Gender is primarily a social category. So not having it recognized in society substantially diminishes it. .

Again, I don't think gender is necessarily a societal silo or a prison that we're stuck in (based on what we are and also how society sees us) at least not necessarily any more than sexual orientation, race, or any number of other characteristics.
Especially not in today's society.
I do wonder where the current gender fluidity and redefinition push will lead us, and have to admit I am not sure that place is necessarily going to be one with fewer gender-related barriers.
