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.

Ngl, my heart hurts from this conversation. I try to step really carefully with my words and make sure no one is intentionally excluded or othered with my comments here. I was enjoying the offshoot topics that were developing as well. Ah well.
