I think a lot of trans people confuse those two as well. So often I've heard people say shit like "I always felt wrong wearing women's clothes" when they're just fucking clothes, and they don't mean shit about your gender. The only reason anyone cares about that kind of thing is because they're brought up to. There's nothing inherently female about wearing a dress, or having long hair, or wearing makeup/nail polish etc.

With all gender issues, there seems to be a huge focus on how society perceives you, which should really be completely irrelevant. Even that "If you were alone on a desert island, would you still want to transition?" test is pretty bullshit because you're thinking about it as someone who's been influenced by society's stereotypes and prejudices about gender for years.

I dunno, it just feels like everyone thinks about these things the wrong way, but then I'm not sure what the right way is either.

Oh riiight! Surely if trans and other gender variant people just ignore society's attitudes about gender, that will magically stop all discrimination against them. How silly of them not to realize.

I don't understand this comment.

I'm pretty sure you completely misinterpreted my comment there, anon.

Disregarding how much you didn't get that comment you replied to: I actually think that yes, especially a lot of those people who keep whining about being non binary/genderfluid/demi-something are actually the ones too obsessed with the whole "gender" idea and if they stopped to think about it for a minute, they'd understand that it's not society that makes a huge deal out of gender, it's themselves.
