… baffles me. A transgender woman should have no trouble using the correct restroom. A transgender woman is not a transvestite or a Halloween partyer... she's a woman. Many men and women have a range of appearance - masculine to feminine. How in the word does this man know the woman was transgender? He has a DNA Ray? There must be more to this story...

transition, years on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or how masculine she appeared before she began, determines how male she appears. Early on, you may not need to see someone's genitals to see they are trans. That's why transitioning is so frightening to trans women.

My daughter is one year out (on HRT) and just 2 days ago got the nerve to present female. It was an incredible day. She said she got some confused looks, but otherwise felt good. She's still afraid to present as female at work.
