Radical Feminism on Transgenderism

[obamanut2012]

3. Innate gender identity is not the same as societal norms or expectations

And, the latter do not cause, or drive, someone to "be" transgendered. Transgendered are folks whose gender id doesn't match up with their genitals. It's really that simple, and that difficult. Why? because those gender norms and expectations often cause TG folks to NOT live as their actual gender ID, but rather live as whatever gender their genitals id them as as per society. It has nothing to do with your post. "Tomboy" girls, regardless of sexual orientation, aren't forced or coaxed into "being transgendered." That's impossible.

To add: I rejected most "girly" things as a child and teen, and that didn't make me want to be male or even think I was male. I never felt felt wrong in my skin, just annoyed that I was expected to do things that I didn't want to do, or not allowed to do things I wanted to do. I always knew I was female. I happen to be gay, but I have straight female friends who were == and are -- more "tomboy" than I ever was or ever will be.
