Men and women born transsexual become what they always have been. Hormones and surgeries allows them to make whole what was born apart. It's only the world and society that sometimes has trouble wrapping their minds around the variety of human sexuality.
Men and women of a transsexual history are who God intended us to be before sperm and ova and the human genotype went off message in our mother's wombs. Life is messy — as is gene expression.
We are who we are and stand before you as would any other woman or man, demanding no dispensations or special treatments and not expecting any government handouts. We work for our living. Sometimes as mothers, sometimes as nuclear scientists, sometimes as truck drivers. We are the men and women that the world doesn't see because our post-operative lives are little different from any other woman's or man's.
