Publication date 2002 ISSN 1446-9294 1327-1644 Summary What does it comfort any of us to insist that an individual shall be a man, when for the purposes of ordinary life that individual can only be, and be recognised, as a woman?

They have an overwhelming desire to live and function in the opposite biological sex.
