i know this is long time after the fact of what was written, but can i point out that not every single TG person wants to have the surgery, nor does the fact that i dont have female genitalia (or if i choose not to do the surgery due to finacial or personal reasons) mean imany less female than any other female. You don't "require" surgery to become female, nor should it be expected of us be it MTF or FTM! I don't mean to rant or cause a uproar and I will apologize now if I do, but that entire statement of me apparently lying to people simple because i choose not to have the surgery yet (i may infact just keep my extra "junk") doesnt mean I am leading people on or lying to people. As to the original topic, I think its more prominent here for both the reasons of religious fanatics and due to people who are closed minded, non understanding, or fearful of those who choose to be different be it gender-wise, religion, or even just the way we dress. I infact still go to the washroom in the male side (except for a couple places that i feel comfortable in) due to wanting to not be kicked out, assaulted, arrested, ect. due to having it happen before because people chose to complain simply due to my voice and that i wasn't "dressed feminine" (i.e. skirt, high heels, makeup kinda stuff that i had not yet bought or owned any of)
