Not a social construct, but a natural one. With the rare exception of being born hermaphrodite, there are only two genders, aka sexes: male and female. Everything in the known cosmos has a Male-female polarity. Every living thing has either male reproductive or female reproductive organs, for the purpose of procreation, as well as hormones correlative to the reproductive organs. Anything in-between stems from a damaged psyche and unstable mind, due to a repressed self from parents, peers, or society deeming it unacceptable.

The social construction of gender in most societies in the world where gender is a dichotomy between male and female. Male and female gender expectations, roles, and functions are generally very rigid and the presence of alternate gender constructions are usually denigrated, ignored, or made oblivious.
The gender binary is crap and doesn't allow for individual gender expression like being genderqueer or two spirit

The belief that there are two genders: male and female. This, of course, is incorrect because gender is a social construct. But it is still ok to identify as a gender. If labeling yourself makes you feel more comfortable that is perfectly acceptable, but that is your identity not the rest of the world has to revolve around gender. yay. stop being bigots and open your mind to new ideas.
Person 1: Why is the world centered around the belief of gender binary?
Person 2: Because humans suck. At least global warming will kill them soon enough, or they'll kill themselves through nuclear war.

a 1000000% valid gender identity where you don’t quite fit in with males or females. non binaries can use any pronouns but one of the most common pronouns used by non binaries is they/them
cishet: aww you’re the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen!
gender non binary: actually, i don’t classify as a girl
cishet: you’re the most handsome boy i’ve ever seen??
gender non binary: no, actually, i’m non binary and my pronouns are they/them
gender non binary: actually, i don’t classify as a girl
cishet: you’re the most handsome boy i’ve ever seen??
gender non binary: no, actually, i’m non binary and my pronouns are they/them

Male/Female, the opposite of a Nonbinary Gender. Contrary to beliefs held by those lacking braincells, these are not the only genders.
