There are many misconceptions about transgender people. MtF transsexuals are particularly the victims of these false ideas. For example, assuming that you must be gay. I was glad the Jenner put that nonsense to rest.
Another over arching misconception is that to be a MtF transsexual, a 'sex change' is necessary. Not true. Many trans women have not had bottom surgery for one reason or another, or have had only an orchiectomy.
We need to stop equating one's gender identity with one's sexual physiology. Women can have penises, and men can have vaginas. It's NOT what's between your legs that determines your gender.
