This claim is widely supported in social sciences and humanities. Gender is understood as a social construct, meaning its roles, expectations, and expressions are shaped by culture, history, and society—not solely by biology. This distinction is recognized by major institutions like the American Psychological Association and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
