I sort of understand part of this. I always thought it was quite nonsense to raise girls and boys so differently, and to separate them so much in society. I thought your own wishes what you want to be should not be stopped because of your gender. I still have that opinion.

Being sort of transgendered myself, I started to see a conflict here. If I really didn't feel like the body I was born into, does that make my idea of men and women being equal void? It could seem so.

I solved it by thinking gender identity has nothing to do with gender roles (unless you chose to go into a role or happen to be more girly or manly). What gender I feel I am, does not state there is the kind of a difference between men and women to claim men are fit for one thing and women another. It is just what you know you are. Without anything attached to it.

I do think being transgendered actually means you have a sort of different brain. Something up there must tell you what kind you are.
