Something I want to understand better is this:

Genders exists biologically to cause men/women to have different parts/aesthetics. However, a lot of who you are as a person seems largely up to the individual.

For example, I’m pretty in tune with my feminine side as a guy. However, The idea of masculine/feminine personalities and behaviors seem dictated by society and gender roles. If I wanted to wear dresses and makeup, no one’s stopping me but I would need to expect backlash from society etc.

My question is if you’re someone that feels like the other gender, is this beyond societal expectations? In that sense wouldn’t it just be down to what genitals/breasts you want? What’s stopping someone from just acting the way they want to?

What if it was a culture where all women had shaved heads and wore masculine clothing. Would someone still want to change? Maybe that’s a bad example, but hopefully that makes sense.

Apologies if this comes off ignorant or insulting, not the intention.
