What are your definitions of "man" and "woman?"
A man is a person who identifies with the male sex. A women is a person who Identifies with the female.
Are there any specific gender roles that you think should be there? Are there any you wish did not exist?
I think Gender roles a redundant. Who has the right to judge us and tell us what to do based on our gender. At this day in age the are plenty of families who have only one parent, and that partent has to adopt both gender roles sometimes, I think gender roles shouldn't exist all together. Its just another limitation that society has made.
Do you conform to the society's gender expectations? Is there anything you do that is not usually associated with your gender? If you do conform, is it more because society expects you to or because you identify with the expectations?
I do confront society's expectations on gender roles. Me being a man people think it is wrong fo me to wear makeup, but i do it anyway. I do the thing I do that push that boundary because that who I am. I am not trying to be over the top, Im just trying to be me. Thats who I am.
A lot of the time when it's socially acceptable for a man to expose his chest, a woman has to cover hers. Yet when it is socially acceptable for a woman to show her legs, arms, and cleavage (think dresses), the same is not acceptable for a man. What are your thoughts about these two situations?
I think if one gender can do something why cant the other. If a woman wants to show her chest is that wrong, not to me. If a guy wants to wear a dress then let him. If its not hurting anyone why is it anyones else's business.
In many cases, women and girls are encouraged to embrace their masculine side, while feminine men and boys are looked down upon by society. What do you think about this? Why do you think femininity is seen as less than masculinity? How does this relate to discrimination in the workplace?
I think is a shame that society does this. Why Is being feminine a bad thing. Think about single fathers. If they dont embrace some form of femininity then the child they a raising wont get the same care as a child with both parents. We need more men to not be afraid of their femininity and embrace it if we ever want to break the chains of gender roles. It also effects the environment in the work place. A man could lose his job for wearing a dress, or even something as little as eye liner. Its very one sided and thoughtless.
Is it important to make the world a more welcoming place for gender nonconforming people? If so, how can this be done?
It is important for the world to make it a place more welcoming for gender non-conforming people. We need to Embrace individuality, not frown upon it. If we all were the same and stuck to the same rules the world would be boring. Besides that people who feel confined and restricted by gender roles could encounter depression due to not truly being able to be who they are. We can change this by not being afraid to break gender roles, and being ourselves. We need to embrace change if we ever hope to get rid of gender roles.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
When we are first coming into existence in our mothers womb, our gender isn't defined until later in the pregnancy. Until that point gender roles aren't relevant, and thats how I think it should be. It like The Story of X by Lois Gould. Man or Woman, we shouldn't let gender roles restrict us. Be you be true is the endless message I spread every day, to everyone, including my fans. I hope to have people feel how I feel when I finally freed myself of society's expectations. Endless power, Love, and just over all bliss. Its a feeling you cant describe. So free your self and love you for you.
