Transgendered people aren't snubbing sex stereotypes; they're reinforcing them.  You're in a woman's body but you don't feel like a woman?  You don't want to wear make-up, high heels, and a dress?  You're not into gossip and giggles?  You'd rather play football and fix the car?  So do it.  You don't need to get a male body.  



You're in a male body but you'd really like to wear lavender chiffon and spend the day baking cupcakes and arranging flowers?  So do it.

I posted this on the strength of the comment section for the article. Please click through; it's where the good stuff is.

The comments section is quite intriguing; the original article itself is total rubbish obviously.

Yep. It's odd when such an awful article brings out high-caliber discussion.

It's the courage to not jump off a cliff, when everyone is telling you to. 
If the author feels that way, why didn't they just keep their opinion to themselves.
