I suggest the public curiosity for the process is both good and healthy, otherwise, it just leads to speculation like, 'He had them cut off', or 'Its a guy in a dress'.
I'm reminded of the early 60s when one of the first major, (in the UK at least), femlae pop stars who were open about their sexuality. She was called Lulu. She was hetrosexual. She came across as rather working class, not refined at all and would act and sing, to portray the shocking and somewhat disturbing claim that women, she in particular, had a personal interest in, dare I say it, sex.
One of her songs was called I'm a tiger, which included the raunchy, to put it mildly, lines:
But you'll never tame this child, she loves running wild.
You won't cage me in, just stick around, see the fun begin

Around the same era, homosexuals were generally assumed to be young men who couldn't cut it with women and were obscessed with bottoms, any bottom, any animal, just bottoms.
Though, for my own part, I hope this becomes an information excercise leading to the tolerance and respect of women that we see today, rather than the stupid and pathetic ritual associated with many gay people, especially gay men, of, 'Comming Out'.
