I'm surrounded by a VERY large community of trans folks, and I can certainly say none of them actually believe their biological sex is different than they on they were born with. We all know and accept the fact that we were born the way we are, but are actively trying to change it.

A lot of trans people wait to get their gender marker changed on things like birth certificate, and medical records, for medical reasons. Like, sure, I could go out and get my gender marker changed to male, but I could also develop ovarian cancer, and that would **** things up.


So, someone may start cross sex hormones, get surgeries, and things like that. But until you have that final bottom surgery, you're still physically *born sex*. That does NOT make someone "born gender." because I believe you can feel like a different gender than you were born as, and you can change it.
