I think its great if you don't need any other qualifiers to your ID. Some of us however do, so that we have our place under the sun. It really is good for us to be able to discuss these issues in a safe environment. If the male aspect doesn't fit, don't use it. If it does, you are free to decide for yourself how it effects who you are.
I think because we get to choose for ourselves how we identify, information about gender identity is useful. I'm not giving any credence to "The Man" when I choose to use the male identifier. I'm a guy in a female body who isn't going to transition.
Simple, yes, one would think. How I choose to identify has no bearing on any one else, and frankly it isn't any one else's business how I choose to express that energy.
That's my .02 for the day.
