(different anon) Well, I think you do have to have a fairly rigid understanding of what it means to be a woman or a man in order to feel strongly that you aren't whichever one you were assigned at birth. It doesn't have to be a 1950s gender roles understanding, but I'm not sure how someone can know that they are fundamentally not a man or not a woman unless they believe that a man or a woman is fundamentally something that is incompatible with their experience of themselves.

That's very funny, because in my culture transgenderism is viewed as an extreme form of gender nonconformity. Because they're a proof that your body doens't define you. You can be biologically male and be a pretty princess, you can be biologically female and be a prince charming.

granted, there are a lot of trans and gq people who are gender essentialist and try to claim that they're biologically the opposite sex somehow or spit gross shit about fundamental differences between male and female mind, but it's hard to blame them, considering that they constantly get told to justify their gender identity using biological facts, rather than "I just always wanted to be a pretty princess and why the hell shouldn't I become one?".
