Choosing who you are

[WinterHold]

If a person is born with a functional penis and testicles - then decides later in life that they are actually female - and surgically alters their body to appear that way - are they indeed female?

I sometimes wonder whether all the chemicals we use are messing with our hormones.  I can understand people being homosexual, but have a difficulty understanding trans people.

This is a very weird issue.

Personally; I think and believe it is not normal at all.
Having mental tendency to shift your gender into the opposite without any reason aside from "erotica and sex" is similar to somebody wanting to change their skin color; or somebody wanting to grow a third arm.

A man is not a woman -biology proves it-. A black person is not white -innate capacity proves it-. Chinese people are shorter than many -height measurements prove it-. And of course; women are not men -biology again confirms it-. A man is more than his balls; a woman is more than her vagina.

When it shows itself in nature; it's a disorder though:

Again; this is my personal opinion and how I see it.. If I was born this way; I would've considered it a genetic mutation that goes against what the normal population of humans go through.
