ootball, and doesn't like dolls and girly things, then…*shrug*. So what? If you grow out of it after puberty, fine. If you don't grow out of it after puberty, fine. Maybe you're lesbian, maybe you're not. Whatever. You'll find your own path.
The new way: if you're a girl who likes cars and playing football, and doesn't like dolls and girly things, then…this means that you're a boy. That's because real girls don't like cars and playing football, and do like dolls and girly things. So you need to transition. First the puberty blockers, then the hormone replacement, and then, very likely, the surgical mutilation. You'll be sterile, your sex life will be problematic at best, and you'll require constant medical attention for the rest of your (shortened) life.
It's not hard to see which side here is governed by "societal expectations" and gender stereotypes.
