>:( Surgeons don't "turn" men into women or vice versa. They simply reconstruct the genitals of the patient to match his or her own gender identity.

I think I agree. At least more people seem to be making an effort though.

Ah, but that's just the problem. From the point of view of the general public this is turning men into women, or the other way. It may be possible to educate the public (although not the religious nutdom) enough to understand gender identity -- but keep in mind that the task becomes much harder if you want to do it in such a way that the public understands the difference between transsexuals and the other transgendered types. Why is an MtF transsexual female if a drag queen with similar gender expression is male? Because one of them wants SRS while the other one is appalled by the idea? In the end, this is an answer that can be understood by an outsider yet comes pretty close to the actual mark.
