It doesn't mean a transwoman can't live her life to the fullest, but society will always judge T girls differently from Genetic girls.
In simple terms, more people are likely to call a woman with a penis derogatory names rather than a woman. Society doesn't just allow transwomen to be part of the "Crowd", even though they want to be (And Should).

1. My response to you was not about the crowd issue out of context, but in your context of stating "I think T-Girls will only get more and more popular as time goes on." From the perspective of people who want to be "part of the crowd," it seems to me such a statement flies in the face of reason. I asked a transwoman I know about your statement last night. She said, "I want to be no more or less popular than any other segment of the population." I know what she means.
2. You write of transwomen: "... they're not born women." That is ungendering. They ARE women who happen to be born in the wrong body. While I don't think you mean it offensively, it is offensive. Read here:
