Nicole, I'm not clear -- are you saying you're concerned about people who aren't transgender "trying it on" or you're concerned that a large slice of the population is transgender and it would be better in some way for them to be impeded? I would think the tire-kickers (tyre-kickers?) would drop away pretty quickly. But I would think if real transgender people are getting help then it's a net gain for them and for society as a whole.
I too am happy with my contributions to life as a cis-pretender person but I'm also hoping that as we get more experienced with transgenderism there won't be so much pressure to be either-or on the binary model and perhaps there will be more emphasis on being comfortably non-binary. So you can have your kids and grandkids and have your sanity and peace as well. I guess I'm saying I view transgenderism to really encompass both maleness and femaleness (I hope those are words) and extend both. I don't think we're a subset of binary gender -- I think we're a superset.Oh, dear. It sounds like I'm running for office... sorry.
