The apple will always be what it is on the inside no matter what!

I think the thing people don't really get is that gender has everything to do with what's "inside". If someone is truly of one gender inside and the outside they were born with doesn't match, then they should have every right to change that peel, or "shed that skin" like you said. But too often is seems that they think people should reverse that and force their insides to reflect their outsides.

So if that Apple wears an Orange peel, people will expect to bite into an Orange. That is understandable. The part that fails is that people will then assume the Apple should become an Orange, rather than just shedding the Peel, because they expected to bite into an Orange damn it! Fail.

It seems to many people get Gender confused with things like Genetics and Genitals. Sure they sound a bit similar, but that doesn't mean they are hte same. ;p
