I don't believe that Hannah has had surgery but that's not the point.  She is female in all respects apart from her genitalia and testosterone levels and it's not healthy to force folk like Hannah to repress their sense of personal identity and gender because it may not meet the binary gender models of the Abrahamic religions.

I wonder how this issue would play out if Native American culture had prevailed and up to five genders were universally recognised  :-\

This isn't about Abrahams religions and thats a realm where these discussions take on a life of their own.

Irrespective of that side note, I'm yet to see how rebutting centuries of knowledge with pseudo science is taking us.

FWIW I am questioning the studies resulting in transgender.  I am interested in intellectual debate regarding this phenomenon and not bigotry.  I believe that this is psychiatry and psychology failing people and society.  We are not mending broken thought processes about identity but encouraging what I would call unhealthy preoccupation with labels to take over.

We don't need more genders.  We need to break gender stereotypes and social norms to accept the grey areas as part of a spectrum of male and female.  Hermaphrodite are the only ones that revolve in male and female categories anyone else is wearing a persona.  That persona might be an identity crisis rather than anything else and it might be an unhealthy way to treat people of this nature.  Gender dysphoria is the key term here and one of the pillars it's built on usually shows that trans people are often attracted to their own sex (I.e. gay if not trans).  Hannah is a confessed lesbian meaning Hannah is attracted to women.

The mental health sphere is evolving constantly and IMHO not enough is being done to support these people and it's in the realm of entertaining the impossible IMHO.  that cannot be healthy.
