In terms of biology, this is pretty clear.Even though you made cirurgies to change from man to woman(cutting your little friend down there, taking on hormones, those kind of things) its still important that you always remember that you were born a man(or woman) and people know about this.I am not versed in medicine, but what if you have a disease which treatment is only effective with woman or only man?Or a medicine that if taken, can be beneficial for a man but prejudicial for a woman, because of the natural differences they have that which cant be taken out which surgery?So for those cases, thats always important to not change(in my honest opinion) the official documents the gender you were born into. In terms to respect for another its more tricky to detail.Wether you agree with me or not, there are people that would get offended if, for example, a transgender entered in the opposite gender bathroom that we was born with.Its not a matter of disrespect, they simply get unconfortable.Now, if you couldnt tell transgender and the "normal" man/woman apart, I think there wouldnt be any issue.So which "right" should be protected?Its a tricky situation.And creating a bathroom just for transgenders is a bit silly in my opinion.It would be a better solution just to make an extra all-gender bathroom that is individual so that they have the bathroom for themselves, but anyone can use it if its free. As I said, its a delicate topic.I personally dont mind either way, as long as the transgender behaves in the bathroom, but that goes for anyone really.As for the person that wants to do it, I also dont have a problem with it.I judge a person by who they are, not by the societies values. |
Actually yes. It matters what your sex is during an organ transplant. For example, if youre a transgender female recieving a female organ from a donar that was female -the likelihood of your body rejecting the organ (in some cases causing death) are increased. That's important for any transgender person to know, when getting an organ transplant always try to get a donar that is the same sex as your original gender. It makes the surgery safer and the rate of success much higher.
