Does anyone in thus thread feel like they are the right gender?
Do you catergorize how you think or respond to situations as male or female. As i read that account of the father thinking they were disconnected from their life I was suprised how much he identified a male way of thinking and a female way of thinking and a male way of being percieved by society and a female way of being percieved by society.
That level of thinking about the concept of gender doesnt enter my thought process. For me at least in my thought process there is no such thing as gender beyond the external traits. This is what makes it so difficult to understand the concept.
They should however not be discriminated against and should be free to live their lives as they choose to, though in the case of gender based athletic competitions i would think they should not be allowed to participate as the male becoming a female would leas to possible unfair advantages
