@waytoobiased If I'm a guy and I prefer she/her, does that make me a woman? That doesn't seem right. You can want a female body all you want, but if you weren't born with it, you won't have one. It won't have fallopian tubes, a uterus, a vagina, ovaries etc etc etc. If you have a beard and penis, you can't be perceived as a female. Not sure what "Femme Expression" is. You're falling back to cliches about women to define a woman. It's like saying, "If i feel girly, get hysterical, and drive poorly that makes me a woman" which is both offensive to real women and wrong.

@billcipherproductions1789 "and if they feel like the gender they are born with doesn't represent who they are on the inside" What does a woman feel like on the inside? And how does it differ from how a man feels on the inside?

@narukahatsu It's not about respect, it's about answering basic questions. If someone says they "identify" or "feel" like a woman, what does a woman feel like? Obviously it's not about clothing, it's not about giving birth and nurturing your own child, it's not about your hair. So what is it to "feel" like a woman?

@waytoobiased How would you define the gender of "woman"? And what makes it different than the gender of "man"?

@Cpt_Guirk You've made a perfect argument why a trans-woman should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.

@billcipherproductions1789 When you say they "identify", what does that mean?

@rasheedsk7855 Here's the definition of Body dysmorphia from the Mayo Clinic. Consider this definition in the context of what Matt is talking about: "Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that you may avoid many social situations. When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely focus on your appearance and body image, repeatedly checking the mirror, grooming or seeking reassurance, sometimes for many hours each day. Your perceived flaw and the repetitive behaviors cause you significant distress and impact your ability to function in your daily life. You may seek out numerous cosmetic procedures to try to "fix" your perceived flaw. Afterward, you may feel temporary satisfaction or a reduction in your distress, but often the anxiety returns and you may resume searching for other ways to fix your perceived flaw. Treatment of body dysmorphic disorder may include cognitive behavioral therapy and medication."
