being a Transgender person has nothing to do with sexual contact. it's a matter of feeling that the sex you were assigned at birth was not correct and wanting to be some other gender. People thinking it's about sex is part of the problem here - people's sense of identity should not be boiled down to worrying about them doin the do or whatever. When you think that people are just "acting trans" or whatever for the purpose of sex, you're marginalizing their valid feelings and opinions (sorry if this comes off as hostile or putting words in your mouth, I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it).
