What does this have to do with trans? You just admitted that a man taking on a stereotypically female gender role is still a man, just being unstereotypical. So...how does this tally with transgender people claiming taking on stereotypical female roles ARE actually female?

I wasn't talking about trans. I was talking about how gender roles aren't really socially constructed, but are biology driven.

Basically, while some sex stereotypes may have a little basis in biology (many don't...and the ones usually mentioned when trans people talk are clothing and hairdo and toys they played with...which have NO basis in biolgy and are entirely socially constructed), they are still just stereotypes and are definitely not true of everyone of whichever sex. And not being stereotypical of your sex, does not make you the opposite sex.

Depends on the toys. Playing with dolls can be reflective of caring/maternal instincts, for example.
