Gender is like planets. The category of "planets" (as opposed to e.g. planetoids) is socially constructed, but the IAU can still make a decision about whether Pluto is a planet.

If gender is a socially constructed thing, like there's a 'caricature' of a man, then why do we still consider people 'men' who don't correspond at all to the caricature of a man? And then I doubly don't understand how you can change your gender by making a decision about it.
