How do you feel Male?

I don't get the concept, I brought it earlier in the thread and there were a few responses. But I do wonder if it isn't societies definition of Male and Female roles that people don't fit into and that creates a deep psychological feeling of being wrong.

It would be that Nature gives Men and Women a very wide range of acceptable behaviour but society defines one set of behaviours as male and the other as female. So right from the beginning you would feel excluded by society. So it isn't that you are born a man and should be a women it is that you don't meet societies expectations of being a man and therefore feel excluded. To me that makes more sense then such an abstract concept of gender identity which can't really be defined.
