heh, read that wrong. Some people believe gender is a social construct, kittenkoder comes to mind.Not entirely true. While hormone tests can establish which sex a person is according to, say, standards set by the Olympics committee, race is a social construct. Genetic tests only reveal genetic variables and while they can be used to associate a person to other people with similar gene patterns living together in different parts of the world, that's about all they can do. We all all one species.You can't always tell if a man is a man by looking at him either, but that doesn't change the fact that he is by definition a man.
Epic Fail!
Race is a social construct and we'd be more correct to use ethnic background but what can you do? Doesn't change my point.
Gender is a social construct. Sex is not.
