    Dancing around the word and repeating it a bunch is not defining. Try something better than Google. Tell me what it is that has you convinced there’s some kind of meaning in the terms.

      Is that definition not supporting your points though? It defines gender as mostly a social construct, which imo reinforces the fact that it’s made up and not a tangible thing anyway.

      Sometimes biological sex matters (e.g. as medical info for a doctor to understand) but other than that it’s connected to gender in name only, based on made-up social rules.

        There’s loads of totally made up stuff that I can put a hard definition on. Gender? Absolutely nothing. Gender roles are bad and genitalia doesn’t define them, so what does? Absolutely goddamn nothing. Math is intangible and made up, but very clearly and functionally defined. Gender? Nothing. Define one. I’m still waiting. You’ve got nothing.
