Yep. That's it. Unless, of course, you don't KNOW.
Seriously, if they transition young enough and have decent re-training, hormones, and completed surgery... you can't tell. And THAT'S what yanking your chains! He11, half you homophobes have probably cheated on your wives with some cutie... who just may have been born a man!
And darn it! You probably can't get a law passed for the Hall Monitor to take a peak at all the equipment of everybody on the dating scene to make SURE. That would be a bit much even for the new 'Murica. Whoa, frustration!
If someone wants to inspect my junk before I enter a public bathroom, or my wife's junk before she enters a public bathroom, is going to be inspecting my fist with his tonsils.

Think I'm done with this thread. My boots are not high enough. Carry on!
