They’re not saying it isn’t real, just that it being made up doesn’t matter.

I'm on the same page as you but understand this reply because this thread is full of people who think social construct = made up, frivolous thing that isn't important.

The made up part is true, the rest of that isn't. Many things are made up, but their impact on people is indeed very real.

The important part, and I think what the OP seeks to illuminate, is that it matters, but it's not some law of nature that simply must be. It's social, and thus can be redefined.
