That's your intellectual conclusion, but the fact that you chose it as an informative example should inform you as to what gender roles exist ion your own subconscious.
Similarly, it;s the intellectual conclusion that gender roles are arbitrary - and the ethical conclusion pursunat to that is that a person should be able to conform to whatever gender role they choose, and that we have a compulsion to afford the the dignity of treating them as they wish to be.
It's really easy. I have a trans buddy. I use a feminine descriptor. Ta-da, done. It doesn't actually matter that I have trouble understanding why she's uncomfortable in her skin, or wants to be referred to as female. It doesn;t matter what sexual or gender issue she's dealing with. It doesn;t matter that -I- think that sexual or gender stereotpyes are nonsnsense......it's not -about- what -I- think.
I make it a habit to use feminine terms of endearment, even - because why the fuck not. It;s no sweat off my sack and means the world to her. She wants to be the belle of the ball. I can do that.
I'd introduce her to my baby brother as a girl and see if it stuck, lol.
(it totally would, he secretly wants the peen)
