People try to equal the two but I believe they are fundamentally different. I notice because when I used to tell people Im changin phsyically into a man, they respond with answers like," Ok and next youre gonna wanna be white too." And such. Plus, goin on a tangent, race and gender have different expectations. People are aware of steorytypes, but dont necessarily believe one should act as thier racial steorytype. However for gender, maybe its cause where I live, people expect that if youre a man, then you better damn well act as one and vice versa. But race its different, if youre black, they wouldnt expect you must sag and listen to whatever rap, or if youre white you gotta be into rock. Some people do, but its much less strict than sex.
Race is just an amount of melatin, I m aware theres a culture along with it, but it seems more like a choice, or what youre into. You choose how to dress, what to listen to, ect. But with sex, I think its more complicated than that, and the expectations placed on it are greater. Most people I ve met were always their gender first, then their race. Some didnt care about race at all, but were so passionate when it comes to gender. Maybe its has somethin to do with sexuality bein so god damn important, and that it ties into gender...but still.
Point is they are treatin the entire idea of bein in the wrong body phyiscally of gender the same as wrong body for race. But could someone feel as though they were bornin into the wrong race? Or is it cause the restraints of race arent so harsh as gender that one might feel there would be no need to try and change their race so to speak.
