[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have no problem (as I said earlier) with calling them she or he depending on their preference. [b]I don't agree with the idea that a transgendered woman is a 'woman' in the same way that people who were born women are. [/b]Growing up a woman in America defines you in a lot of ways. [/quote] Of course, these days, there are transgender girls/women in America who do grow up as girls/women in America. How do such people fit into your schematic? I wonder, also -- which experiences about growing up as a woman in America are shared by all people who grow up as women in America?[/quote] They would be, like the other person you mentioned, likely a woman for all practical purposes. But as they take rather drastic measures to conform their body and appearance to 'female' or 'male' then I think these definitions that you want to throw out the window mean quite a bit to them as well.
