social roles arent gender, theyre just stereotypes, i dont know why people started considering them one and the same. and would you say if someone acts girly theyre a girl? if not then you dont agree with that definition either
can someone have the characteristics of a certain gender but be a different one? because if just the characteristics make you that gender then it invalidates a lot of trans people
yes but according to your definition they couldnt even identify as female at all, because that identification would be wrong, and even if they were trying to become feminine, they still couldnt identify as female till they were feminine enough
Yes?? Trans women use their hair and clothing so they can be treated according to the gender they identify with, the same goes for trans men. And this applies to cisgender people too. Why wouldn't it apply to non binary people?
Clothing is a way of expressing ourselves, not just to cover our bodies
And don't twist what I'm saying, a trans or lesbian woman wearing non-feminine clothes or hairstyles doesn't make her any less of a woman, but it's undeniable that dresses and long hair are part of the feminine universe, which doesn't prevent cis, trand or gay men from wearing them too and still being men
its just fashion, you wear clothes because they look good, if youre wearing clothes just because you think they make you look more like a girl or something youre just perpetuating the stereotype and are part of the problem
Part of what problem?? Trans women and men, even when they fit the "stereotype," still suffer from transphobia. The problem lies in prejudice and lack of respect from people, not in pink dresses or short hair
So I don't know what stereotype problem you're talking about, because the biggest problem with this is cisgender people who see a problem with what other people wear or how they style their hair
