this is far beyond gender.
Males are styled to be boring, girls to be pretty.
the fact that a man can get married, work, and buried in the same suit is depressing as fuck.
men need to feel pretty too.
But at least we get pockets.

ok, how about we share pocket tech with women in exchange for wing tip eye makeup?

Why are we redefining someone else's gender for them instead of redefining what it means to be a man? Normalize make up and 'girl clothes' for men. Normalize looking pretty for men. Regardless if someone declares themselves trans or cis, believe them.
The only person who can tell a person what their gender is is that person themselves. Even if it's obvious to everyone around them, it's not one's job to dictate to another something that personal.

Karl Stefanovic told Fairfax News Media in Australia that he donned the same blue Burberry knockoff day in and day out on Channel Nine's "Today" program to illustrate the double standard dealt against his female colleagues, who are regularly criticized for their fashion choices.

They used to refer to this ideology as "Metrosexual - Gay in the streets, straight in the sheets."

That’s what people in 2004 told you metrosexual was. That’s not what it actually is

exactly.
I'd like to wear makeup without being accused of being gay (i am gay but not because I like makeup)
I'd like to wear dresses without being accused of being drag (I'm not even sure what that means)
I'd like to be pretty without being called weak (i can bench press your mother)
people should be allowed to be who they are.

"still cis tho" is used a lot in trans places as a joke for trans people in denial, which i think is what this is poking at
Fair, I admit I am not hanging out in those places that often. Kids these days and their language, man. Get off my lawn!

That's what bothers ma a bit about "being trans". Why is it considered as having the wrong biological sex and not just disrupting the gender stereotypes?

Or we could just abolish all these gender stereotypes and acknowledge everyone has one biological sex (except rare genetic variants) but it doesn't matter and no one has to know which genitals you have in everyday life.

You know that's not going to happen tho, right? People aren't going to just forget all the centuries upon centuries of reinforcement of these roles and expectations. All you can ask is that we be kind to one another.

No, but your question reminds me of how before puberty, I wanted to play video games as a male character (girls had cooties) but after puberty I often prefer to play as a female character. I still play RPGs as a male (I suppose it helps me get in character, plus romance subplots feel weird otherwise) but in other games I usually choose female characters because they're prettier (not necessarily in a sexual way). I liked paying Guild Wars because many of the women's outfits were just gorgeous. One character class went into battle wearing my choice of fancy dress. That was fun.
(The Guild Wars graphics look a lot worse than I remembered. They seemed really good back then.)
That's interesting, why do you think in video games you want to play a pretty character that can wear gorgeous outfits?

It's because gender presentation is only one component of it, and the other is biochemistry.
Trans people experience dysphoria partly because their bodies do not produce the amount of sex hormones (progestogens we, androgens, and estrogens) at a ratio that matches what their brain needs. It's like putting gas into a diesel engine. Their brain expects their body to develop in a certain way, and it does not.

Are you talking the difference between something like cross dressing and being trans? I'll dive into it as I've had this on my mind recently.
My understanding is the main focus of being trans is the change in gender identity. Biological sex doesn't really come into it, it's all about social roles, expectations etc. A man can wear woman's clothing and still be a man after all.
I can't really speak for people's experiences when it comes to them not physically matching their views on their gender. It's a deeply individual thing I imagine. Physical changes, hormones etc are not required to be trans, though they can be a part of it.
The point that caught me for a bit was my views on gender equality. I was of the opinion that gender/sex stereotypes shouldn't really define people, but that clashed with the idea that people sometimes desire the stereotypes that go along with gender.
It's a tricky thing to want both true equality but also respect differences in gender, because in some ways they aren't always compatible. But we aren't the result of our ideals so much as we are the result of our upbringings, and gender is a large part of our identity. It's baked into us, girls want pretty dresses, boys want power tools, and you will be treated different based on what you present as, regardless of how bullshit that might be.
The way I see it, it's only fair to say fuck it, you can be whichever gender you want. I still think stereotypes are something we should move away from ultimately, but that's a long road that I'll never live to see the end of, and if someone can be happier today, I don't see why that's a problem.

Yes, we are pack mules.
