How much do you know about reification as it applies to the field of sociology? It might be something worth looking into.

  I don’t think your genetic makeup is an abstraction.

    I'm not following your reasoning. It appears to be disjointed. Please explain

      Reification is the false assumption of using something abstract to make an objective classification. My point is in this case the underlying is not abstract, it’s as objective as it gets (your genetic makeup is a fact).

        Things that are grounded can be reified. That's often the case. Grounding gender in chromosomes doesn't mean that gender isn't being reified.
