Hey @PsychScientists please listen to Olivia and Iris on this. Jack H/lberstam and other TERFs use that kind of rhetoric to erase NB folks all the time. It’s fundamentally dehumanizing to speak about NB folx in the way the article does.
Social constructions are real. That's really not what we're discussing here. They are real, but to say gender is 100% social as opposed to an individual identity/construction is demonstrably mistaken.

But isn’t ‘social’ the basic rad-fem definition? Given that it certainly explains why they suggest people who say otherwise are making an error. Obviously they could be wrong too, but that’s their whole framing. Certainly gets to the source of their critiques, if not the validity

I think you confuse radfem with TERF a lot here and I assume we're talking TERFs. So, no, it's absolutely not their whole framing. I've said (and others) many times it is not. Their framing is social until you mention trans women and then it's all about penis = male.
