What are your definitions of "man" and "woman?"
Mostly purely physiological - "man" is a human with a penis, "woman" is a human with a vagina.
Are there any specific gender roles that you think should be there? Are there any you wish did not exist?
Nowadays, the roles have pretty much evened out. Except for the childbirth. But that's not really a social role, that's physiological. If we're talking about social roles, and not, you know, jobs that only men/only women can do (which I think there are some), then really there should be none. And I think most of them have already disappeared in modern society, so I can't really think of any that should not exist.
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 am not sure society - at least not the society I live in today - really has any specific gender expectations anymore.
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?
Hm... never thought of them and never thought they're social situations/gender role-associated situations... but I do agree that a woman shouldn't walk around bare-chested, probably, and that while legs/arms/cleavage (moderate and tasteful, though!) can be pretty and acceptable in social situations (parties and dressy occasions), the same parts bared in men is not pretty. I think this is a social tradition that might change one day, but that it appeared out of practical/aesthetic reasons a long time ago, and I agree enough to not want it changed.
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 don't think it's seen as less, really, and that it has something to do with discrimination. I think this has a very deep, prehistoric, natural reason - in order to ensure your own survival/prosperity and that of your family, you had to have physical strength, first of all; brains, character - they were secondary. and males naturally had more strength. Thus embracing your male side makes you stronger and more likely to succeed, basically. And people are used to thinking that, without thinking twice (sorry if that sounds stupid), because they're thought that for millions of years. This kind of thought is not really conscious/intentional, and thus is not discrimination - because discrimination is (you say X can't/shouldn't do Y because you're convinced, and it's hard to convince you otherwise).
Is it important to make the world a more welcoming place for gender nonconforming people? If so, how can this be done?
I am not sure how this can be done, because I am not sure what gender nonconformity really is - that is, I really don't think it matters whether you call yourself male or female, and in modern society you can still get to do whatever you want no matter what you call yourself. Since I don't think there exists today a "proper" way to be a man or a woman, if I were a woman who wanted to wear men's clothes, for example, or do something that is generally expected of men (hard to think of an example, as I had said above), I'd have no problem doing that and still calling myself a she just because physiologically I am a woman. At least I think that wouldn't be a problem for me in this society.
Thank you so much!
