Male and female aren't constructs though, and the majority of other species on Earth also have males and females. All the members of his species we've seen so far have been male or female, there's no reason to say that they don't apply to him.

I'm not referring to biological sex (e.g. the body parts of a person and their hormonal development).

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Gender roles are constructs, but those are different from being male and female. And I have seen people claim that biological sex was a construct, so I wasn't sure.

How are you referring to male and female then? Can you be more specific? I'm just curious.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I've always heard it as male and female are the biological sexes and masculine/feminine are the gender roles.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't make sense though. How would you classify a transgender person?

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
As a man or woman I guess. Really I think the male/female thing being biological sex is only necessary when you actually need to know the genitals of the person you're talking about, so people use male and female for trans people a lot as well when genitals aren't the subject of conversation.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
It seems like you're saying that there is "gender" (the biological sex of a person which is either male or female) and then there are masculine and feminine gender roles which are the constructs. So a transgender person would be born either a male or a female but are attracted to the opposite gender role? That just doesn't hold up. Lots of women do not fit the female gender role and lots of men do not fit the male gender role but they are not transgender.
I think I could be totally misinterpreting you here.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-10 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's not what I meant at all, but I'm probably not very good at explaining myself. There's sex (male/female), gender (man/woman), and gender roles (masculine/feminine) and they aren't necessarily related so you can have people like you said whose sex matches their gender but their gender role/expression is the opposite.

Mostly I was just taking issue with the anon saying that male and female were constructs because I thought that they meant biological sex was a construct as opposed to society's expectations for the sexes being a construct.

Ah I totally understand you now! Makes perfect sense.
