Ok so apologies as maybe I'm completely ignorant when I say this but I've always wondered why people decide "I'm a man/woman."
Now let's say there's a woman, who likes to dress like a man, speak like a man, take part in activites that are generally associated with males, now this person then decides "I am a man." and that person is now trans and goes through a transition to the other gender.
But aren't they just changing their gender because society tells them they are acting like a man not a woman? Shouldn't they just be comfortable with who they are? A woman who likes things that aren't typically associated with females, that doesn't make them a man.
Or is there another overriding factor other than societal norms that come into play when someone decides they are male not female or vice versa. Otherwise to me it just seems like changing because of societal pressures rather than being your "true self" as your true self is no doubt what you are born as?
