She's so close to getting it, that gender is as much of a bullshit category as race is.
Frustrating to see someone understanding partially but not making the final leap to connect it.

People like that understand exactly as much as they want to understand in order to further their ideological goal.

If they're both social constructs, why can't she do what she's saying? We acknowledge the material difference when it comes to skin pigment but not the differences between male and female bodies. It's very weird. People can live how they want as far as I'm concerned, but the logic is clearly not consistent.
