You're making a big assumption that this person "really was" a female. The idea that we get to decide our gender is radical.



Does it really matter in this situation? At the very least, a person should be able to do whatever the frick they want to do with their own body.

The person in question wanted to be presented to the world as a female. If you aren't going to respect that person, why even show up to the funeral?

All philosophy on LGBT issues aside, if you don't respect how that person wishes to present herself, why even go?

But do the people who love them have to be happy about it? If your brother constantly shot up with heroin, would you respect that decision or would you try to stop him?

Loving someone doesn't mean respecting all of their choices.

Because you love them.
