It’s not nearly so cut-and-dried (hormones, mastectomies, breast implants, just for starters,) and there’s no reason why it should be, outside of protecting certain sensibilities…not unlike the way most people thought about gay couples holding hands in public not long ago. Being transgendered is extremely tough, and it behooves intelligent people to try and see things from their perspective.
