Hirschfeld: Using broad labels erases valuable differences

Does my own identification as a man not align with my physical sex?
Does my scruffy face or deep voice reek of femininity?

My clearly scruffy face and deep voice point make me surprisingly
manly, but my friend screaming over the phone that a transgendered
person was going to be on the next season of "America's Next Top
Model" made me question it. Was my friend calling because he's also
gay and figured I would be interested or because he knows I am a fan
of the show? But I am skeptical of a transgendered person entering the
public eye.
