LOL. Reddit thread called "Women of Reddit: What is the female equivalent of a guy watching a girl eat a banana?". And someone says "Of course, watermelon" and posts this gif.
I do truly believe that we would be better off as a species if we didn't fuss so much over our gender. This creates unnecessary segregation between the genders, in a addition to the obvious segregation already present (like separate changing rooms/showers, which actually have a use).
By not fussing over our gender I believe social attitudes will grow more tolerant.
Trans is a tough topic. I've been reading a bit about it and there seems to be very torn opinions on it, as with any hot topic.
It is classified as a mental disorder. And from what I've read this classification seems to hold water, scientifically. To the point where even the very hospital which pioneered the sex-change operation is no longer doing it. They are now using medication to help a person come to terms with their biological gender.
The disorder is likened to disorders where a person has limbs (like an arm or a leg) they feel don't belong to them. I mean, just think about it. In those cases you can't very well just cut off their limbs to make reality adapt to their mind, now can you?
While the sex-change operation was successfully making some individuals happy, it wasn't working for many others (a majority I believe). Suicide rates after the change were still very high.
It's an incredibly painful procedure that takes many years and operations to complete. I believe male to female is the most painful and troublesome as they have to carve out a cavity in their body which was not there originally. This creates all kinds of other medical issues. The permanence of the procedure didn't help either.
Considering the risks, pain, permanence and low success rate of the operation, it really does seem scientifically and logically solid to classify and treat trans-gender as a mental disorder.

"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse
