Some people don't fit into the binary sex or gender boxes most people like to put everyone into because it fits their idea of sex and gender norms. These people don't fit because while many don't have an internal conflict with their birth sex and their gender roles, they like to express themselves as the other sex or gender.
These people fit a variety of labels, some they identify with and some others put on them for their personal reason whether they fit or the person wants or likes it, and often it's a disparaging label, meant to either ridicule or demean them.
But there are some people who may appear to fit into that group of people who fit in between there is one big distinction which is often lost by others, and that's the fact that these people would rather be the other sex and gender and express the birth sex as a choice than as a life.
This means those born male would rather be women when and where they can present themselves as men or not, or just live in the clothes because it's convenient or the clothes are comfortable to wear on some occasions.
And that's what's lost in the difference because people assume they are just one of those who are men or women and like on occasion to be the other sex or gender because it fits their idea of them than trying to understand and accept some people don't fit their binary boxes.
Some people defy the norms of others, who in turn forget their norms aren't everyone's norm, and there are some people who would themselves not as the other sex but in the body of the other sex to feel whole as a person and themselves.
Some people, but then we're all just people, some in our own ways different than everyone else, lest we forget and be called out for the ways we don't fit into other people's binary boxes. Some people are really all people, all the same in the fact we're all different in some ways.
