When you transition from one gender role to another, you do more than just swap bodies and sometimes genitalia.  You are also picking up all the cultural and societal expectations and baggage associated with that gender role as well.  Race and class also enter into this mix as well in terms of the differing reactions we have in terms of transition for white male to female transwomen and male to female transwomen of color.
