Anonymous Gender roles and gender identity are completely separate. Identifying as a woman does not mean that you have to like pink and wearing dresses. Identifying as a woman/man means that your brain tells you that you are female/male, regardless of what your actual sex is. Someone who identifies as a woman can spend all of their day hunting and drinking beer and they're STILL A WOMAN. Saying that identifying as a woman means you have to follow stereotypical gender roles is incredibly misogynistic.

Gender is a societal construct so how the heck could gender transform into brain cells whispering what your sex is.

Your brain gets its information from the rest of the body through various signals, such as the state of your sex. Not some magical little gender cells flipping a coin to see which sex you ~really~ are. The only reason you know what eye colour you have is because you’ve seen it in a mirror and hence visual signals told your brain you got x colour of the eyes. No weird “eye identity cells” told you.

Sometimes those signals can get messed up in some way, see: Colour blindness, phantom limb syndrome etc. But if someone has phantom limb syndrome, feeling like they either got an extra arm or that their missing arm is still there, and their brain is 110% certain this is true does not actually make it true. If transexualism is caused by distorted signals or societal factors or both is still not fully understood.

Sex is not an identity either. You have no sex identity, just as you have no eye identity, spleen identity, hair identity, blood identity or whatever.

Your body also doesn’t give a shit about what you decide to ~identify~ as.
