>The existing ones were un-changable aspects about you that you can't control, and are born into.

That's not how westerners feel about gender any more.

What are you talking about? Trans people? As far as I know, most trans people, including me, feel that they were born trans, or at least couldn't have chosen not to be trans. When someone transitions, they're not choosing to change their gender—they're changing their appearance to match the gender they already felt they were.

Its funny because gender isn't on that list :) Sex is on that list. And these westerners you think of will tell you sex and gender is different.
