ahem drumroll please. The information I am about to share may be shocking and triggering to tumblrinas, so prepare yourself. ...GENDER IS NOT A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT!  The reason why people say that gender is a social construct is because of the work of a psychologist called John Money. John Money's methods of research were a little bit off to say the least. A baby called David Reimer has a botched circumcision, John Money says to just lop the rest of his genitals off and give him a sex change. Raise him to believe he's a girl and there you have it, gender is a social construct because he'll be none the wiser to the fact that he's really male. We'll construct a female gender for him. (Sidenote; one of his methods for this including stripping both David and his twin brother down to nothing and having them mime sexual acts with David in a passive female role while John Money photographed it. So, you know. SJWs support paedophilia). David reached the age of about 6 and John Money declared himself successful. What he misses out, however, is the fact that as David got older, he demonstrated that he knew he should be male and that he was extremely unhappy as a female. In other words, the social construct didn't work (because gender is not a social construct, shockingly enough). In fact, David was so unhappy that he ended up committing suicide. How successful.
