It doesn't really matter what they actually are biologically because you don't know what they actually are. All you have is an individual that looks like a female. If you didn't know they were a male, you would call them female because of the way they presented their self as female. It's a perfectly good example that supports the fact that gender isn't 100% synonymous with biological love and can vary depending on society.

The people you encountered probably weren't transgender. They most likely fit under the term cross-dresser if anything.

They both just refer to what kind of junk a person has.

Genitalia is only one aspect that determines gender and usually doesn't matter anyways if you behave like a girl and everyone views you as a girl. Also, take gender reassignment surgery in to mind. If that "male" doesn't have a richard and balls, with your definition of what gender is, they literally would not be male.

99.99 percent of the time you can tell if someone is trans / pretending to be a gender they aren't due to the voice, so unless if they go to extremely expensive and well working voice therapy for many many years, you'll notice

Well, if you're ever not absolutely sure, it does help to look it up.

This is basically the sole reason I haven't gone through with it.

Science says otherwise.

if you feel the need as a male to be a female and vise versa, you have problems that need to be fixed by a professional. that is not normal. i don't mean dressing like the opposite gender, i mean being transgender.
