shadowkatElisi does an excellent job of explaining transgender and the issues concerning it in her journal.
Transthology: Like an Anthology on Transgender issues
Sometimes...I think people who went to school and either graduated from it in the 20th Century or early 21st Century...were programmed to think a certain way about gender, sexuality, race, etc. And we have had to deprogram ourselves. For me it wasn't that hard - because I always questioned what I was taught, my father taught me to question everything. So the programming never took. But I don't think that was true of most folks?
Anyhow Elisi goes into detail and it's rather long - so go there for more information.

This, so much. Which is why I added that Yoda quote at the top of the post. It's not just the basic knowledge, which might be wrong (or lacking), but also all the unconscious stuff. (I'll get to your long comment soon.)
