You're discounting a lot of things, such as, oh, I dunno...gender norms.

Oh yeah, sure, gender norms are only real insofar as we make them real. But a damn lot of people make them real, and a damn lot of people follow them. If one's interests don't align with those norms, then s/he's going to have trouble getting along with people of her/his gender.

Or the other main gender, says this lesbian.

If one's interests don't align with those norms, then s/he's going to have trouble getting along with people of her/his gender. people who believe in gender norms.

Fixed that for ya.

Gender norms aren't as "norm" as everyone seems to think. They're what's presented as a norm. "People of your gender" do not automatically ascribe to those norms. Even the ones who are into girly pink stuff and kids can surprise you.

It's really nice that you apparently haven't been routinely questioned or had assumptions made about you due to gender norms, but others of us have. They are absolutely pretty "norm" in a lot of communities/societies. It's kind of why we have to spend so much time and energy questioning and deconstructing them.

But I guess men don't actually get flack for acting too "feminine," and women don't actually get flack for acting too "masculine," and the right hasn't been throwing temper tantrums for the past few years over people stepping out of their "natural" roles. We must be imagining it all.

This is all true but your previous statement that you are "going to have trouble getting along with your gender" is weird because there are tons of people who do buck gender roles, as well as people who fit them but recognize that not everyone else feels the same.
