No. Your instincts are right on as usual. Lynn is just the latest in a string of people who insist they are TS but haven't done anything about it. Somewhere along the way, the actual transition has become devalued to the point that some believe that it isn't even necessary for a TS. Apparently you can be a closeted cross-dresser with a pantie fetish and still demand to be recognized as a transsexual woman. Who knew?
That's why I started referring to girls like me as 'TransitionerS' a while back.
