[QUOTE="Cam, post: 302969, member: 568"] Can you clarify what you mean by lying? If someone has the commitment to their gender identity to undergo sexual reassignment surgery, I would wager they weren't making it up. Everything I have read about her also indicates that she has never questioned her decision and considered herself "[URL='http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/tennis-star-renee-richards-reflects-trans-life-article-1.2240292']anatomically, functionally, socially, emotionally and legally [a female][/URL].” Though, if I understand correctly from your previous posts, you mean that they are inherently lying to themselves because they identify as a different gender? Correct me if I am wrong. What I mean by "lying" is that someone can't say, "I am a Division II level men's college tennis player. So, I'll pretend I identify as a woman to get a women's tennis scholarship at a Division I school for a full ride. The university cannot prove otherwise because it the only proof exists in my personal statement of identification." In the case of Renee Richards, it was determined that she was indisputably a woman after her surgery and repeated hormone therapies. If that is the bench mark that we need to set to prevent scenarios like I described, then that should be the case (and currently looks to be the case given the lack of instances). [/QUOTE]
