Those are good points, Miranda.

I have a hard time believing, though, that a cis person would want to change genders because it's 'cool'. Gender fluid, maybe.

Financial costs are high if you don't catch it before puberty. If society was more accepting of transgender people, however, it might not be as necessary to 'pass' as one's true gender. Of course, there's that 'wrong body' dysphoria thing. I can't imagine a more desirable male body than was Bruce Jenner's. If it wasn't as important for people to see you as one gender or the other, would the outside really matter anymore?

The outside is JUST the shell! It's the car that YOU drive around in and, as it's YOURS, ONLY YOU should have the right to do what YOU want to do with it!!
I've probably said here before that I don't understand at all what all the interest is in having someone poke holes into your face and other body parts and replace the divots with tiny barbells and other bits of metal or wood, or having loads of ink shoved into your skin, and I don't think it's pretty at all, but I'll certainly defend their rights to do it!!
