Do you believe there should be strict gender roles in daily settings? If so, why? And what are they?

Men can not take the role of pregnancy.
I do not believe in specific gender roles other than pregnancy. Men can not take the role of pregnancy. Women and men can adjust to all other roles.
Actually, trans men can and have become pregnant, given birth, and have breastfed their children.
I was specifically talking about the XY genetically sequenced human but you knew that.

I know you were attempting to simplify sex and gender. There are people with ambiguous genitalia, inter sexed people, and people with the XY chromosomal makeup who have female genitalia.
I think they should not be made invisible for any discussion that wishes to reduce sex and gender down to what's between the legs.
It is not possible to only have the XY chromosomal makeup and have female genitalia unless surgery is better than I am aware.
Hermaphrodites which have both XX and XY chromosomes are born with both male and female genitalia and can possibly have a child. They may identify as either male or female but genetically are both. I am unclear if the XXY genetic form of our species can have a child or not but I wouldn't be surprised.

Intersex is preferable to hermaphrodites as the latter term means something in the animal world that doesn't exist in the human biology.
Intersex people can be XX/XY or can be XXY, XXX, XYY, etc. They are not both "XX" and "XY" (X and Y are the two separate chromosomes, they pair up, usually, or trisomy occurs.) There may be some form of chimerism where people can have both XX and XY but I'm not familiar with it, and it wouldn't be the same as being intersexed that I can imagine. One of our more science-y people may be here.
Regardless, Mystic's point is not that non-XX people can give birth (XXX are typically sterile IIRC), it's that not all XX people are women. So that gender and sex are not synonymous with each other.
Now XY individuals who have androgen insensitivity can indeed have female genitalia although functionality is another matter. Also surgery is indeed a lot better than you think - MtF surgery is incredibly successful and based on a recent thread I was reading elsewhere, it is entirely possible to have vaginal intercourse with someone who has had constructive surgery and be completely unaware that that vagina is constructed. If you're referring to internal sexual organs then you're talking about something different than genitalia.
Tl;dr: Gender not sex was the main point of Mystic's reply to you and chromosomes work differently than you think.

And what should those be?Not strict, but little bit of gender roles makes sense to me.
