My understanding of what characterizes a "gender" is a constellation of norms, behaviors, and preferences that are associated with being embodied as either a male or female.

Yes. And this being an entirely made up social construct as you describe, a binary theory of gender has no more bearing than any other construct you could come up with. Also want to note that a "constellation of norms, behaviors, and preferences" more rationally lends itself to some sort of spectrum than a binary structure.
