I am so confused now.
Was this person a female to male transgender, or the other way around?
I was probably wrong. I assumed it was male----> female. But when I think about it, legally the ID was Danielle. I don't believe you can get a new ID until you have the operation. In my state, you can't change your gender on state ID anyway, even with the operation.
It's a mess in all the articles I have read, and in the end it does matter? The person is dead.
But, everyone I know that has read article assumes it's male----> female. So you and me are not alone. The articles do a piss poor job explaining it.
Is it any of our business that the person was transitioning? Probably not.
I have transgender friends and they said it took a while to figure out what was going on. The legal ID is what you go by.
News reporting is such dog s**t now. You shouldn't have to work that hard to understand a story.
