Gender may in part be a social construct, but that doesn’t make it not real. Social constructs are very real.
For anyone who wants this same point made in more detail, Philosophy Tube has a great video on it. https://youtu.be/koud7hgGyQ8?si=6yYv-uc9C9wh0_9E
The genders are made up and the points don’t matter, but if one mf’er misgenders me, this house of cards collapses.

This line of thinking got me to realize I’m non-binary.
Specifically this great YouTube video by Shonalika.
True.
Gender seems to at least be as real as anything else to some extent, that’s why gender dysphoria exists and people report not being able to change it. Large parts of it are socially constructed though. We’re not really 100% sure about it at the moment.
I’m no expert so don’t mistake this for truth (and I’m sure this is an abhorrent over simplification), but I’ve heard it better described as gender being a biological thing with gender roles being the social construct.
I don’t know that the difference really matters in practice anyway, I honestly didn’t care much for the way the person who claimed this thought everyone was causing harm by saying gender is a social construct.
