It was sad to watch

I don't think those are true comparisons, a transsexual is trying to mold their body to what they are mentally, it greatly helps if they can "pass" as the sex they are inside.
Generally when you see a trans-person who is doing that they don't have the money to go to a doctor etc, it's out of desperation and feeling as if they have no other option, if they don't want to have people threaten them, get jobs etc etc it's literally life and death for some to pass.
