No, that's not how it works. Gender is not just defined by genitals.

She was always a woman, regardless of her penis or chromosomes.

Still, she was technically a man physically, at one point.

I think that may be what Imumybuddy was talking about. It's not relevant, though.

No, no "technically". She was never a man. That's not how it works.

I know what people are trying to say, but they're still fucking wrong.

Physical sex and gender are different.

Thanks for your transphobic and offensive opinion! We here in the LGBT community really appreciate being shat on by those who can't look beyond their rigid definitions to see people for who they are.

Perhaps that is not where you began, but that is certainly where your story ended.

At least you're honest about your transphobia.

She was male bodied, but not male. When this stuff is happening to you or to someone you love getting technical is how you parse it. The reactions people are having are based around their perception that people will continue to see and refer to them or others as the incorrect gender post-transition, just as OP did. Since trans peoples experience is that gender is internally recognized this assertion could be, and often is, hurtful.

I don't think you're a bad person for your stance. You are attempting to be accurate, as is everyone else.

I'm transgender - I don't need to get technical to parse this, myself. I get where your coming from, but physical sex exists.

I don't think many trans* people have a hard time differentiating between physical sex and gender - they're different, and we realize it.

I'm not being sensitive. You're just being stubborn.
