Transgender people have a gender identity that differs from the one they were assigned at birth, and that gender identity is not the same as sexual orientation. Gender identity is who you are, sexual orientation is who you love. Some transgender people do undergo hormone therapy or sexual reassignment surgery as part of their transition; some do not. And interestingly, their decision on this matter is, medically speaking, none of your f-cking business. If you’re still wondering, ‘What do I call a transgender person, it’s so confusing,’ actually it’s pretty simple: call them whatever they want to be called.

The media and country as a whole still can't seem to
grasp the very graspable concept of transgender.

I understand what transgender is and the basic details behind it, but it's still, honestly, "odd" and "weird" to me.
I'm not saying that to be bigoted. I'm saying that because I want to be honest, I think a lot of people view it the same as I do and are afraid to approach the issue because of potential backlash.

Is Caitlyn openly exposing her genitals on national television? No? Are you having sexual relations with Caitlyn? No? Then her genitals are none of your business.
