It’s important to separate the misconceptions here from what transgender people actually experience and believe. Being transgender isn’t about “worshiping stereotypes” or “thinking you were born wrong because of your hobbies.” In fact, many trans people—just like cis people—reject rigid gender roles entirely. A trans woman who likes sports or a trans man who enjoys makeup isn’t contradicting their identity; they’re just expressing themselves.
The concept of gender identity isn’t based on superficial traits like hair length or clothing. It’s about a deep, persistent sense of oneself as male, female, or another gender—something people often describe as being present from early childhood, regardless of their interests or appearance. This isn’t something “taught” to someone because they liked dolls or kickball; it’s something they know about themselves, often despite stereotypes.
As for the history, one individual’s wrongdoings or flawed theories don’t invalidate the modern medical and psychological consensus. Current understanding of gender identity is based on decades of research, clinical experience, and the lived experiences of millions—not on a single person’s mistakes. Major medical organizations worldwide recognize that affirming someone’s gender identity can significantly improve their mental health and reduce risks like depression or suicide.
Finally, the “more free world” you describe—where people aren’t judged for hobbies, fashion, or personality—would still need to make room for transgender people. In that world, trans people wouldn’t be changing themselves to fit stereotypes; they’d still be living as their true gender, just without social pressure to “prove” it. Being trans isn’t about choosing to conform—it’s about aligning body and identity in a way that makes life livable and authentic.
