"Words are definitely a social construct..." -Whatever that means. No one is cis-male or cis-female on their birth certificate: merely male or female. The idea that someone is "cis" because its proponents claim we all have some other form of gender that might "align" with actual birth gender (or not) again confuses subjective with actual objective gender. Words in this case are thus used to pre-frame and preload load the debate with theoretical assumptions. Birth gender is an observable empirical fact. The other is about "feelings" and can be whatever your personal feelings or fantasies dictate. Thus the various claims made that there are three, or four, or seven or fifty six or seventy two genders... In fact there can be as many or as few as you like. Its like a form of astrology where you not only get to chose your own "star sign" but make one up to suit. Of course we all have elements or traits that might be seen as male female within us, but assigning a collective subjective "gender" to them is merely a whim or convenience: not a fact. Taking the notion to its ultimate conclusion there are as many different "genders" as there are humans on this earth. I find it therefore convenient to define each one as a "personality".
