I can't understand what all the fuss is. I mean, when I see a woman, of course, I might tend to think of her in sexual terms. She's got what I want. (You can take that either way!!) But, I also look at a woman as just another human being, another PERSON, she just happens to have one of those vagina things between her legs. She's JUST ANOTHER PERSON!! Get it? If she decides she wants to change her body to fit what she wants it to be/look like, especially if it's going to make her happy and feel whole/better, why should ANYBODY stop her? Sure, I know her hubby might, if not for sexual reasons alone. But, doesn't everybody that loves her want her to be happy?? WHY would ANYONE want to STOP that from happening, no matter WHAT it takes (barring things like killing or hurting someone)? And if a guy wants to grow tits and trade his dick in for a vagina, why should ANYONE stop him, as long as it's going to make him happy?? It's HIS/HER business, it's HIS/HER body, not ANYBODY else's!
If I bought a Porsche, but felt better with it looking like a Volkswagen, that's up to ME and ME ALONE to have that done!! It's MY car, just like this is MY body!!

Yes, Missed, you are so right -- in theory. In practice, however, it's a different kettle of fish. People are conditioned to behave and think in ways that societies seem to favor. It's astounding how deeply that programming goes, and how resistant people are to consider other ways.

Trans people maybe the last grossly marginalized minority. Time will fix that, I believe. Remember when the movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was a controversial?

In the mean time, we have to educate people one by one. Even those that love us.
