>> Sometimes, not necessarily. Transgender is an *identity* and the identifying as part is what's important. There are a lot of people whose body might not *match* their gender but not be trans because they don't ID as trans for whatever reason. <<

I was trying to address the article's tendency to narrow things overmuch. There are, of course, many other identities.

>>It's also moot if a culture doesn't always correlate body to gender. Then you can have a third gender person who isn't trans. My culture is like that, and I know someone whose culture has fluid gender roles based on social role and not body.<<

Or if a culture has many genders, or people routinely change, and so on.
