It's not OK, yet, for someone apparently born male to grow into womanhood, or for someone who started life considered female to make it clear he's a man. As for the rest of us, we are still, far more than we understand, herded unnecessarily by our sex—by the stereotypes associated with how a woman or a man should act.
