    Gender is almost unarguably entirely a social construct. Two seconds in a history book shows this to be true.

    It’s a learned framework. But with in that framework we have associated sex with gender so intrinsically that separating the two is near impossible outside of a science context. At least in a modern context. This can vary depending on the region and point in history.

    So with how linked they are you have skirts to female(gender) in that framework. If you want to identity as female (sex), then you will gravitate to the female gender(gender) clothing options. As a short hand. It’s not the only way but it is undeniable that it is one of the easiest.
