First, the understanding that things that do happen at birth with alleged defects of sexual development lead to other things that are not without consequences to the innocent -

"pain"
"shame"
"anger"… for not understanding sooner…

Second, is an even greater understanding... I think it was stated correctly when the person being interviewed said, "you fall in love with the soul, and not the genitalia."

Boy, that MUST ring true for persons born with a "correct" anatomical "ID" but who DO NOT relate to their assignment, right? So... Can we please let this guide us to a better understand and the need to be accepting humans born in what might fall outside this problem, yet feel uncomfortable when given a "correct" anatomy?
