[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. Some people really do have ambiguous genitalia and the doctors and parents pretty much guessed and raised the kid according to their best guess. Kid grows up feeling "off" and realizes they were raised a boy when they really are meant to be a girl,  or vice versa. I think there are also cases of mixed up chromosomes like xxx or xxy which can also mess things up. I think by and large these are the people we're dealing with as  transgendered. There probably are some mentally ill people or just plain weirdos in the mix but my money is on the majority of them having a bona fide physical defect that caused them to be raised as the wrong gender. For those people,  I support them using whichever locker room they prefer. Can you imagine how awful it would be to be in the wrong body,  to not match what your brain is telling you you are? To always feel different,  to never blend in,  always be stared at and mocked? Very few people would choose that.

That said,  I am not sure anyone in this thread is really complained about someone who has ambiguous genitals using the locker room they identify with. The concern is the weirdos and psychopaths falsely claiming to be trans in order to gain access to women's locker rooms for nefarious purposes. I think that's what the whole debate is over. [/quote]
