I hope this is an appropriate question, if not just flag it for me. I was just watching a movie that was centered around a transexual and their difficulties, and it got me thinking about how homosexual rights and such are a major topic of discussion these days and wondering how comparable the transgender debate is. I mean, are there any signifcant distinctions that should separate the two? (Side note: I am not at all saying that a homosexual and a transexual are one and the same).
