Gender is a social construct and describes a certain way we choose to act and dress etc.
So it's pretty much impossible to be wrong about your gender if you are honest about your ambitions. The only way I could see someone being "wrong" about their gender is if someone says they are a certain gender but deliberately chooses to act in accordance with another. But even then, the line is blurry, so it would be stupid to police, what "true" gender expression is supposed to be.
Aren't you simply saying we can't be wrong about social constructs? Does that make them meaningless?
I guess gender is pretty much meaningless in my opinion. It probably should be abolished.
But also, it's fine if people care about their own gender.
It's not that big of a deal as people make it out to be.
