Statham – Whether a girl is called a tomboy, or a boy has been told he throws a football like a girl, everyone in some way or another is affected by the issue of gender identity.
Most recently, after a letter was sent out to the parents of a Stratham Memorial Elementary School classroom regarding a student’s choice to be recognized as transgendered, the frequency of the situation has surfaced as being more common than generally thought.
Unlike transsexuals, people who identify themselves as transgendered can be physiologically male or female, but feel as though they’re trapped in a body of the wrong sex.
