Most transgender folks feel (in their brains) that they were born in the wrong body. Those chromosomes can really get messed up, some one gets an extra Y chromosome or an extra X, etc.... It happens and the brain doesn't wait until puberty to decide this. These feelings are apparent at a very early age...Just like being gay is not a choice, neither is a transgendered person. If you choose to judge someone, try to research the issue first.
What I don't understand is that Hank Bassett dated a transgendered person when he cheated on Kendra so what does that make Hank? Not sure about this scenario. Human sexuality is complicated but some conditions you are born with just like the color of your eyes and is not a choice.
They make the choice to physically transition Mtf Ftm but I completely agree that they do not have a choice on how they see themselves.On how they feel.Ex:John Doe is a man but has always felt like a woman trapped in man's body and vice versa.
