It's just terrible that people are made to feel they have to perform as one gender or another, especially when treatment depends on this. Coming at it from the other direction, I've always wondered about how much of wanting to transition is to do with not wanting to or not feeling one can fit the behavioural norms ... I mean, if women and men were treated exactly the same, would that result in fewer people wanting to transition, or exactly the same number? Hoping not to cause offence! Like, I feel I'd have been happier as a bisexual man rather than a bisexual woman, but would this be different if everyone was treated the same? I don't know ... If it's a physical feeling, then you shouldn't have to behave in line with masculine cultural norms to be eligible for treatment. It seems like putting the cart before the horse.
