I'd like to announce that I have absolutely no intention of exploring my gender identity & expression in 2019, but if I want wear nails & skirts, and dress head to toe in pink, I will, because these things should have absolutely nothing to do with how we conceptualise gender.

Right. What's that got to do with anything I said?

Well, it's a moral claim - there's an Is/Ought gap. As far as I'm concerned, those things should have nothing to do with gender. You are at liberty to disagree, of course.

So to be clear, your view is that there's an inevitability about the association between "womanhood", and nails, skirts & pink? Yeah, I don't buy it. (Of course, I already know that the conceptions surrounding gender are not entirely arbitrary. That's obvious.)

Inevitability is precisely the right word. If it's not inevitable, there is no contradiction in objecting to it on political or moral grounds. I already perfectly understand that conceptions of gender might have an evolutionary component, etc.
