I don't think this makes even a single particle of sense. No offense or anything - but I've heard this from others here, and I think it is just silly. When I have my own breasts, and vaginoplasty, does that make me a cisgendered woman? Hell no. Should I be treated as one? Yes. It's awesome to try to be accepting and stuff - but if we were cisgendered women, we wouldn't need to transition. It just makes no sense.

The APA has no business defining this stuff either. Or maybe we should let them define terms for lung cancer, diabetes, and other physical ailments. The APA defines this stuff because the AMA is too freaking gutless to do it.
