Exactly. I only wish to point out that there are problems on both sides.

For example, I know a person who identifies as a man but has a female body. He gets offended when people call him a "woman," because as far as he is concerned, he is a man. But in a very real sense, to everybody else she is a woman.

There's a disconnect between how the trans community seems to talk about gender (in my own brief experience with it) and how most people actually think about it.
