Ewww.  I am so glad I'm not single and dating now - how can you tell if you're interested in a man - who really is a woman?  I'd kind of like to know that up front.

Okay, I'm really confused by all of this (to say the least).  But if the person doesn't have the sex changing surgery, isn't that person just playing a really extreme dress up game?    If so then why all the applause for Bruce's "courage".  Why the change in pronouns?   

BTW, I can't help but wonder how Caitlyn feels when it's time for Bruce's screening for prostate cancer.

Any wonder why the suicide rates among "trannies" are so high?

I'm LOL!  I just did a quick Google search on this and I'm more confused than ever!   

It would appear the definitive science behind the Transgender/Transsexual condition is still transitioning.

Transgender is all based on identity choice (if this is a mental condition is above my pay grade).
Transsexual is a medical condition such as Benjamin’s syndrome or a mixed gonadal dysgenesis or parthenogenetic condition where they have both XX and XY genes (hermaphroditism).   There is also the rare condition called androgen insensitivity syndrome where someone born a woman, by all appearances and parts is a women, but actually is genetically a male (and vice versa).
