And yes, a transfer to the other box sounds right to me, generally speaking. A lot of people DO buy into the social constructs of masculinity and femininity.
I do. I subvert them, but I acknowlege them.
As a dyke, I identify as butch. In other words, as a more masculine, active, agressive, partner. I expect to relate to my femme in ways that might subvert the male/female paradigm but do honor it. Likewise, I'll fight for top position with another butch. As a man though, I could relax that need to be the aggressor, because I would no longer have to prove my manhood. My penis would be enough.
I am used to this landscape of dual genders-- and used to subverting them, too.
See, my missing penis doesn't care about "oppression." It want to bury itself in another body.
