#hokkaihottake if you saie "gender isn't real" that's correct. If you saie "gender is real" that's also correct gender is real in the same waie moneie is it's currencie not in the sense of trading genders themselves tho if you do that, awesome but you're trading gendered word for expectations saie "saw a woman todaie" and people get an idea in their head of what a woman might look like, act like, be like saie "saw a woman in cool masculine clothes todaie" and there's a different expectation that builds on the mixture of "woman" and "masculine" gender is a categorising siestem, it trades words for assumptions, and rewards and punishes for "incorrect" trades with things like diesphoria so yeah it's a made up social construct it's also real it has a function and a purpose and like aniething conceptual with a purpose, it can be subverted, and sometimes that's the new purpose aniewaie basicallie go wild with gender and have fun
