I disagree with pretty much everything behind social construct theories. I think they are a red herring.
However, I only disagree with some gender essentialism. Like psychology in general, I think they went too far in trying to put a label on everything. The human essence is universal, meaning men and women are two sides of the same coin. So it doesn't matter how many differences one can spot.
Psychologies mass labeling is why people are now shunning labels. So I see this debate being about behavior, not identification. As a result, people are missing a fundamental part of human nature. Simply put, it's about not wanting to be controlled. Some people can't be tamed or fit into the role. More importantly, that shouldn't be an odd thing.
