No. Gender is brain chemistry, and/or whatever other biological processes create it. If you're born male, but claim to be a woman, even though that doesn't jibe with what actually makes you whatever gender you are, then you're delusional. If a transgender male-to-female's brain/body/whatever chemistry are actually out of whack with how they were born, then yeah, they are female (at least according to modern scientific understanding).
Gender isn't a claim, it is a scientific fact, and facts can't just be declared however you want them to be.

And I'm pretty sure you have my points confused. The OP was about gender roles, but my later posts were about sex. I'm all about not conforming to gender roles, if that's your disposition.
