I don't know what is the difference between considering someone as a man or a woman. It all feels the same to me.
For the easily offended, I know this is full of stereotypes, because I'm explaining how a typical person would view gender.
If you consider someone a man, you refer to him by male gender pronouns, for a start. You'd expect him to be attracted to women and predominantly socialize with other men. If you didn't know that he was a man from like, people referring to him as such, then you might gain that knowledge from observing his physical appearance - short hair, facial hair, unstyled eyebrows, being sat with legs spread apart instead of crossed over, Adam's apple, etc etc. Gender has a huge impact on social interaction. Seeing no difference between male and female is either the radical, well-intended but wrong (imo) political ideology of a NT or in AS, socially stifling.
When the men and women in the photos take on not just the other’s clothing, but also their postures, we can see how certain ways of holding or displaying our bodies are gendered — that we perceive them as feminine or masculine, and see them more often from one or the other gender.
