"Gender" refers to social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral constructs particular to humans.

In other words, a load of

Why the hell would anybody want to adopt a gender role, when they are free do whatever they want? Seriously, the "shackles" of gender roles came off many decades ago. I can't remember the last time I identified with or as anything. Maybe I haven't since birth. Consequently I have no clue what they are trying to accomplish with this, except maybe to sow more chaos and confusion.

I'm not a card carrying member of any community or club; I don't know the secret handshakes and don't want to know. My appearance is whatever is achieved with the minimum of cleaning, grooming, dental work, and cheap clothes. I may look like a hairy old white guy, but I don't belong to that club either or hang out with them, or do what hairy old white guys typically do.

Others may judge me based on how I look, how I live, what I'm driving, etc... but that's their business, not mine. I prefer not to be harassed or have my life threatened when I'm legally going about my business, but that has happened hundreds of times. No big deal.

I was a PhD student in Psychology before I left university because I could actually make a living doing IT and Cybersecurity, and because jobs in academia are few and far between. But readers need to understand that Psychology is a science. And in that science, "sex" and "gender" have very precise, and different, definitions. That's the basis I was coming from.

As to "why the hell..." ? Because "they are free [to] do whatever they want", as you said. Even if it's not a choice you or I would make.
