There is a lot more to gender than just what body parts one's has.
 
Think about women that you know about, who are not trans, but are considered more masculine than the average woman; Or vice versa, think about men that you know, who are not trans, who are more feminine than the average man. Its a sliding scale.

@tapeworm The problem with Liberals is they confuse tolerance with acceptance.

@VonsterPeo :
 
And conservatives don't practice either one.

@skutfarcus You crack me up. Meanwhile, I'm looking at all that tolerance on college campi.
 
Go find your safe space.

Ok, so if someone tells you they're a chicken, are you going to respect that? What if a white person says they're black? Will you respect that? What if a guy living in a box down by the river says he's your mother? Are you going to be stubborn, hateful, and close-minded, or are you going to give your "mother" a hug?

@cjsummers :
 
I'm probably going to think they're crazy. If on the other hand an extremely large portion of the population starts thinking they're chickens (or whatever), then I might start thinking I'm crazy. That's a pretty extreme example, though, and I think there is a discernible difference.
 
If it bothers you that much, why not seek out a transgender community where you can ask questions face to face?

Yes, but your disagreement seems to be based upon ignorance, rather than a thoughtful information of facts about how gender is visually assigned at birth but its not completely formed in humans, both biologically and psychologically, until a few years later.
 
There are measurable differences in the biological body chemistry and brain development between transpeople and cispeople.

You choose to not accept the definitions. They are pretty well established so....
