Hooray, transmisogyny (as mentioned in the article)! Maybe you should be more respectful to LGBTQ folks and not misgender them. You're like all the self-proclaimed Chelsea Manning "supporters".

No disrespect intended (or involved at all, in my view), she was born male. Curious how you would describe the situation at birth though?

She's just not cisgender; she's trans. That doesn't make her less of a woman.

Children are trans too. It happens every time a doctor coercively assigns a baby's gender and ends up being wrong.

Either way, women are women, and this one is an inspiration.
