208430, What about the M2F who clearly presents as a Male though?

The argument has been if a person born male chooses to persent as female we should respect that choice and refer to them as a female. Use feminine pro-nouns and such.

There is no distinction made between whether someone presents convincingly or not. I am suppose to respect the wishes of the Janet Mocks and Caitlyn Jenners as well as the 6'4" person with the adams apple, goatee and Charles Barkey hands wearing a dress, and treat them how they want to be treated.

So whether you present convincingly as a transracial shouldn't really be part of the discussion. The only question I thought is how you self-identify.
