I totally 100% do NOT agree... I have lived with animals and small childrem through my entire life.. gender expression has a basis in brain function balanced with hormonal effect.
Gender Roles, are learned - social constructs, which vary according to the culture of our up bringing.
male and female are not the only genders -
someone who is Neutrois or Androgynous could very well fit the discriptions presented in those quotes. As could someone who is gender fluid.
My gender is not / was not -- a choice.
