Transgender activism is based on the premise (or claim) that a person who feels they have been "born into the wrong body" has a right to a sex change. Through cosmetics, grooming, clothing and an official name change, such a person can adopt the opposite sex's gender role.
Whether seeking a sex change is linked to sexual orientation is hotly disputed in the political arena of Western countries, where most sex changes have occurred.
