You're right when you say that I don't comprehend Transexuality, but you know what? Just because I can't stomach an idea it doesn't mean I have to act upon that.
I can see where you're confused. You're saying that I respect them but don't acknowledge their gender identity, and this is true. I don't acknowledge their gender identity because it's something that I don't understand too well. You can't blame people for reacting this way with something that is really unusual to them. It's just human nature.
I'm not going to be able to explain myself too well on the subject matter, but all I can tell you is that even though this kind of thing is really strange to me, I don't let it get to my head because it's not in the best interests for me and my friends.
I suppose that makes sense. It's hard with no real reference point to understand something that happens to an incredibly small percentage of the population and only in recent years has become openly talked about in our society.
The fact that my parents basically never heard of it, outside of drag queens and other things that aren't really similar, and my younger cousins and their generation almost all know at least one person directly or indirectly who is transgendered, is truly uplifting though.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you approach it, really. Perhaps it might be worth it to ask those friends some questions to help understand it a little more, though?
Me and my friends have actually talked about it in-depth many times, but we stopped at a certain point because we felt it was just more drama then needed. They tell me that they strongly feel that even though they we're born a man/woman, that they felt they we're in the wrong body and such.
I don't think it's wrong to be a Transexual honestly. If it's something you feel strongly about, and if you have faith in your vision, and if it doesn't harm other people, then I see nothing wrong with it.
I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend Transexuality and the desire to be one because I'm not Transexual.
Do you consider a post OP tranny a woman?

You don't have to apologize, it's fine.
