Some non-trans people wonder if transgender and transsexual people want to do away with or change the concept of gender as it is recognized by mainstream U.S. culture.

You will often hear trans people speak of the "binary gender system" — the two-gendered system under which our society is structured — and the strict limits that this system imposes on gender identity and expression.
