I hear you can tell if someone's weregay by looking for the hickey they got from the one that infected them.

It's just that when people start to identify as xx or yy, they've probably mulled it over for so long that it's extremely unlikely to the infinity.
I wouldn't say it's okay to dismiss them right off in any case - they may actually be trans* and unable to explain their feelings (they could also be genderqueer and misinterpreting their feelings as being more sexual than they are).

As for people who 'just' have fantasies, I wouldn't say they 'qualify' as transsexual but I wouldn't challenge them either. Not only could the above be the case, but it's a bit hypocritical to support people for their sexuality and condemn others for elements of theirs. :/

I also definitely wouldn't dismiss someone for not being satisfied with the procedures. That... Wouldn't make very much sense (and it wouldn't be 'cool').
