No, it's just that you shouldn't be forced to be a certain way simply for being male or female. That's in many cases being forced to pretend you're something you're not, and do things you hate. And it really seems to me that the vast majority of this burden falls on males, and males also get the negative roles too while females get the positive ones. It makes sense that nearly every supporter of rigid gender roles I know of is a woman, even though they are sexist. Because contrary to popular belief I think sexism is far worse against men than women.

I'm literally trans.

You obvious don't know very many men.

Whether someone is trans is irrelevant.

The irony is lost on you.

No? I don't follow identity politics. Being for gender roles and okay with transgender don't seem mutually exclusive to me.

That's literally the point of being trans.

If being trans is all about gender roles then it's not even valid. There are actual biological differences between the sexes, it's not all made-up by society (even though they do exaggerate them). There's no natural gendered reason why you would want to wear certain clothes for example, we invented clothes and assigned them to the sexes. That's a lot different from not liking how your body is. And your brain.

Strawman. A lot of trans people don't want SRS

It's not just SRS. Being male overhauls (and arguably ruins) every single piece of your body. It also changes your brain and how you think and feel and see and perceive, and what your natural abilities are. That's the big one.
