I think that we really think alike about it but that semantics are making it look like we differ more than we do. The "choice" to which I refer is the choice of whether to have the surgery or not and therefore follow a lifestyle based on living as a female. That choice was not made before she was born, she made it because something was obviously not aligned in what you call the "gender code", and I agree. I'm not putting her down. All I'm saying is that she can never be a complete woman, but that I support the decision she made. I doubt anyone would make that choice lightly, and the lifestyle she has must be a difficult one at times.
