他们已经意识到了自己的性别身份。对我来说，有趣的问题不是为什么人们应该做一些像生殖器身体变形这样的事情。问题是，为什么这看起来如此耸人听闻。美洲原住民和波利尼西亚玛胡的变性人文化并不以生殖器的身体变形为特征。在那里，性别似乎存在于职业中，而不是身体中。做女人意味着做某些事情，而不是拥有特定的身体。相比之下，印欧文化将性别与身体联系在一起，作为一名女性意味着获得某种身体。在任何文化中，人们都会做他们必须做的事情来实现自己的身份。身份的实现远远超越了性别；毕竟，许多人自愿为他们的国家、他们的宗教或其他赋予他们身份的事业而死。在《精神疾病诊断和统计手册》(DSM)中，我们是否将为国家献出生命的爱国英雄列为患有危及生命的精神疾病的人？也许我们应该，同时将跨性别者从DSM中移除，因为士兵是危险的，而跨性别者不是。
tures to have realized their gender identities. The interesting issue, to me, is not why people should do something like genital body morphing. The issue is why this should seem so sensational. The transgender cultures of two-spirits in Native America and of mahu in Polynesia do not feature body morphing of genitals. There, gender seems to reside in occupation, not body. To be a woman means doing certain things, not having a certain body. In contrast, the Indo-European cultures connect gender with body, and to be a woman means acquiring a certain body. In any culture, people do what they must to realize their identity. The realization of identity goes far beyond gender; after all, many volunteer to die for their country, their religion, or some other cause that gives them their identity. Do we list patriotic heroes who give their lives for their country in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as people afflicted with a life-threatening mental disease? Perhaps we should, and at the same time remove transgendered people from the DSM, because soldiers are dangerous, whereas transgendered people are not.
