That makes no sense. I can't even follow your logic well enough to tell you how and where you're wrong, it makes so little sense.

DA, but, I can see that. "LOL OMG u GAIZ I DON'T LIKE WEARING DRESSES SO I CAN'T IDENTIFY AS FEMALE LOLOL" isn't the same as actually thinking you're a different gender.

I understand what they're saying, I just think they've taken it too far.

There are people who think that they aren't male or that they aren't female simply because they don't fit into the social box. For example, I've always been something of a "tomboy," and according to some people out there, that means that I'm not actually female. But, see, I am female. I feel like a woman. I identify as a woman. I just don't like the things that I'm "supposed" to like. It's definitely a form of essentialism to hew so closely to social norms and roles that you see anyone who falls outside of them as belonging to a different gender.

That said, OP is wrong in the sense that some people don't necessarily feel they're in the wrong body, but they don't identify with the gender categories that are available, even when norms and roles are accounted for.

It made sense to me.
