Transgenderism is the practice of transgressing gender norms.

Transgender folks come in several flavours:

• FTM (female to male) are people who were born female but see themselves as partly to fully masculine.
• MTF (male to female) are people who were born male but see themselves as partly to fully feminine.

• Intersexed are those born with some combination of male and female physiology, who may accept as natural their mixed gender.

Easier said than done, one might say.  For some people the above statement ?have passport, will travel? means just that.

Until very recently, transgender people struggled with the whole process to get their ID documents altered to the desired gender in order to make life more ?user friendly?.

ID documents play a much larger role in one?s life than one can imagine. Until confronted with gender issues, one does not realise how almost everything that needs to be done depends on it.
