I totally agree - and that's exactly what I meant when I said that I know I can have no idea how hard it is to do as a trans person. I wouldn't say that I personally fit too many stereotypes of the "woman" label, but as I was born with it and never felt a need to question whether it applies to me (although I do spend a lot of time questioning what it *means* - but that's different) - so I have pretty much no idea what transfolk go through.

I just think it's sad that many MtFs are denied during transition and even afterwards by social/psychiatric/emotional forces the same right that I've been blessed with, to question what "female" and "woman" are and decide what they mean for me without having to prove that they apply to me - and it's really wonderful to see those who do have that courage. All women - everybody, in fact - should be able to do so, I think.
