    What does my gender even change about my life?

    The answer is probably different for each person. I always felt weird about the expectations people have on me based on my gender.

    Is gender even real?

    Great question! I don’t know. Probably is… and isn’t. I think about it like a social construct, like money for example. Money doesn’t exist in biology or in physics. Its just paper, or metal discs, or a number on my screen. But it definitely affects the lives of people living in any civilization. But gender can’t be just a social construct because it’s too subjective. There probably is more to it.

    There isn’t much scientific research in gender. We definitely need more.
