I was fortunate last week to hear a lecture by Dr Marci Bowers. at the lgbt center in NY NY .
She is a well known surgeon who has helped women , men, and transgendered people find confidence in their anatomy . She is also mtf transgender . there were a good mix of people at the lecture including crossdressers mtf trans , ftm trans . and many "straight " cis people ho were in the social work and medical fields .
She spoke about a wide range of things with a great slideshow as backdrop. here is one that I thought had some resonance with a topic we debate here often . I am sorry that the text in the photo couldn't be more readable , but the headlines tell a lot .
Also , Dr Bowers talked about the the idea that gender is not really about clothing and its not about genitals. you can be transgendered without ever needing modifying your body .
