It sounds like someone who is a novice and independent researcher. They are probably not in school or otherwise have a lot of guidance.

You are right on point here. Having no access to proper guidance and support that usually is quite expensive for me, I've to resort to free or pirated resources available online. But even there I struggle to find exactly what I'm looking for.

But I would primarily rely on subject experts to guide interpretation.

These, for me, are case laws or interpretation by jurists. But finding that exact case which discusses my precise question is the tricky part. I'm aware that quite a few of these case laws are available online. Just a bit beyond my search for now.

Learning how to ask questions is part of learning how to find answers.

This is quite helpful. In a manner, this is the essence of my query here. How do I ask questions when using net to get the response I'm seeking. Perhaps it would be better if I were to incorporate this reply into the post itself.

Thank you for taking time to respond!

I agree with what you're stating and I hope that that's where we are headed - there just being man, woman, and non-binary gender identities. For now though, as I see it, cis/trans become relevant in three ways (off the top of my head):

  1. Medical situations - self explanatory
  2. In pursuance of romantic/sexual relations - society is still at the stage where the visual perception of a person lead to certain presumptions. Not everyone may be okay with dating/having sex with a person who has different genitalia than they presumed that their partner would have.
  3. [This point is my personal opinion] The visibility of people openly owning their journey can be a source of information, give courage to others who are undergoing the same journey and are scared or confused. I knew about my orientation way before I realized that there's a term for it or that their are others like me.

I hope I got your query right.

Pity! Had it been true, Canadians could've gotten free transportation as well...
