Ever since humans developed culture, man/woman has always been as much a social concept as a biological one. Men & women developed different in-group cultures, adopted different clothings & hairstyles & were socialized into different behavior patterns. That's why we have gender.
I've always believed that the #genderbinary is a cross-cultural, ahistorical phenomenon. Homo sapiens are a sexually dimorphic species after all. There are considerable in-group variation and cross-group overlapping, however, so exceptions may apply.
Some feminists believe that before #patriarchy, there was #matriarchy, but there's no evidence for that. Yes, there were matrilineal societies, but that's far different from matriarchy, and why do they think matriarchy is desirable while patriarchy is evil?
Let's take a logical approach to sex and gender...
There are two sexes (Male and Female)
There are three genders (Masculine, Feminine and Neuter)
That gives a total of six different combinations...

A Male who is Masculine is a stereotypical 'gender conforming' man.
A Male who is Feminine could self-identify as a transwoman or just as an effeminate man.
A Male who is Neuter could express themselves in an androgynous way, or be agender, non-binary or #genderfree

More proof that I’m #genderfree - none of these “11 Cisgender Privileges You Didn't Know You Had” apply to me. THREAD. pride.com/lgbt/2016/3/21…
“1 - Bathroom Safety”. No. As a woman I’m safe in single sex loos, and those at my workplace and the changing room at my old gym are all now “all genders”. (I’ve complained that this is exclusionary as I don’t have a gender - watch this space.) #genderfree
“2. Cis ppl don’t have to choose between feeling invisible or being othered.” As a petite woman, the wrong side of 40, often with children in tow, I am unfortunately also invisible. #genderfree
