Enough- yes exactly so.
Thing with all this is that it's never afaik been studied across a large number of general people.
The concept of internal gender id can only have come (?) from those who do have a strong internal sense of it, and that it is different to... Sex? Personality? Not sure. I think never really defined or properly explained. Another thing where- there's no one way to experience or describe it.... So stop asking and do what you're told.
The people that initially coined the concept, would have felt it themselves or working with those who did. I mean that's an educated guess but still.
Fine ok for them yes they feel it. Sex dysphoria/ deep discomfort with imposed sex role (gender in the old meaning) ok.
The PROBLEM, and a big step.
Was the claim, the assertion that pretty much everyone has this feeling, and that it's v strongly felt, a key part of humans basic understanding of themselves, who they are essentially.
No one knows if that's true. Times in MN it's been asked chat and massive threads loads posters. Maybe one or two would say yes. Hundreds others no I'm female that's fact. What does feeling like a woman feel like? I just am one.
Most said the times they 'felt like a woman' were when others had brought it to their attention. By sexism, catcalling, various other behaviour.
The wide acceptance that you me everyone has this deep strong feeling is bizarre.
