You're taking the pictures too literally. It's not the guns or the makeup, per se. But yes, guns are a masculine interest. Boys, on average, are more interested in stuff like machinery and whatnot. That's why men are more likely to become engineers, for example. But your second point is correct, I think. It's isolation and the feeling of being alone, which then erupts in acts of violence. However, which group do you think is more accepted? You yourself have made posts recently about being isolated and banned from places for being trans.

You could say the top is *more likely* to live a *normal* life, but the point is that everyone should have that same capability without having to conform to strict standards of society that they don't like, because if they do it just leads to more internal unhappiness that can manifest in the same way or in different ways that are far from the desired outcome.

I think our disconnect lies in the fact that you're talking from a standpoint of an idealized society, while I have a more gritty view. Is it right or commendable that those people get treated poorly and bullied? No. While I find your position admirable, I also find it equally naive. Unfortunately.

Well, let's look at history. Remember when video games were for "nerds" and "geeks" and people got the living shit beat out of them because they played pac-man after school? Now, everyone talks about call of duty and xbox and it's a normalized thing in society. Everyone's a gamer now in some way, angry birds or farmville, etc. Society has a proven track record of evolving toward the correct position, it's just a matter of getting people to understand the worldviews that people initially perceive as "different". An idealized society would be a lot different than just suggesting that queer kids shouldn't get bullied and tortured, but that's another topic for another time.
