"The idea of objective metrics for social categories falls apart under the slightest scrutiny" This is definitely false, even from the most socially progressive perspective. That some categories are not perfectly defined, that we don't always agree, that some are 'self-defined', and that definitions can overlap - does not mean that those objective definitions do not exist. This "There is no Black or White because there are Infinite Shades of Grey" is not reasoning, it's just postmodern rabbit-hole rhetoric. Whoever you are, you categorize all day, every day. Literally when you walk out the door you are making concrete, objective assertions about all sorts of categories, including, and especially gender. You're a living breathing counter-example to your own argument. I understand perfectly well the current Western ideology around 'Gender and Sex' so you can save the ad hominem. Gender is so deeply and broadly rooted in human culture across cultures and time, that it almost doesn't matter how we want to argue about in 2021 in North America, because time will prevail and leave these arguments in the dust. People will generally accept Katlyn Jenner and frankly, accept her moderate views on Transgenderism, but people will never accept the opposite of gender essentialism i.e. 'Gender is a Pure Construct' without overwhelming thought programming. Those fighting for the 'Gender Is a Construct Absolutism' are like Violent Angry Puritans trying to stop people from consuming alcohol, a few battles may be won here and there, and they may be able to keep people in their cult with a lot of constant programming, but the war will definitely be lost eventually. That said, we may be in for a pretty nutty ride for a couple of decades as the Justice System rolls over itself trying to cope.
