Something being a widely accepted truth doesn't necessitate it being a fact. Personally I tend to go with the consensus of experts that study these topics their entire lives rather than crowd sourcing. Likely goes with my profession, but I value expertise highly in fields which I am not well versed. 

Do you? Or do you just go with the consensus of the experts that allign more with your own beliefs? Because actual experts(not some random person who wrote a book and has a degree in some BS human behaviour science) the vast majority of actual doctors and scientists believe that your chromosomes dictade your gender.

I don't know how it is in US, but in Brazil the overwhelmingly majority of doctors and biologists agrees sex and gender are different things, one being physical and the other being more psychological. That's why they, as community, support gender reassignment and surgery to change secondary sexual characteristics like adding/removing breasts 

The argument is pretty simple, just because something in social doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's like race. There is 0 biological and genetic evidence humans have subraces, but people still think we have different races because of things like skin color or the format of the eyes, and those believes create the concept of race because in practice people will treat races as a real thing
