It should be the only thing i have to say. For some reason you completely ignore solid tried and true evidence in favor of imaginary answers that you try to make up yourself
It's like you're saying "i refuse to educate myself unless that education is in my favor"

hormonal being: natural testosterone/estrogen production, can also be altered with HRTs.
societal (for example) being: a female bodybuilder, or a transgender male or male with a high pitched voice. though these definitions/examples of societal masculinity/femininity can vary from culture to culture.

WHO and ICD aren't some all-knowing arbiters of truth lol stop it
That being said though, there are many cultures where there are things men do that would be considered feminine and women masculine to us, and vice versa for our culture to theirs. So while there are very clear distinct differences between men and women (with many exceptions and a lot in between, obviously), culture definitely plays a large role in how people behave; it'd be naïve to think otherwise.

They are probably the most credible source of social science and medical information. They get payed by the UN to deal with global health issues and epidemics, as well as study sociology and its effects on people. What else should I be citing?
WHO doesn't define how cultures see certain genders, it simply states the fact that cultures see genders differently than each other. It's an objective truth because there are several articles that have been published that show the way gender roles are viewed by different communities around the world, and all these articles have shown that they view gender differently.
