It is surprising the number of people who have made just one post ever on this site and that one post was to this thread.
You may be right, I_A_N_M, that it is only when one's body and gender identification don't match that one fixates on being a gender. But I have to say I don't ever recall thinking about being masculine. In fact I remember thinking, since I'm male, whatever I do will be 'masculine'. So I wonder if transgender children ever have that thought? In other words, why not take oneself as the measure of what it is to be feminine or masculine?
