Some people will be pissed at this but I'm going to say it anyway. [View all]

If a trans person has had all the surgeries and can live as the gender that they identify with why the need for the continued "trans" label?

(I have been watching 90 day fiancé' and one of the guys walks around with sign about trans acceptance and is all worried about telling his new fiancé's family that he is trans and I am thinking, "Why do they have to know?" I guess this is what caused me to question)

I realize some trans people do not go through all the surgeries so for them I understand. But say I was born with some birth defect, (and I heard a doctor describe trans-sexuality this way) not related to sex; would I spend my entire life with a label that describes that birth defect? I heard a girl TV say that she was born with 3 nipples. So they removed one. But she just mentioned it and that was all

I realize that I am very ignorant about a lot of things and that I probably do not understand all about this issue. If someone can explain I would appreciate
