Gender roles are being outgrown

Transsexuality and things that are similar to it are actual, real things, which are helping gender roles to become obsolete in society. Yes, a person may be "biologically" one sex, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee their gender identification. While it is a little bit of a sore subject for some, I feel as though leaving it there would do it no help. It is a very important issue and very disturbing in many people’s lives as it serves as an obstacle in majority of the people’s lives. There are transsexuals, transvestites, and many other classifications to consider. Simply saying "he is a man" or "she is a woman" because of physical biology gets to a point where it is closed minded and disrespectful to a person's sense of self. Because of these different means of classifications, the "gender roles" and their importance are fading out. Many of these people have simply outgrown these roles, and are helping society as a whole to accomplish this as well. I think the idea of gender roles just holds people back and places everyone into a box. Children are put into certain clothes and pushed toward certain colors and toys based on their gender, adults are expected to do certain things based on their gender, and it makes no sense. We live in a new world where there should be nothing scandalous about a little girl who likes playing with toy cars or a boy who wants to be a nurse. Women are able to be the money makers and men stay at home parents, and we should not allow gender roles to constrict us. The reason that men believe that they have to be providers is due to the fact that they were raised to believe that there are many factors that support that such as family life and media messages, and same go to women they are taught that they are weak. The world needs a reality check men and women are both capable of doing the same things.
