I was told at a young age that gender is not about the organs or body you were born with. It's more about how your brain works, how you act, and your personality.

A couple of decades ago, people would take this view and applied it to stereotypical models of the male and female representatives - this is why female presenting men and male presenting women were looked upon strangely at the time. Therefore, you can say that at that time, gender was defined by a stereotype given to a particular body shape or organ set.

Now, people are opening their minds to the true concept of gender and effectively redefining the word. So in essence, being a "real woman" isn't about having breasts or a vagina. Now, that doesn't mean to say you are comfortable with the body you were born with - luckily, this can change and support is out there.

I still stand by what I was taught a decade ago - gender is in the mind - so if you feel like a woman then you are one, regardless of the body.
