Elaborate.

women who want to be men and men who want to be women.

I know what transgendered people are silly. 
Elaborate on your feelings towards them. What don't you like about them.

I am not Mr. Bubbles but during the inbetween stage (have boobs, look ike a girl but still have dick) just kind of seem like a confused mess, Or I want to have my cake and eat it too. I understand wanting to go from male to female and vice versa, but the whole have it all is a little different/confusing.

The reasons why they still have their original genitals is that it's pretty difficult to get the full surgery (and expensive). Difficult, as in you need lots and lots of therapy, and a certificate from a psychiatrist. Not to mention that it's a very scary (and irreversible too).
Quite frankly, I've always found it hard to empathise with transgendered people. I mean, it's pretty easy to imagine how someone could fidn people pf the same sex as him-herself attractive, but I just can't seem to understand how someone could feel like they should be the opposite sex. How exactly would someone born as a man "feel" like he's a woman. What is "feeling" like a woman (or a man) anyway? I for one have never had a "feeling" that I'm either a man or a woman. How would such a feeling even be like?
My personal opinion is that this has to do with gender roles (which are social constructs, and unnatural). These roles are oppressive, and people often don't fit in them. Maybe transgendered peple simply don't identifiy with the gendered assinged to them due to their biological sex, but since they see gender as something "natural" (due to the process of naturalization of cultural myths), they resort to mutilating their bodies.
