    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”).
