Well, sis...I wish that were true...you are confusing sex (biological/anatomical), e.g. male or female, in the binary perspective, with gender (identity/expression), e.g. man or woman...thus, anyone can claim to be a man or a woman, but male or female (or intersex) is defined at birth...hormones change only your body chemistry, not your genetics...even if you transition as a teen...
An FTM transsexual can look like a male with clothes on, but will not have a real, functional penis...and a MTF transsexual, if she tranitions early, may look like a female, but she won't have ovaries, a uterus or a real vagina...with advances in medical technology, those facts may change, but, for now, they are facts...
As a MTF transsexual I wish it were different, but it isn't...and I'm for truth, not fantasy...especially transgender fantasies that are eroding exisiting transsexual rights...

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that. FtM transsexuals often take hormones to alter their bodoes, along with surgeries. I plam on both taking hprmones and getting whatever surgeries I can to transition, thus being closer to a male physically.But a person's physical sex doesn't matter. Regardless of one's genitalia, or the hormones they had prior to hormone replacement therapy, if someone claims to be male, then they are male. End of story.
