The site linked in the OP has some more...as well as a vid of her (him? her? I dunno what the right way to say it is) playing SF4.

No, she is a girl.
But if that person is by all biological definition a male, shouldn't that be it? I'm not getting a major part of the issue.
"I'd like to be referred to and acknowledged as something I'm not - accept and tolerate it" There's something wrong with that. I can't just go outside and yell, "Hey world, I'm no longer black" and expect my bags not to get checked every time I leave wal-mart.
Edit: Yeah, surprise surprise @ the photo. I'm honestly trying to understand this whole thing better though.

The answer is Japanfunkmastergeneral said:
Because its really easy to not know anything about the topic and it seems most of the lines, boundaries, and sensitive topics are just made up along the way. I'll go ahead and say flatout that I'm completely ignorant to the whole thing and generally want to know more - still, there's gonna be a load of people behind me that are just as ignorant and won't say that they're willing to learn more about it even if they actually are willing to do so.Siebzehn50 said:
Its just that when all you see is stuff like 'well, some people are trapped in the wrong body' its really hard to step back and say 'oh, that makes sense' - because it doesn't.

I have no issue with your position. His comment was obviously meant to be insensitive and degrading and it frustrates me to see people act that way. They are intentionally putting down an already exposed group just because they don't themselves identify with what they are going through.

Look at Dresden's post earlier on this page
That makes absolutely no sense. If you called Michael Jackson white, you'd be wrong. Not only that, but some may even take offense to it. Lighter skinned African-Americans get crap all the time for similar statements.Shanadeus said:
If I call Kayo a man, which this person actually is, how am I wrong? I don't get that at all.
Its almost like they'd like a special rule set in place just for them.

I think if you really want to learn more about the topic, one good place to start would be to read through the TransGAF here on GAF. You'll find stories from people about what they've gone through, why they made the decisions that they've made, and the search to figure out who they really are.
I don't at all look down on people who don't understand this topic, because it can be very complex and is something that still isn't out and public a lot of the time. The problem, as I see it, is that as of now what is assumed is that "penis = boy, vagina = girl".
That would be fine if that's what made people who they are, but it isn't. I'm going to assume you're a male, and forgive me if I'm wrong in assuming that. Are you a guy because you have a penis? What I mean is, is that the entire reason you'd consider yourself male? My guess would be probably not. You're probably a guy because you have a penis, AND because you feel like a guy, relate to being a guy, think like a guy, identify yourself with a guy, so on and so on.
What happens sometimes is that, for some reason, not all of those aspects are true. You have somebody who is born into a male body, but then they don't identify with being a guy, they don't see themselves as a guy, they don't relate to being a guy, none of that. For all of those things, they instead feel like and see themselves as female. Or, you have somebody who is born in a woman's body, but does have all of those feelings of identifying with being a guy, thinking like a guy, so on and so on.
I think the first step to getting better at dealing with gender issues is then asking ourselves what is more important about a person: who they are physically, or who they are mentally/emotionally. Now, I think most would say the latter. Is Stephen Hawking who he is physically, or who he is mentally/emotionally?
If you really want to give the topic some though, ask yourself a few simple questions as a start. If you are a guy now, but tomorrow woke up and you had a woman's body, which gender would you relate with? It's a simple question, but really answers a lot. If you suddenly had a woman's body, would that make you a woman, or would the fact that who you are is male be more important than that? Or look at it in another, somewhat sillier way. If you take a Toyota Prius, take the outside body off, and put on the chasis a Ford pickup body, what kind of vehicle is it? Is it a Toyota, or a Ford? A car, or a truck?
If we can say that who a person is is who they are inside, not outside, then we should allow ourselves to say that a person who is male physically but in every other way identifies with being female may indeed be a female. I know how hard it can be to accept that, because we have it so ingrained in us that the equation for what gender you are is as simple as a check of the crotch. But again, if we're then smart enough to understand that there's far more to being a human being than that, then we need to start to accept that life can't always be explained by such simple answers.
Does he look like a toddler?btf1980 said:
Way to miss my reasoning.
If he was like a toddler in both mind and body then yes, I'd consider him a toddler.
Even if he's biologically a 40 year old man.
Not really, their gender is simply female if they fulfill certain criteria. Calling her a man would be making a special rule set in place just for her, calling her a (biological) male would on the other hand be correct. And Michael Jackson is as white as you one can get, please don't try to bunch him together with lighter skinned african-americans.DY_nasty said:

I said wow
Good for her for having the courage to come out. 
Also, I'm very pleased to hear that she's been receiving so much support from people. Gender identity is a touchy and confusing subject, but the more people that discuss it, the more likely we are to make progress toward widespread understanding.
