"Ashley is one of a handful of transgender students at Winona State University, meaning she was born with the wrong “gender identity.”
as is:
“So that can include people who cross-dress and are comfortable with their biological gender, to people who are transsexual and know that the gender on the outside of their body is not correct and doesn't match the true gender they feel inside in their minds and hearts."
It would be appreciated if the author took the time to study the situation a little more carefully, and go to more than a random person at a GLBT source for the facts of the condition.
"Transgender" is a sociopolitical identity created to exist comfortably within the GLBT, so that "gender rebels" can live within the context of larget queer politics.
"Transsexual" is a biological birth condition in which the basal brain neurology is at odds with the genital tract. The two are not synonymous, and being born with a birth condition does not automatically make a person part of the GLBT.
Please employ a little more due diligence in here. Pat answers from political activists within the GLBT, or therapists with a vested interest in pushing the false "gender identity" construct, is no substitute for learning about the subject of your article.
