Gender seems to at least be as real as anything else to some extent, that’s why gender dysphoria exists and people report not being able to change it. Large parts of it are socially constructed though. We’re not really 100% sure about it at the moment.
I’m no expert so don’t mistake this for truth (and I’m sure this is an abhorrent over simplification), but I’ve heard it better described as gender being a biological thing with gender roles being the social construct.
I don’t know that the difference really matters in practice anyway, I honestly didn’t care much for the way the person who claimed this thought everyone was causing harm by saying gender is a social construct.
