I am familiar with the case. But I disagree to some degree. If gender were strictly biological, why then do transgender people dress like the opposite sex, often play with toys "meant" (term used extremely loosely here) for the opposite sex as children, etc?
If gender were a social construct, then it would be possible to modify it in young children. That supposition was used to justify surgery on David Reimer after a failed circumcision procedure as a baby. The cauterizer tool malfunctioned and his penis was quite literally burned to a crisp. It fell off a few days later.
A then-respected researcher, Dr. John Money, advised sex reconstruction to a female form and to raise him as a girl. Dr. Money insisted that gender was determined through social interaction and that the child would grow up normally, albeit sterile.
The experiment was a horrible failure. As an adolescent, the child insisted "she" was a boy. It was later that the parents actually related the full story to their child. "She" sought surgery to correct the mistake. Succes was very limited and he became depressed. Depression grew until it finally took his life at the age of 38.
Since that time, growing evidence is that gender is a result of brain wiring and structure, not social interaction. Therefore, it isn't a social construct, but a biological function of the brain.

He grew up a eunuch, and we're supposed to suggest that he was instead a girl rather then a boy because he didn't feel like a boy growing up?
Well no wonder he didn't feel like a guy, he had no manhood!
If anything it is just proof that it's all exactly as stated by the psychiatrist I quoted earlier: They are just unhappy, and the only difference between them and the unhappy is that it relates to a gender confusion utterly conceived by such.
It is a bonafide social construct, why do you think it wasn't until he was a teenager when everyone in high school are in relationships or having sex that he allegedly becomes 'confused'?

The color of this sentence is red.
Stephanie, that makes sense. Thanks for correcting me on that.

Actually, the Biblical authors spoke harshly about some things. Most of which you yourself commit. The Bible speaks quite harshly about working on the Sabbath and wearing mixed clothing. Yet, they go ignored.God spoke harshly about certain kinds of things.
In my case, it is because the clothes are more comfortable and i like the cut better. Some of the toys are more directed towards my interests.
To be stereotypical, many of the things from man land were just never interesting at all
I think his point is, we as society typically dictate that boys like blue, girls like pink. Boys play with trucks and play sports, girls play with dolls.
What part of biology dictates that boys should like blue over pink? Why is pink objectively a girl color? Why are trucks a boy toy, instead of dolls?
All of that is inherently a social construct.

Did you read her post? David was altered as a child to appear female because of an accident as a baby. He was raised as a female, was dressed as a female, etc. Despite all of that social conditioning, he knew he was a male
Gender is hardwired.
That is not evidence of an innate transgender.
The psychiatrist I brought up deduces that where gender is hardwired, and those like this boy are naturally convinced, transgenders approach it with confusion- they never just 'know', they have a feeling.
It's just homosexuality gone even more astray, that's all it is.
