> I'm sorry but how is that not also self expression?
Rachel Levine (a trans woman) dresses how she does for the same reason I (a cis man) do. Both our brains have a notion of our own sex, and we conform to society’s gender norms consistent with that internal understanding. It’s completely different than people who dress the way they do, or get tattoos or nose rings to make a statement, set themselves apart as individuals, or thumb their nose at society and it’s rules.

Not at all. You characterized my position as “incel” above, because the people having all the kids mostly share my viewpoint. It’s the dominant view in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, etc. Liberal Americans are the most pathologically individualistic people in the world.
Dressing yourself is a fundamental aspect of self expression. You completely ignore the question and just talk about gender and sex instead.

No, I categorized your position as being espoused by incels. Which is true. I don't care what you are.

Well, we are talking about American culture here so I'm not sure what you think your point serves.
