If you are an American citizen then you are American. A more apt example is someone living in Philippines wanting to be called American even though they are not a citizen.
Someone living in Philippines who has no citizenship to America says "i am American", you would look at them and say "no you are not". No matter how much they wanted it to be true the facts do not support it.
Here is just one sample of such a line. "fallon fox" he is an mma fighter who now fights in womans division. We could get into great detail of the biology, height and so on that a man keeps even after surgery. Hopefully you see some of the real unalterable issues that arise from such things, can't wait till shaq has gender reassignment and fights women.
I shall be called emperor of all, sadly simply saying it doesn't make it true. Facts are stubborn like that.
