Chastity Bono announces gender reassignment

I would say that's not true. I only need to know the outcome to know if I think that should be interfered with. Only if the answer is yes, then do I care to understand the why to see if that changes my point of view.

Since I don't care if people are gay, I really don't care beyond a purely academic interest why they're gay. Since I do care if people are killed then I have more than a purely academic interest in why Person A killed Person B.

In the iSm example, so long as Steve isn't interfering with transgendered people in anyway, while it may be nice if he learned enough and gained an understanding so as to overcome his issues I don't think it is particularly relavent whether he does.
