Both. Just like race. Its subject to change based on changing concepts, but are regardless of which version of the social construct is used, race and gender are generally based vaguely on immutable things.
Not sure I can help with that question. I just know the answer isn’t disingenuously adapting the language of equality to attack those oppressed by the system of race by acting like “black lives matters” is bad. Likewise, using “gender abolition” as an excuse to be a TERF by getting mad at trans people for fitting any stereotypes of their gender (while ignoring cis people doing the same thing) or telling trans people they’re delusional. Even if long-term we want to eliminate race and gender, it doesn’t mean we can ignore the relatively short-term impacts they’ve had historically and continue to have.
