Here's the thing-- I think we need to be careful when we talk about a transgender women "bullying" her loved ones when all she is asking is that her loved ones recognize that she is a woman. There's a big difference between being asked to confront something you're uncomfortable with and being asked to navigate the kind of dehumanizing everyday cruelty that leads so many young transgender people to harm or kill themselves. http://www.yspp.org/about_suicide/gay_lesbian_FAQs.htm
