WTF! You're not kidding. This guy/person is ludicrous.

"It was really cute and awesome that I was treated as male, but in being this way, they didn’t necessarily take into account the body,” says Whitley, who points out that, though he has been taking testosterone for around 15 years, it’s a relatively small dose. “I was born female and I identify as male – they should have probably have set my limit as somewhere in the middle.”

I can't believe they let people disallow information about their birth sex. And then to have the nerve and blame the DOCTORS for that misunderstanding. Did he not feel like stepping up at any point of the process and being like, "Hey, I was born female, think that'd make any difference in this process?"???

He thinks it was "cute and awesome" that doctors went by his medical records of him being marked as a man. You've gotta be kidding me.
