You are conflating gender with sex
>Sex is mechanical
Male species use sperm to impregnate female eggs
>Gender is a social construct
What do you consider "Manly" or "Feminine"?
I really dislike that 99% of all conversations would end if people just phrased it like this. Since a lot of trans people just want to be treated as a member of the opposite gender.
"Age" is also very much a construct since I could use different calendars and have different birthdays to mark my age.
But your cells definitely have a limited lifespan which is what most people care about when they talk about age.
