It is quite plausible . . . that I did not understand your definitions and distinctions. Gender usually has to do with roles. Sexual identity normally grows out of sexual organs and hormones. Certainly there's some overlap.

To be fair, you are asking for black and white in a world of grey.
In gender behaviors there are no absolutes, just propensities and statistical norms. Interpret those however you will, I think we all know what is meant when Darth Prime says he is "feminine".

Oh My Girl! the complete ultimate shade of it all!
AQuestion
i can comprehend where you are coming from, indeed how would one truly define what we are talking about, but females and males do differ in mannerism, the way they walk, their movements etc, and that was not 'taught' it's natural, it's what i natural do, feminine to generalize i guess one would say
And GENDER IDENTITY influences a LOT how one see's one's self as MALE or not. Typically, in most cultures, men are providers and protectors a bit more than women to a lot more than women. Men do not tend to think or verbalize near as much about RELATIONSHIPS as women. Men do not tend to think or verbalize near as much about EMOTIONS as women. Men tend to be more concrete problem solvers--in a one focus at a time fashion vs in a female multi-tasking fashion.

of course, i like the makeup, and the outfits, and the shoes, and the eleganza of it all, but i am not doing it to 'pick up guys' nor am i to be deceitful, Drag has some harsh stigma's around it, it's not even as acceptable to some other Gay men
what is femininity?are you saying that all men and women act the same?

Dear Darth_Prime,
I know it is not acceptable to other gay men, did you miss the part where I preach to gay men? I said I did not think you were trying to fool others, I get it. I preach to gay men. Do you understand that and that I am straight? Where did I promote a harsh stigma about dressing up for a show? Let me agree and disagree with you at the same time, I am tricky, trust me. Should you be allowed to come into our church dressed up like you were going to a drag show, would it be okay for me to ask you to leave costumes at home? Now, the flip side. If someone is truly a full time transvestite that wants to fool other men into thinking they are women, should I let them in the church to try and trick people? There are straight people like me in the church, it is not all gay.
I am attempting to have a completely open conversation with you so that others can understand the range of views. Gay does not mean transgender and straight does not mean macho. Read everyone of my posts for the past two days and please try and understand where I am coming from.

Be aware, creating chaos while elites grab the power is
a Marxism tactic.
