Who is trying to "negate" anything???? I am SO fucking sick of people misunderstanding social constructs. Literally EVERY TIME it's mentioned, someone assumes that a thing being a social construct means we should erase it. That's NOT what we're saying. We're saying it can be changed. It's honestly a really trite point, duh laws can change, but whatever. It's still a social construct and it's frustrating seeing people argue that it's not. People need to learn the shit you're complaining about before you complain about it.

I'm sorry this comment is far more rude than my previous one but I just woke up and haven't drank my patience juice yet

That's because that's EXACTLY how you make it sound.
