[b]What do you mean by conforming to gender norms for men in terms of demeanor and relationships? In this day and age, what are the gender norms for men in terms of demeanor and relationships? What are the gender norms for women in terms of demeanor and relationships?[/b][/quote]

Not the PP, but I’d think gender norms are what [i]passable[/i] transgender people live as and exhibit.

Again, I ask what are those norms? I understand wanting to wear the clothing of the opposite sex, cutting your hair short if you are trans male...I'm not understanding the gender norms in terms of demeanor/relationships. What male demeanor gender norms can't women in the time also exhibit? Same with relationships?[/quote]

Even clothing norms are difficult to define. I see trans women wearing tight dresses, high heels, make up, long hair etc. I am a heterosexual married female with kids, and it has to be a wedding or royal gala before I'll get out of jeans and a t-shirt to wear heels or make-up. Am I failing to live up to female gender norms?[/quote]
