> if you are legally a man then you are a man no matter what you think you are.

Do you mean "legally a man", or "medically a man"? It is trivial to conceive of legal systems that fly in the face of what is plainly reality. The law can, and at various times and places has been, written by bigots and/or the uninformed. Who cares how it classifies things?

As for "medically a man", while it is possible to be "medically a man" or "medically a woman", for any reasonable definition of "medically", there are more than those two options.

What does "medically a man" means ? I mean one undergoes a re-assignement because one wants to change its legal status right ? now in my home country however (France) , I dont think there is a third option , but you can legally change your sex. And that's fine.
I'm not a doctor, nor do I really do any sort of gender studies research as a hobby, so I do not know what "medically" would mean in this context. What I do know is that "legally" is basically worthless.
