I'm no expert so don't mistake this for truth (and I'm sure this is an abhorrent over simplification), but I've heard it better described as gender being a biological thing with gender roles being the social construct.

I don't know that the difference really matters in practice anyway, I honestly didn't care much for the way the person who claimed this thought everyone was causing harm by saying gender is a social construct.
