Gosh - did I miss all the early fun on this one
I'm a guy - and I CD. I don't tire of being who I am. I do sometimes tire of the pressures of life, and those pressures generally apply to the male and female roles in unequal measures, for different reasons, and at different times of life.
I like fixing cars (Guy+) but I live in the UK and hate soccer (Guy-). I like the art of makeup (Girl+ Guy-) but I still look like a guy in a dress (Girl-). I like ballet, opera, literature, art, baking (?) - I don't like team sports, pub crawls... I could go on... what I think I'm trying to say, in answer to the OP, is that none of us totally fit one stereotypical image. We're all different, and perhaps those unequal pressures weigh more heavily on some than others. To me, it's easy to understand how someone who also has to cope with the complexities of real gender issues can feel overly burdened by the pressure of societal or familial expectations.
Does that answer the question? I feel better for saying it anyhow...? :D
Now I must go back to my baking...
