But then, I think gender stereotypes and social expectations shape the the way all men function.
I'd imagine that in this particular circumstance, without testosterone, being accepted as a man would be far more difficult for the author - because the physical changes wouldn't have occurred.
- stavrianos 16y agoI have the belief, largely anecdotal, that transgendered people tend to adhere to stereotyped gender roles rather more than people in general.
- Psyonic 16y agoJust me speculating here, but it makes sense to me that it would be that way. Men who are born men don't really worry about being "convincing," as they've never doubted it. They may worry about appearing homesexual, but that's still different than worrying about appearing female.
- lwhi 16y agoThat could be so, but then - perhaps short men adhere to stereotyped gender roles more than people in general too? I think adherence to these rules relates to the way people counter perceived feeling of inadequacy.
