I can disagree. someone that decides to be a different gender than what his appearance dictates is definitely similar to someone that takes up the african culture even though his appearance dictates differently. it’s not the surgery that makes one transgender, they were transgender before and they chose the surgery to minimize the contradiction between identity and body

The point is not that they are not entitled to their chosen identity, but that they should be more sensitive to issues that go beyond the identity and not try to suddenly magically become part of it. Nobody will forbid a white man to use ghetto clothes, but if he suddenly starts to act like he is suffering with racism, that will sound weird. If trans people can’t understand and empathize with the fact that they did not experience the prejudice before, and have the common sense to stay out of the specific issue, then sorry but they are the ones being insensitive and screwing their own chosen ”equals”.
