[bnpvefai] Transsexualism and gender roles

Loosely connected to the question of whether public funding should be available to those who seek sex change is the idea that gender presentation is important, something I am unwilling to accept axiomatically, given gender presentation is related to gender roles.

On one hand, making gender reassignment more easily accessible helps perpetuate and reinforce the importance of socially constructed gender roles, roles which I believe are harmful.

On the other hand, at least some aspects of gender role and presentation regarding choosing mates are likely biologically hardcoded and not socially constructed.
