These societal pressures are applied to everyone, not just people who choose an opposite gender from the one they're assigned at birth. I brought up trans people because it's easy to see how those pressures affect us, not because we're the only people expected to conform to gender roles. I mean, gaudior knows better than I do, but I expect that social forces have pushed her to do things she didn't want to and be things she didn't want to because of her gender.
