It was never intended to be a professional treatise. Hence my disclaimer. I am transgender not a medical professional sharing what I have learned so far in an area that is still developing its language, debating the definition of its words and not even close to establishing absolute facts.

If I stir debate, so much the better.

I am comfortable sharing my thoughts with the total acceptance on my limitations. I hope that the next generation of transgender individuals grow up with more acceptance and far less ignorance than mine.
