It doesn't have to be coercive. I can state that majority is either male or female *and* consider being intersex 100% okay.
-
that's a good way to miss most of what's actually going on, but it's progress from the norm, so sure, go ahead and do that

Even if our current understanding of biological sex is misguided (it probably is), that doesn't mean it's just a social construct, does it?
-
"sex is a social construct" doesn't mean we're not describing physical reality, it means we can only do so through a socially built lens
-
we're talking about a thing, barring brain-in-a-jar hypothesis, but we can't embed a thing in our speech, only a social convention about it
-
and "social construct" doesn't necessarily mean arbitrary or unmotivated or not bearing a correspondence to physicality
-
Okay but we build all language through a socially built lens, and describing it that way takes some meaning out of describing gender as a /1
-
Social construct, doesn't it? I mean gender literally is *just* a cultural thing. I guess I thought that was the big distinction
