Or you are a person who's close to transgender people and aware of the issue and you don't feel comfortable calling yourself simply "male", as though you are the real kind of male and your friends are not? It's a way of creating equality through language: "I became male this way and you became male that way, and we are both male". Incidentally, isn't it interesting how conversation on trans and gay issues always seem to center on men? I think that our gender performance standards are higher for men, and we have a lot more anxiety about men who transgress than women.
