My driver's license says female. If it's good enough for them, it should be good enough for you. I’ve more estrogen and less testosterone in my blood then genetic women.



Perhaps, but your DNA is strictly male, is it not? And if you go to a hospital emergency room you tell them you're male but will a lot of prescriptions, right? (so they don't do the wrong treatment)

I'm not sure from what perspective it makes sense to objectively switch gender designations (with current medical technology), other than the person in question simply wishes it were so. In the future it might be possible to make real changes at all levels in the body, but lipstick and hormones are just a minor part of it as far as biology goes.

I really don't care, as long as no new demands are placed on me as a result: I don't want Yet Another List of Words That Cannot Be Spoken, nor do I want to keep track of Yet Another List of Politically Correct References to Sensitive Groups. It's hard enough keeping track of whether "Negro", "Black" or "African American" is the term to use this week, much less educating myself on such things as "Nappy-Headed" (a term I had never heard until the Imus incident, and might easily have used had I seen it once and gotten the definition & context wrong).
