Of course you can... You can be born a male but feel like you're a girl, and therefore act and dress like one. I don't see anything wrong about that.

The key thing here is "feel like". I can feel like I'm a goddamned fish but that doesn't make the concept of species irrelevant.

Men and women are social-psychological roles that are arbitrarily defined and enforced ruthlessly by people too ignorant to know better. Male and female, sex, is what you're thinking about, which has absolutely nothing to do with gender.

That's probably the most unscientific and lame thing I've ever heard.
How the hell can you think gender is pointless when there are clear psychological and physical differences between males and females? Are you some new-age pretentious fool who sees Pollock paintings as revelations and guides to the path of humanity?

Male and female were used to describe penises and vaginas, my good friend.

Whether you 'see' yourself as a male or female is just because you are limited by your views on sexes. Determining you as a woman while having male genitals is - in my book - utter bollocks. You're a person with male genitals, male or female doesn't apply on how you view yourself.

But if you say I'm a female in a male body, then you're limiting yourself by using those social roles you seem to hate.

No, they're not. You're simply deranged and detaches from reality. Women and men are distinct things here. Address my post instead of continuing to post your nonsense.

I agree. I don't like gender, hence I don't use it. Other people, if they would prefer to be referred to as a man or a woman, I will use the words they want me to. Everyone is a person to me, though.

No. Gender is not sex. You're thinking of biological sex, not gender. Completely different things.
