Gender reassignment shouldn't be taken lightly

The topic of the transgender community can be very confusing to many. After all, it is difficult for people to understand concepts that they have no experience with, especially when those concepts bombard well-established norms such as gender.

But for the transgender community, confusion isn't so much of an issue. It can be as simple as knowing your hair color or taste in food. It's an intrinsic awareness that the vessel doesn't correspond with the passenger. To put it plainly, the body doesn't match the gender.
