...and, yes, I have met people who choose to identify themselves as transgender. I don't find that choice to be any more wrong than choosing to identify as male or female.

Well personally I would never play with a person who would get worked up over something like this. Of course I don't live in a country where you get the opportunity to play in tournaments against strangers. In the game Killer Bunnies there comes a point in a certain expansion where you need to declare what sex you would like to be and if you are in a relationship with anyone. The rules in that game specifically say you can make that up.

If I was to play with the transgender people I know I would simply say straight up for the purpose of the game your character starts of as male or female which would you like to be? If they repeatedly answered neither I would tell them they can just watch then. I say repeatedly because they would say neither as first. One of them I suspect would repeatedly say neither but they have always been like that and I would never invite them to a game.
