The problem is that it is not normally pragmatic. It's not pragmatic for a woman in the workforce to be associated with feminine characteristics whether she displays them or not. It's not pragmatic for a more feminine boy to be told by his parents that he needs to act more masculine. A lot of these things are purely social constructs.
No one is arguing that sex isn't a thing, or that you don't need a male and female to create life. No one is even saying that your biological sex has zero bearing on your gender identity. The point I am making is that categorization based on a binary spectrum of gender is not pragmatic and is not scientific.
