gender issues are quite amorphous.
there are plenty of people to whom their gender is an inbred part of themselves. This is evident in the people who, though physically and gentically male or female, "feel" in their heads, ussually since a very young age, that their physical gender does not equate with their philosophical gender.
in those cases it is ussually cultural/societal pressures that act, and have acted, to keep these people in their respective physical gender, causing much mental trauma.
Many female feminists have strong reactions from women who deeply feel that they are nurturers/mothers first. these women has just as much right to be the typical "woman" as femenists have to ignore or challenge the typical "woman" role. Can there ever be a consensus between them?
