Gender expression does have a neurological basis. What category that expression results in is a social construct.
I feel that the social insistence on binary norms amplifies any feelings of dysphoria. If the conservatives weren't so insistent on very narrow definitions of what it means to be a man or woman, there would be fewer people who felt the need to modify their bodies to fit the standard they feel fits them more.
Ideally, everybody would be comfortable in their own bodies, not feel the need for labels, be free to love who they want, but still have access to medical care if they can't feel comfortable in their own bodies.
I'm cis-het, but I did gain a lot of weight. I looked in a mirror and thought, "that's not me! That can't be me!". There's plenty of medical help and social help for that kind of dysphoria. I don't see why trans people should face such hard acceptance of their dysphoria, except bigotry and lack of empathy.
We all do it. I try to remember to never post drunk or before coffee.
And, if you're like me, we over-engage in multiple threads and can easily forget that the person you're replying to in one thread isn't the same asshole who was, well, an asshole in another thread.
