Editors' Note: Today's guest post comes to us from a midwestern transman who asked to stay anonymous. He is not comfortable having his name attached publicly, but felt compelled to write about this topic.

I wrote this post in response to some comments on an article about Kye Allums, the first openly transgender female-to-male person to play NCAA Division I basketball. exist.jpgMost of the comments on the article were positive since it was on a GLBT site; however, a few brought up several points that are typically used to refute the very notion of transgender people, such as the following:

    ... humans are either male or female. 'Transgender' people are not 'men' born into a woman's body or 'women' born into a man's body. They are simply men or women who are confused as to their gender ....
