>It’s always seemed very weird to me that the vast majority of people DO align with gender roles and DO enjoy the sexually dimorphic body they have, even though that body had a 50-50 chance of being the other sex

Prior to conception there is a 50/50 chance of being a man or a woman, but once a child enters development, being non-gender-conforming is very rare. I think people confuse the little arbitrary cultural details here (eg: girls like pink) for deeply-seated traits which are innate to gender. (eg: women have periods, and can carry children)
