When someone says they identify with being a male but they're female that's not an abstract concept they want to fit into it's one of two defined categories. The differences in those categories are defined by our chemical makeup and the organs we posses in our bodies. Gender roles and societies view on a certain gender is separate from this.
I do have to wonder at times if we're missing the big picture while doing gender swaps. I personally don't know anybody that experienced anything like that but the ones I witness on the internet and TV seem to want to fit a cookie cutter mold of what a man or a woman is "supposed" to be. If they are female switching to male they have a shaved head, workout and sport a "Tapout" t-shirt. If it's a male to female they want to look pretty and feminine and both sides look like they are over-compensating while missing the point society has been preaching for years that it doesn't matter what gender you are you can be whatever you want to be. So is gender really the issue or is putting off a persona/lifestyle the issue? Is it any different then a cross-dressing man who likes to feel pretty and dolled up? Being pretty doesn't define what it means to be a woman just like being strong doesn't define a man or is that all wrong?
In some cultures this is considered fortunate, not unfortunate. In some cultures it is even considered to make you divine or closer to god/the gods.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
