There's also the matter of transsexuals, few if any of whom would go through an aggravating, difficult and often dangerous transition if there was an easier and more straightforward approach, though sadly there isn't. There is a bit of a problem where some people won't accept that it's a necessity and still insist it's playing on gender stereotypes, though I think that position is becoming increasingly marginal, thankfully.
