Yes, it shows that we support individuality and that our minds are not controlled by standards that originate from our mere genitals and steroid hormones.

@HannibalAteMeOut Yeah I never understood gender roles and find it naturally hard to grasp them. I've always been my own person

@IstillmissEP dear, just because these words are unknown to you doesn't mean that I do drugs

@HannibalAteMeOut Ive never washed dishes or worn dresses or girly clothes in my life. My style has always been androgynous and didn't realize dat until I was 20 😂

@Mugin16 I have been edging more into the girly stuff as I grow older tho 🤔

@SW-User you could be non binary, but it depends how you identify. Do you identify as a woman or not?

@SW-User Interesting. Maybe you will wear a Dress when you are 30 or so. lol ;-)

@basilfawlty89 When talking about gender (as opposed to sex), it's really as question of whether one identifies as masculine or feminine.

@Sharon ah, see I'm not that clued up about proper terms, but I'm learning. Most trans friends I have would say they identify as a man or a women, or non binary.

@basilfawlty89 Transgender is simply where a person's gender expression (masculine/feminine) doesn't match the one assigned to their sex (male/female). It's complicated by the fact that gender is a social construct and the definitions of masculine and feminine vary with time and culture.
