By gender borders, I refer to the line that's drawn between female & male, woman & man.
The line that causes doctors to feel an obligation to use surgery on a non-consenting intersex baby to make it conform to the sex on one side of the border or the other.

The line that means you don't put a baby boy in a pink outfit or give a young girl a beebee gun or a toy truck and such examples.

But also the line that means women should be put in their place- and stay there.
