should be in was sex.

Now, that's become bad to do. Everything is gender now. And I don't get it.

There's a reason that different terminology was used for the part that's socially constructed and the part that's not. It's because, well, they are different. I don't see how it benefits anyone to use one term for both.
