I feel like gender gets misunderstood by a lot of people. I don’t think most feminists think it’s pure social construction (although I’m sure some do). It’s a spectrum, rooted in biology but with a lot of flexibility. I suppose analogous to personality, and sexual orientation.https://twitter.com/toadmeister/status/1051388177800450048 …

Unfortunately that bimodal model will quickly be outdated a generation from now, as digital/social media further twists and shatters various pysches of fragile individuals into competing "gender identities":https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/18/style/gender-nonbinary-brand-marketing.html …

Ehh, I'm not so sure. This strikes me as faddish behaviour. There are some people who want to break the mould, there always have been. But the vast majority will cluster around the two peaks. And I don't think we'll ever lose them entirely.

I actually expect a fashionable swing back TOWARD gender-norms in the next twenty or so years. Right now, we're trying to smash them down to open things up for non-conforming people, but it won't last. We'll be pulled back toward what it's rooted in, via a certain gravity.

Possible, but only if tech companies roll out new, "reactionary" social algorithms that attempts to reverse rampant identity disruption, via over immersion to cyberspace, in the younger generations

I don't know if we have to assume that it would need to be "top-down" rather than "bottom-up". Human beings are pretty malleable, and culture and outside influences can shape us, but we have a biology that we tend to snap back to (or maybe slowly pendulum swing back to).
