 * That is TRUE. It IS simply an opinion.
 * Formed, and backed up by pseudo-scientists and activists.
 * This video shows that the man who stated "gender is a social construct" MADE IT UP:

 * The meaning of every single word in the dictionary is a social construct. That's true for words like gender and sex, exactly like it's true for words like car and truck. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * True, and sex and gender were made up to mean THE SAME THING!! 92.9.207.69 (talk) 21:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

(The first sentence in the third paragraph should state…) “Though sex and gender have been used interchangeably at least as early as the fourteenth century, this usage was not common by the late 1900s.” (*1800s is a typo-please fix) (John Money began his social science in the mid 1990’s. The conceptualization of the word Gender did not change until the late 1900s, NOT the late 1800s) 184.97.75.129 (talk) 14:00, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Gorelick et al, in the Biological Journal of the Linnaean Society, find no universal differences between males and females: https://academic.oup.com/biolinnean/article/120/1/1/2864987

This would appear to undermine the cited claim from Majerus that gamete size is the only universal difference. 2A00:23C6:8A05:B001:A845:2054:6D3E:A2BA (talk) 13:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
