Having read most of this thread and having made my decision 12 years ago about my genital rearrangement, my comment on the whole subject is:
WHO CARES WHAT YOU DO?
Some of us wish to have our bodies congruent with our minds. Others can't or don't see the need to.
WHO CARES?
Arguing about what is a very personal decision that belongs to one person does not change that person's decision; so why bother?
WHO CARES?
The right wingers and religious fundies care. They will use any form of internal dissent to discredit us and to label us as crazies.
So lets lighten up, shall we?
