I am thinking even more ambiguous than a person who actually completed a transsexual operation or is taking hormone therapy.

What if the person simply says I know I was born a man but I "identify as a woman?"

I suppose there is an official certification a person must make when they become a transgender?  I was unaware of that.  If that is the case, then it seems a lot of men may do that just to take advantage of the WOSB program.  They don't have to explain why they want to be a woman, they just can.

I am asking this question in all seriousness and in a non-partisan manner.

Given the current political environment where the definition between a man and women is becoming less clear, how will this affect the preference given to Women Owned Small Businesses?

If a business owner says they are a woman, who can challenge that?
