I agree with the environmental constructs to a point, but I'd venture to guess that on a masculine-feminine scale using percentages, the average woman is about 90% feminine, 10% masculine, with the average man being about 90% masculine, 10% feminine.

I doubt very seriously that there are virtually any men that would be less than about 65% masculine or women that would be less than about 65% feminine.
For a gay guy i'm pretty masculine.. I'd say 85% on normal days but whenever i get emotional i'd say 75%. Like when i'm at work and i get stressed or mad about something and start complaining people just look at me kinda funny and smile - kinda funny..

And what of the women who excel in typically "male" fields or men that excel "female" fields...what about the people in the middle who are just okay at both male and female areas and don't do either one better than the other?

The lines are naturally blurred...by saying bluring gender lines is not a good idea you're asking people to NOT be themselves...thus you won't get their best quality work. Society IMO would be better if we quit associating people with their genders and have people do what they are good at regardless what gender they are. The best people for each job...period.

I don't have the right to tell you what you are. the doctor made it perfectly clean on your birth certificate.

If you dont have the right to tell her, why are you telling her? If the doctor already told her, you don't have too.

You make no sense.

Let people live how they want to live. You live how you want, let others live how they want. Easy as that. Really. I promise.

My birth certificate lists my sex...not my gender.

no matter how hard a woman might try to be a man, she's still a woman. if you get surgery, you are a mutant. it's simple. I want to be a lemur, but I will never be one. there are plenty of trans-species people out there, and they just look foolish.
