How *exactly* do we make this distinction? Who decides the definition of gender roles? The women in this house go out to work and the men stay home with the kids and do almost all the cooking and cleaning. Depending upon the socio-political ideology of the observer the gender roles here may be being violated. But it isn't all that out of the "mainstream" to have a stay-at-home dad. So....cis or trans?
I have my own opinion, based on things that get said within the household but that isn't open and available to random observers.
Also, my father retired far earlier and younger than my mother did. She went out to work everyday and he stayed home. There were no kids and they have always had hired house cleaners. My dad can't cook to save his life and would NOT have been open to learning. Even in retirement, my mom brings in more money. Roles?
It's nice to try and define things but how do the definitions get set?
Custom dictates "standard" behaviour, of course. Customs developed for some reason in the past, that might not have ever been reasonable and certainly might not be reasonable now.
Jonathan was worried about you, because of a nightmare. Good to see you thinking.
