Gender is a social construct, one that should be challenged at every turn, but it has a huge impact on upbringing and how people treat someone, socially And, most women are assigned female at birth. Not all women — most. How a body works will influence the kind of person someone becomes. It’s an important field of research that lagged behind men’s health for centuries. Only recently have we begun to catch up. No one here is saying there are specific social and biological markers that need to be met to be a woman, but that being a woman often comes with being socialized differently from men and having a different physiology.

Eh. Trans women can be biologically female and socialized female. I would argue that if your hormones are estrogen-dominated, and have been for a prolonged period, than you’re biologically more female than male. And if you live as a woman, out and open in the world, being seen and read as female by the people you meet? What you’re experiencing IS female socialization. Socialization is not something unique to children. Anyone read by strangers as female will experience female socialization.
