I asked an earlier question about how people would react if their brother had a sex change. I am always surprised how much bigotry remains in this area. I don't see why accepting someone in their identified gender rather than their birth sex should be so hard? Is it because people are afraid?
And why is it so hard to afford transsexuals the simnple courtesy that costs nothing of referring to them as the gender they identify with?
There is at least some evidence now that their is a biological basis to transsexuality, but even if there wasn't, would it hurt to simply respect a transsexual the way they respect you?
We live in the 21st centuary but sometimes people behave as if this were still the 14th.
