her... Not me. I said when she said it is when we should start referring to her as it. How is that me forcing a gender identification if I am saying that the individual determines it?
Oh, I think I've found the disconnect: you mean man here?
If that is what you are asking then to answer that question: No. I think she was and is a man and deserves the medals.
It's just that other suggest she has been a woman her whole life, not just the last year of her 65 on earth (we agree that those folks are wrong). I'm pretty sure she has even suggested she has identified herself as a woman for quite some time.
I just didn't realize you consider the transformation to be when they stated publicly. What about those that are not in the public eye or never make a formal announcement?
