Thanks for your input :) Clothing styles change, games change (in detail, rarely in form of course) codes of behaviour change of course – but not a single bit of any of that leads to the idea that the fundemental differences in gender are also social constructions.

How can you compare this to the David/Brenda-case as a similar case rather than an example of just how much damage gender-stamping can cause to a child. If they raised David/Brenda as in your referring article instead of applying made up "codes of behaviour" David/Brende would most likely end up less confused, and realize that the step between man and women is not that wide as people want it to be. "She was raised as a female, with girls’ clothes, games and codes of behaviour." Girls' clothes, games and codes of behaviour is indeed a social construction. It changes from year to year. It does not look the same today as it did only 30 years ago, or 200 years, 2000 years. How would you explain that with hormones and genetically differenses? What an amazingly incompetent blog post.
