What I've learnt recently is that someone's brain mapping can indeed be "set up" for a female body, even when they are otherwise born male, and vice versa.
I don't particularly care what people refer to themselves as. If they want me to call them something, then I'll call them that, within reason. The problem comes when you have to assess the legal aspects. You certainly don't automatically become something you're not just because you say it. I think in the above example at least, there is a strong case for legally being a different gender. (I'm aware the law already exists, I'm supporting it!)
