    I believe that the current term is ‘transgendered’… most trans-people I have met will tell you that they look for options like private or unisex bathrooms when they are pre-operative. Post-operative, they use the restroom appropriate to their body/mind-matched gender. In order for gender-reassignment surgery to be approved, a transperson has to ‘live’ completely as their soon-to-be assigned gender for some months prior to the operation. This can be a tricky situation in small offices, but usually can be accommodated with a little additional effort and education. As to a link with homosexuality … being gay has to do with how you relate emotionally and sexually with people of the same gender — not with how your body and mind match up. Two different things. Similar problems exist with regard to civil rights and bias-motivated violence, however, which is why the whole ‘community’ is usually referred to as GLBT (gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered).
