Of course, Calder...you are entitled to call yourself whatever you want...regardless, the medical establishment issue I was addressing is the inclusion of the transsexual birth defect with psychological issues arising from gender identity issues (Gender Identity Disorder in DSM-IV; Gender Incongruence in DSM-V))...transsexual folk like myself have no gender incongruence to be addressed by psychiatrists; they have anatomical incongruence to be addressed by surgeons, sadly only cosmetically, and many of us who are the working poor can't afford the procedures...ironically, some incarcerated murderers can have the state pay for their transitions...such is out so-called system of justice...in short, we need a medical, not a mental, diagnosis...
