    I'm not quite sure how to phrase this and I have no objection to transgender or anything like that but what I don't understand is why would a woman declare herself transgender and go through all the stress and stigma associated with it but then keep one of her primary female organs to go through a woman only process when she has declared she doesn't want to be a woman.

    I hope what I'm trying to say kind of makes sense.

    Raya, I totally get what you are saying and I don't understand it either. But for me I suppose the point is that whether we understand something or not is really not relevant - it's not our lives so as long as they are not doing anybody any harm (and I don't think the man in this case is) then it's none of our business.

    Hope you see what I mean and that I haven't said it wrong! My comment is not really aimed at you either but more a response to all the nasty comments under the article where people are clearly looking to find some way where this does in fact affect somebody else, just so they have an excuse to stick their noses in and be nasty.
