“Gender identity” isn’t actually real. Biology doesn’t assign you a gender, it just gives you male or female organs. The “gender identity” is how a person with certain organs should behave in society.

So to be transgender, may not actually mean you want to physically be the opposite sex, it means you simply want to play a different role than what society says you should be. In essence, to be transgender is to be in opposition to society, not necessarily biology.

Therefore, a transgender is nothing more than a rebel, wanting to go against the norms of society, and now I see why people find them so repulsive, and why a transgender cannot take a trans joke told by a straight laced person.

It also means anyone can become a transgender in any moment, all you need is to find a desire to be the opposite role, and believe it in your heart to be true. Unlike homosexuality, this can be influenced.
