I heard you speak at a West Point luncheon and think you're awesome! Congrats on graduating, and it's a shame you weren't allowed to commission. I'm sure you'll go on to do great things regardless.
My question is kind of general to all transgendered people, and is my hardest thing to understand. What is it that makes you want to hormonally and potential physically alter your gender? I know plenty of females who are masculine and act how a traditional male would - yet they don't feel compelled to literally become a male. And vice versa for feminine guys. What does being a transgender allow that you could not accomplish say as a nontraditional male?
Sorry if this is super ignorant - I would love to understand the mindset of transgendered people more though.
