Understanding transgender people, gender identity and gender expression

Yet again, I am aware of what the modern definition of gender has been expanded to include; that's why I specifically referenced the academics from which that modern definition was manipulated as a social tool.

You know I didn't spend tens of thousands of dollars on an anthropology degree for nothing, right? One that included two courses in human sexuality, studying wonderful cultural practices like the "enigmatic" Hijrah (sp?) of India, the "Two-Spirits" of the Plains, or the cum-eating religious rituals of certain Central-and-South African cultures...

I learned the stuff, it's interesting, but it's ultimately goofy and not based on the natural science but rather upon the social sciences; hence the reason it fell under my major (Anthropology, liberal arts) instead of biology. 

Are you aware that before political movements in the 90s, social movements in the 70s, and post-modern academic ideals in the 50s, the concept of "gender" as you are using it would likely not exist - particularly the former two?
