I mean, entirely false, but ok.

Gender is very much real, you just seem to have a false perception of what the word means.

Most of us do very much have a gender, it is a very small minority who feels their gender does not match their sex, and smaller still are those who, like you apparently, feel no sense of gender at all.

Being outside the common experience doesn't mean you get to disregard the common experience any more then we should disregard your experience.

OP obviously means that gender is a construct

Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk! (He's a construct)

Also apparently it's Adam Smasher's birthday?

Obviously you didn't read what I wrote, because it is not a construction.

We are animals, we have two sexes. Those sexes are different physically, including brain development.

Human genders are the typical manifestation of our sexual dimorphism. Atypical examples are why we've constructed the idea that gender and sex are different, to be socially inclusive to those few outliers.

What a "man" or "woman" is changes over time and by culture. Some indigenous cultures have more than 2 genders. "Boys" become "men" at different ages, depending on the culture. It is a social construct (though I'd argue constructs are "real").

You can just admit to being wrong dude

Ok then define a gender for me. I'll wait.
