People's identity is not for anyone else to decide but them and trans people are who they say they are regardless of if they "pass", regardless of if they use medication or surgery, they are who they say they are, period.
A socially constructed concept like gender absolutely requires buy-in from the society, by definition.
The fact that society has an imperfect understanding of s*x and gender doesn't change that, though it is unfortunate.
This hole is for discussion, blogposting, memes, greentexts, and anything that relates to being transgender.
Being transphobic, homophobic, and generally too annoying and chuddy in this hole will get you exiled. Posting elsewhere has little hold on that so as long as you can play nice without concern trolling and hiding your true intentions behind a thin veil you will be allowed to post.
