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

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

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.

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.

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

None at all.

Answers on this thread will be biased, OP, since people who know transgendered people will jump at the change to show how worldly and accepting they are; and people who don't know any, which is to say the majority, will not bother to answer.


I bet you $1,000 you do know someone who is transgendered. You just don't realize it because he or she passes without question, and because his/her gender is totally irrelevant to your relationship.
Doubtful see post above--.3% of population...

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

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.

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.
