Return to my far-fetched thought experiment for a moment. If someone kidnapped you and surgically altered your body so that your physiology was now female, would you be really be a woman? Would you think of yourself as a woman, or as a man who had been surgically altered?

I get what you're saying and I agree that I will always think of myself as a man till I die, no matter what Mengele did to me :)

But I would also adhere to the social convention of using the Ladies' room if I have a vagina. Because I know (or think anyway) that the alternative is chaos and confusion.

Also, practically, my anatomy will dictate my actions. If the Mens' room was only a stand-up urinal, I couldn't use it, no matter what I feel inside.

Trans women are insisting that part of the truth is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It's bordering on a cultic dogma.
