With all due respect, it is proven that gender is not a social construct. I can show you a plethora of videos that prove to you that it's not at all a social construct, but a biological construct.

An example of why it's not at all socially constructed, is because, if I want to say that I'm a woman, I don't automatically become a woman. In order to become a female, you must have female anatomy/autonomy, and XX chromosomes, not because you dress in hipster clothing and wear your mother's 80s make-up. Also, if I am to be classified as a woman, I must have the ability to reproduce, and I don't think little Timmy is going to come out successfully from my choad.

What I'm trying to say is, biology trumps feelings by a country mile, and just because you say you're a female, doesn't automatically make you a female. There are numerous hormone therapy treatments that need to occur in order for you to become a woman/male, and a gender reassignment surgery. If you don't undergo that, you are simply "Transgender", with the assumption that you prefer to be the opposing gender.

And I mean this with no disrespect towards you, but I'm not going to call Riley a "she" because he wants me to. If Riley is a biological male, I will call Riley a "he", if Riley is biologically a female, I will call Riley a "she". If she believes that there are 76 genders, I will call Riley "retarded" (that last one was just a joke)
