Apart from the trans debate, what is the difference between pretend and authentic? This matters in many parts of life not generally considered polical. In art for example known forgeries, no matter how well executed, rarely command the respect of originals. Putting a hood ornament on a chevy does not transform it into a real Benteley. Even as far back a Plato, the distinction between appearance and actual mattered. So it seems to me, whether or not someone who alters their appearance now truly qualifies as what they appear to be means first having a grip on the meaning of authenticity, etc.
