As far as people who get upset at being called one gender pronoun or the other... well, who cares? It happens. It's nothing people should get upset about because ultimately, it's trivial. Do what you want and live how you please, just don't make it anyone else's problem; that goes for the left and the right.
I'm not Republican. However I like this idea, next time I will identify as another race. It's the same thing. I don't care what people want to be called, I don't want to be told I'm wrong because I think your gender is what is in your pants. Otherwise we get nuts, like people protesting because a guy sang a song about a man who looked like a woman.

Sure, if he has a female brain, why not?

Yeah, it's kind of like teaching a boa constrictor to play Chopin on the piano.

Ever consider maybe he's just a freak trying to get into a female restroom to watch the women? I wouldn't like a man dressed as a woman using the same restroom because he's a MAN WITH A PENIS.

Race and gender are not similar enough to compare the way you just did. Gender (or should I say sex) is mostly determined by genetics. XX or XY Chromosome. Generally speaking, if you have XX, you have a vagina. Some people's minds however believe they should have the opposite sex organ and become the opposite gender.

Here's what I'll ask, let's say someone appears to be a woman. Breasts, body type, etc. But they have a penis. So, based on what you'd just said, she would go to the men's room? Simply because she has a penis? How do you think that will go over logically? That's gonna be alarming to the male restroom goers, and it's not going to be made better if she pulls out her penis to prove she belongs. Do you see my point? Sex organ is just part of the gender identity. It's not a simple issue.

So-called “transgender” need serious mental health treatment and conditioning to snap them out of the fantasy world they believe they live in. The worst thing society can do for these sick misguided individuals is to entertain or indulge their unhealthy delusions.
