Are transgender people who conform to and adopt gender norms associated with the other sex [QT: same gender identity as themselves] gender conforming or gender non conforming?

I believe that although it's not 'natural' in the sense of being unalterable, it's natural in the sense that most people will feel comfortable/natural as the gender associated with their sex. There's many countries in which people are killed for being gay or transgender but that doesn't stop people living as gay or transgender so I dont think that laws simply discouraging gender non conformity will really have made an awful lot of difference, not that I agree with those types of laws existing though.

It's not a one size fits all, of course there will be instances where women are made to feel that way but that doesnt mean every feminine woman wants to subscribe to that particular aspect/idea of femininity. I'm masculine but that doesnt mean I subscribe to specifically asserting dominance over women simply because it's an aspect associated with masculinity.
