More and more people these days think so.
Some people think that the surgery isn' t even necessary - but simply living as a woman makes a person female - despite having male genitalia.
....
IF something as quantifiable as genitalia isn't an indication of the identification of sex - how can something as ambiguous as skin coloration be an identifier of race?
Shouldn't a person have the right to self identify what race they belong to?
And those of you - who this question angers (there will be several) - explain rationally why there is a difference.
We used to be a bunch of zealously religious idiots who squabbled over land during the middle ages. If people hadn't assumed they could be something different than they "already were," then we would still take that form as a people. The Renaissance would never have occured.
But luckily, the Europeans redefined themselves.
A human being is much more than the crude designation afforded to them by their genitalia. They have hopes, aspirations, desires that transcend those things. Once you understand that, you are ripe for emerging from the dark ages.
