Les choses sont plus compliquées pour les personnes dites « transidentitaires », c’est à dire dont l’identité de genre diffère de leur sexe de naissance. Ces personnes sont transsexuelles, intersexes, transgenres, bigenres,… et le moins qu’on puisse dire, c’est qu’elles en prennent plein la gueule.
