When she was a child people told her she was a boy but she never felt that was right. As soon as she was able to as an adult she transitioned to living as a woman.

Of course I read it. This is a conversation and both sides are expected to listen/read to the other. My question to you still stands.
I understand that you are saying "the person inside the body is a girl and thus the body of that person is a body that belongs to a girl and is thus a girl's body", but you know full well that that's not what I am talking about.
If she is transitioning, what is she transitioning from? If she is taking estrogen, why is she taking estrogen? Obviously it's because the physical body she is in is one that has historically, for thousands of years, been called a "male body", separate from whether the gendered person who possesses that body feels like a man or a woman. Surely you are not disputing that concept, are you? That seems to be at the core of the distress of transgendered people -- the disconnect between their physical body and who they feel they are inside. If that concept has changed, I'd appreciate help understanding what on earth has changed.
