Well this all hinges on if you buy the idea that your "existence" as a female or male is only based on anatomy.
That rules out that there couldn't be any anomalies based on genetics or some sort of thing like that. I personally don't get it but I don't have it so I don't judge it.
Somebody like Jenner is a good example: he/she knew since he was a young child he was a woman and you can't say he didn't grow up in a perfectly hetero/dude environment where he achieved great success doing a totally dude thing. It wasn't like he was a figure skater in the Olympics.
So that gives me pause. Same with gay--if you talk to any gay person, they knew, there was no doubt. It wasn't some "lifestyle" they just picked up like you saying "I'm going to be a hippie" or something.
But here's the thing: are these the mentally ill people, or the ones targeting them because of their religion--and didn't we kind of agree a while back that you could argue being religious is a mental illness?
I don't see the Jenners of the world f***ing with other people. They just wanted to be treated like anybody else.
