Gender is a social tool that has been used to group people or ourselves into categories based on characteristics related to sex. On some level, it has to be based on appearance because we don't usually know what genitals somebody has or their medical history.
Just having men and women is a too simple version of the tool. People are complicated and varied and for many reasons sometimes don't see themselves as belonging to either bucket or prefer other ones altogether.
Sure, but this is just the problem with brouth categories. Society still hasn't solved that issue. Over all we still only have the outlined ideas of men and women, as unfitting as they might be to some.
