Maybe a little picky, but words have genders, people and animals have sexes. There’s no way to be a transgender. You can be a transsexual, I suppose, but I guess that word has gone out of political favor.
Yes, gender is for words and sex is for people and critters. I am saying that there is no such thing as transgender in the way they are using gender, but the same would apply with the proper usage of the word sex.
You say You can be a transsexual,...", since are being "picky", I would have to disagree with that. One can not change their sex. No amount of cross-dressing, hormone therapy or surgery will change your basic gene makeup. A female XX chromosome will always be a female XX chromosome, and and a male XY chromosome will always be a male XY chromosome. If one can not change their sex, they can not be a transsexual.
My only reason for bringing up all this is so say that we are shooting ourselves in the foot by accepting the premise that someone can suddenly change gender by "identifying" themselves as the opposite sex or gender. I think that this is going to cause many MANY problems in society. That the bathroom/locker room/ shower issue. If we as a society say that a man that dresses as a female is still a male, then the lines are still drawn. If we say that the male has "transformed" gender or is a "transgender" then we have bought into the ridiculous foundation of the argument and then have to make new rules and commendations for this new sex or gender. Since there is no transgender, why complicate the issue? Men dressed as women such as Bruce Jenner carry a driver's license that says "Male". He can dress as a woman, he can wear a bra, he can paint his toenails, but he is a man... not a transsexual or a transgender.
