As ever, it comes down to whether you think men and women are defined by their sexed biology, their bodies, or whether they are defined by arbitrary, changeable, and superficial sex stereotypes.

RMW thinks all TW over 18 are adult human females so presumably RMW would argue that this is about sex rather than gender. I wonder what miracle happens at age 18 that transforms males into females?

If RMW is right then why are my eyes telling me something different?

RMW seems to think that it's the latter. RMW (when still at the part-time crossdresser stage) blogged about using the women's toilets when wearing a skirt and heels, but presumably didn't do this when wearing a man's suit.

Is this the person who didn’t want to change their male voice because they felt it carried more gravitas in court?

To be fair to Robin, Robin did explain that this is risky surgery and if complications resulted in the inability to speak loudly and clearly this would impact Robin's day job.
