who the F cares? And to refute your shortsighted comments. There are two aspects to transgenderism, the body and the mind.
- The mind happens to be a product of the brain, which is part of the body. If the brain identifies itself more with that of the other sex, then we're talking about a sexual identity - no matter what the issue is between the legs. It IS a reality.
- The body has gonades, but those do not determine the sexual identity nor does it determine the sexual orientation.
That said, a transgender person is neither 100% a male or a woman, they are transgender woman or transgender male. When you approach transgender people with respect (as you should any other person), I doubt there is any one who would ignore the fact that they have been born in a different body. It's this whole hype of people not wanting to accept the reality of transgender humans that invite extreme responses as well, and before you know it you have a culturewar where people failed to understand eachother's side, mainly because of fueled hate.
Don't be such a disrespecting person. Same goes for your idea of "real man". How about being a real respectful decent human being? Which you clearly have problems with achieving. You have work to do.
