This just is not true. I have zero issue with trans*people and know quite a few so don't call me a bigot. This whole "you probably would never know" business though is just false.[/quote]

Disagree. I know trans people and yes, some you could guess, some you could not. In my experience, seems to be how long the person has been using hormones. I have a friend who is a public school teacher (not DC) and no one knows. If you met this person, you'd never suspect.[/quote]

Until they speak.

Actually, this is probably true only when talking about a Male-to -Female Transgender person who did not physically transition until after puberty or a female-to-male who has not taken hormones.  On the other hand: 1) FTM Transgender people will develop a deeper voice once they start testosterone in physical transition -- I think this will happen all the time or virtually all the time (there may be exceptions, but then again there are some people born as boys who happened to still have a fairly high pitched voices as grown men); 2)  for younger people these days who show many signs that they may be transgender -- including Male-to-Females -- if they go on puberty suppressant drugs they can prevent their voices from getting deep and then if they decide to transition with female hormones their voices will not necessarily give away anything.
