You're not really born with a gender, though. You can always assume a different gender, it's switching actual sex that's the difficult part.

Sex and gender are two different things, people need to stop using the terms interchangeably.

I think OP just meant they wished they'd been assigned a different gender when they were born.

You're not really born with a gender, though. You can always assume a different gender,

Also, I don't... really agree with this? Your gender identity is what it is. One may have been born in a body that doesn't match their gender identity, but they can't just change that identity and make themselves identify with their body if they don't, you know?

Unless you just meant you can change your presentation to alter how society reads you, in which case, yeah.

I always wonder when people say this: Which parts of the brain are gender assigned, exactly? I mean, which effects of the "brain chemistry" do all women have in common, for example?

Sex and gender are two different things, people need to stop using the terms interchangeably.

It's not necessarily that easy to know the difference between the two, though; for the longest time, I didn't, because in my native language we only have one word covering both terms.
I'm not saying that's a common reason for people using them interchangeably, though, but I know it made it hard for me to understand the difference between the two things, at least.
