The right to mis-define oneself

[bennyboy]

What does that mean? They can accept her as a woman with her still having the penis. You make it sound like she would be walking around sticking it in their faces or something

Accepting her as a woman and her actually being a woman are not equivalent.

Dude, she is fully aware of the penis. Believe me,  she knows it's there and she knows what the reaction would be. I think she wouldn't go into sex with someone without filling them in first. There might be transgendered people out there who wouldn't, but it's not because they're transgendered, but that they're dishonest.

IF a transgender woman is fully and completely to be considered a woman, then why would there need to be any disclosure? The reality is that this is a man who is taking steps to be more womanly, but will never be one in the way that other women are, because of the physical reality of her situation.
