What are your definitions of "man" and "woman?"
I think my definitions of men and woman are anyone that possesses the feeling that they are female or that they are male. idk I guess it's up to how that person feels about themselves
Are there any specific gender roles that you think should be there? Are there any you wish did not exist?
I wish women didn't have to be seen all the time as having to be quiet and obedient and just do things for the opposite gender and even though everyone says no one actually follows those gender roles we all know there's a part of everyone who actually believes that women are meant to be like that
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?
yes I conform to most typical female gender roles, I conform to them because that's what I identify with. I don't feel pressured to be feminine, I have always just felt that way.
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 people are just wimps are they get scared when people don't conform all the time and really it's no ones business if a man dresses like a woman or a woman dresses like a man.  it's their own choice and no one should think they have the right to judge people on how they dress.
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?
well women have bed discrimintaed as not being equal to men for long time so them embracing their masculine side is maybe showing they are equal to men, but I think if women can access their masculine side, men can access their feminine side. it's only fair
Is it important to make the world a more welcoming place for gender nonconforming people? If so, how can this be done?
yes. we need to understand that not everyone has to conform to gender roles. everyone is different and there is simply no way you can expect the 6 billion people on this planet to identify with the same morals and vales. that being said, nonconformists and conformists need to find an even standpoint where they can both live comfortably with each other and discriminating each other is no way to do this.
