      But why the word gender then?

      Because words have a meaning and you don’t seem to understand the difference between sex and gender so I explained it to you in the simplest way possible. If you want to argue that gender doesn’t exist then I can refer you to tons of videos from people much more knowledgeable than you and me on that subject.

      It’s funny that you say “German is a precise language” and you’re mad that in English there’s a word to distinguish between two separate concepts… Are you somehow trying to argue that German is a superior language instead of admitting that maybe it doesn’t cover every possibilities? Wait until you learn about Japanese and Mandarin with their words for abstract concepts!

      Why would I identify with such a construct?

      You don’t live in society?

      If I am a male and I am looking for a mate to make children, then I am not interested in the persons belief, what they believe to be, but their biological properties.

      Oh so then you don’t mind if your mate looks like him or do you think it might be relevant to speak about gender now that you’re thinking about forming a family with that person? This part of your text also makes you sound a lot like you believe in eugenics… Trying to pass your genes based on the how good the other people is biologically and nothing else… I’ll leave it at that…

      I don’t know where you found your definition of gender study but it’s exactly what it says, women study has been a thing for ages, nothing unusual about broadening that field to encompassate more than just women and it just so happens that some people don’t fit in what is men or women gender expectations.

      You’re stuck on the fact that genders vary from place to place… As if everything else is the same no matter where you look in the world? A person raised male but identifying as female might have been two spirit (a gender older than the society you live in by the way) had they been raised in a traditional first Nation family, but that’s not their reality and as such they make their situation make sense in the context they live in.

      Just because your language doesn’t have a word for it doesn’t mean people don’t experience it, it just means your language needs to evolve. If the word for depression doesn’t exist in a language then do you think depression doesn’t exist for the people who speak it?
