But this is the part I don't get. How does a person "feel" like "a" boy or "a" girl? When the way girls feel is all over the map, and the same is true of boys?
What I'm getting at, awkwardly, is that
So how would a boy come to the conclusion that he feels like a girl? "A" girl? What girl? Mrs Don-o at 5? Mrs Don-o at 15? Yaelle at 9? Willa Cather at 19? Aphrodite? Ma Kettle?
I don't think there IS a "girl feeling". I think a boy who thinks he has "girl feelings," actually has his own feelings (by definition, "boy feelings") but has been told they are girlish.
Your thoughts?

***What I’m getting at, awkwardly, is that
there is not “a” girl way to feel, or “a” boy way to feel,
the ranges of feelings are, I suppose, very substantially overlapping
how people feel may change with age, mood, or circumstances, and
how we feel is so largely incommunicable, anyhow.***
You may think it awkward, and possibly it is, but I think that your 4 points are spot on.

THIS^^^^^
There is a pop-culture trend of asserting that males and females are so different that they actually have no feelings, interests, or tastes in common.
You expressed my thoughts better than I did in a previous post. There is just something wrong with the way people, without knowing what thoughts are like within another, whether they are normal or not, will support surgery for something that needs mental counseling. It is such a complex problem to just be shoveled into a political organization run by fanatic homosexuals....the Gender police....
