I want to understand tho. Like, yeah I don't need to, to not be an asshole; but I still want to understand everything I don't. I'm curious like that.

Also, because gender is a social construct, it requires that enough people understand it to a sufficient degree.

As opposed to French, which famously exists as a natural truth of the universe. Even if we had never discovered French it would still be there... waiting.
