1. Actually, as someone who is in the dark about this kind of thing |
|
maybe you could enlighten me. As I understand it a transgendered person is someone who is anatomically Sex A but identifies (struggling for the right word there...no meaning to be offensive...correct my wording!) with Sex B. Therefore when asked this person would say "I'm Sex B"
So in the above tragic example this would be a woman who is anatomically male. As such the paper should refer to the person using the feminine pronoun as this was the sex the person in question identified with.
Am I correct? Or am I misundertanding?
