Yes... A family man that I worked with... I had not seen him/her in years.. A mutual coworker told me. I was shocked. We worked crazy hours on a project and I never suspected a thing. He had a wife and kids. Now he/she has a female name and a new Facebook profile. It just goes to show ... You just never know. It does now bother me... I was just surprised. |

| I know a MTF kid and I encountered a MTF adult at a company where I was the HR Rep. It was about 15 years ago and the person was a contractor for us in a VERY male dominated industry. It was not a great situation. |

| Considering that transgenders are reported to be about .3% of the population! it is doubtful many people can honestly say yes. |

| Not that I know of. Wouldn't bother me if I did. |

| I know a couple of trans* individuals second-hand (friends of friends), but I have several friends who are genderqueer. Gender is more than binary. |

| DH works with someone who went MTF last year, older person, looks like a reasonably attractive larger, older lady now. Had quite a bit of surgery, don't know the details. Much happier. |

Yes. I knew many when I was younger. Less so now.

And although cousin has changed name and started hormones, I think cousin still prefers to not identify with either sex. |
