She's been legally, hormonally and genitalically (sp?) female long enough this should not be an issue. Florida as a whole is not one of the really bad Southern states when it comes to LGBT rights, where the general populace is concerned, as long as ya ain't up in the north of the state, where the rednecks live. So I think she just answered the questions in all honesty, in fact, and certainly with complete sincerity from her point of view - no intention to deceive, no fear of crazy bigotry or w/e.
She has lost all of the specific male hormonal advantages in re musculature and bone density by now. If you know any male to female trans people in the earlier phases of hormonal treatment, you will no doubt be aware that it affects stamina and strength negatively. It was about the only thing one of my trans friends had trouble dealing with at first. It's one thing to know ahead of time what to expect, it's another to actually experience the change. Kinda freaked her out at first.
