THE question?
If there is no true gender, then are we all just monkeys in dresses or suits?

This, I speculate, also applies to social gender roles which are differently realized in various cultures. So, yes, your dressed-up monkey metaphor is appropriate, but it is not directly connected with your prior statement that there is no true gender. Please define what you meant by the term "true gender".
Currently it seems to me that all genders are true within their respective environments - within the group that has invented and accepted them as being true.
...so if everybody is right, then they are also all wrong
With the help of modern medicine it is even possible to entirely change your sex. Changing your gender should be even more easier, if you wish to do so. Why you would wish to do so is another question entirely. Several reasons spring to my mind at the first glance - starting from simple boredom and ending with some deep childhood trauma. Be that as it may, it only requires your own consent and incentive... as well as the determination to face the disdain of your friends and the public in general, although this may vary depending on the country/region you are in.
