Yep! Like gender. It may be a social construct but obviously that social construct is very important.

The only reason I can think of to remind people that something is a social construct is to help them remember change is possible and entirely within our control as a society.

Your last sentence is 100% the point. None of the consequences or limitations or expectations created by our legal system are founded on some fundamental, unchangeable, thing. They're all just what we've agreed on, and we can change that agreement
