性别通常被认为是依赖于性，即使偶尔有畸变。然而，对从女性到男性的跨性别者的采访表明，性和性特征可以被理解为性别的表达。性别的表达依赖于表演者作为男性或女性的行为和外表。当性特征与性别不一致时，行为对性别表达和解释变得更加重要。当性特征变得与性别更加一致时，行为变得更加流畅，在主张性别方面变得不那么重要。受访者还挑战了传统的性取向观念，减少了对伴侣性别的关注，而是更多地关注关系的性别组织。这种关系验证受访者的男子气概或男性气质的能力往往优先于伴侣的性别，这有助于解释女性变男性变性人和变性人转变为男性时性取向的变化。
Gender is commonly thought of as dependent on sex even though there are occasional aberrations. Interviews with female-to-male trans people, however, suggest that sex and sex characteristics can be understood as expressions of gender. The expression of gender relies on both behavior and the appearance of the performer as male or female. When sex characteristics do not align with gender, behavior becomes more important to gender expression and interpretation. When sex characteristics become more congruent with gender, behavior becomes more fluid and less important in asserting gender. Respondents also challenge traditional notions of sexual orientation by focusing less on the sex of the partner and more on the gender organization of the relationship. The relationship’s ability to validate the interviewee’s masculinity or maleness often takes precedence over the sex of the partner, helping to explain changing sexual orientation as female-to-male transsexual and transgendered people transition into men.
