"Hello. I'm Matt Kailey, and I'm a transsexual."

No, that's not how I introduce myself.

And the fact that I don't doesn't make me any more of a fake or a
fraud than the woman who doesn't say, "Hi. I'm Sue Smith, and I've had
a nose job," or the guy who doesn't say, "Hi. I'm John Jones, and I
have a colostomy bag." (These are fictitious people, and I'm obviously
not very creative with names.)

Matt Kailey wrote one of the worst books on the FTM experience I've ever seen.  If I had a paper copy of this article, I'd probably use it to clean up after my dog.
