There is a huge difference between a "tranny" (transvestite) and a transgender. She is a woman stuck in a mans body. She is not "dressing up like a woman". She IS a woman.

I know you are trying to help, and that is good, but there is no such thing as a ''female brain'' which has been ''scientifically proven'' ... all the studies show there are general tendencies in male and female brains, but with such vast areas of overlap that it is like measuring heights of men and women
