A contradiction in the liberal view of gender

RE: A contradiction in the liberal view of gender

I'm trying to help you understand, flat out, that "that position" is not the one to which your are objecting.

I'm talking about a position that believes gender roles are entirely invalid. Regardless of whether or not you think that this was implied in my OP, do you think this view is entirely reconcilable with the view that we should support people changing from one gender to another? Or does that seem more like a compromise between one's ideals and the constraints of society?
