JD, why is the gender of the chimps and bonobos important (stress on what gender dominates or does so-and-so) but unimportant / a construct, in humans?
And then again, I would tend to agree with you, but then why is it important to be called a woman when "being a woman" is just a social construct. Why can't you be a biological male and fulfil any social role you wish without contradicting biological evidences of what gender you were born in?
How can gender be so important based on how pointless it is? I'm always confused at this argument.
(PS; don't overread between the lines, if it's all black or white I am more of a libtard like you than a white cisgender male conservative redneck - I'm legit asking)

Two male or female bonobos will have sex with each other. This is basically unheard of with chimps. Patriarchal societies lend themselves to homophobia. So I'm not sure how much more important gender (by which you seem to mean which sex organs your born with) is with apes than humans.
We are more intelligent than bonobos. Probably not to the degree we think -- but it still seems obvious. This will make all our social behavior more correspondingly complex. We can even use our brains to initiate biological change; hormone therapy or the way we use weightlifting systematically to trigger natural change are examples. I guess what I'm getting at, is humans probably do a better job of socially/functionally "fitting-in" with females (for example), when they are born with male sex organs but want to be female.
We do have born sexual anatomy differences (that are non-binary btw) -- that overwhelmingly come out as male or female. We used to call that gender now we don't. It's a semantic issue.
