For the moment, I want to speak to those readers who may not think of themselves as transgender. You may think of transgender people as somehow different from you, say, some group of people over yonder that maybe you know a few things about, but haven't really spent any time getting to know much about.
Maybe your view of transgender people is primarily the notion of a person assigned male at birth, who decides one day to put on a dress, some lipstick, and declare that they are now named Jennifer or some such.
Or, perhaps, you hear that it's about young women who have somehow become deluded into believing that they might be men in some sort of internet craze akin to planking or the ice bucket challenge.
