"Maybe Transwomen can just classify themselves as women and just mention on your profiles that you are trans if that's something you want to mention?" For me it's simple. If someone is pre op and has not yet begun the process of transitioning, they are CD's. If they've begun their transition by taking the relevant hormone treatment but have yet to have Gender Reassignment Surgery, they are TS. If they're post op, and have a fru fru, they're a woman and should be accepted as such. | |||

Given the amount of time we have to wait to be seen to have gender dysphoria diagnosed (current waiting times just to get a referral is 4 YEARS) why should I be classified as a TV/CD? I agree I don't feel I am TS yet as I'm not on hormones, which is why I say I'm NB. I don't crossdress. I dress how I feel is correct. There's a big difference there that only the person involved can decide. | |||

"That it’s both belittling and embarrassing that ‘man masturbating in wifey’s dirty kecks’ is literally classified as the same as us on here? About a week ago there was a rude, obnoxious MAN in the ‘bi’ chatroom (the discussion of the unsuitability of this as the *only* space for ALL LGBT people to congregate is for another time) literally trying to make a sub looking for a dom feel like a freak or a weirdo because of their lifestyle which didn’t align with his very blinkered views on life, I pulled him aside and told him he was being a massive c*nt. well imagine my surprise to see that this rude, ignorant cis MAN was now listed as cd/tv. Seriously? All good with that, yeah? " The separation has been asked for thousands of times. However, I also don't like your insinuation that if you're not trans then we are 'men dressed in our wives dirty keks'. I put a lot of effort into what I do and its something I've done since I was a child and didn't even know what i was doing. It's not just an underwear kink for a lot of us. Most transvestites are somewhere on the trans scale without wanting to go full trans. The categories should definitely be separated, but don't shit on other crossdressers/transvestites just because they aren't the whole hog | |||

But I was looking at it from the point of view of a person looking for playmates. Unfortunately the website puts people with differing physical characteristics, i.e. those with a cock or a pussy, into the same category. For people looking for others with one or the other of those, it's not always possible to tell what they've got in their pants. That's not to say that someone wanting to identify as a woman shouldn't be allowed to, or that they shouldn't be acceted as such as they choose, but for some people it makes a world of difference when they're looking for play partners | |||

Cross dresser implies someone dressing up with clothes of the opposite gender. If someone is transitioning then they have already established they are a woman (in the case of MTF). Gender isn't defined by biology. | |||

"It's not just the owners of this site that have the inability to understand the difference between transwomen and transvestites; many clubs lump both together in their ignorance and treating transwomen differently to cis women. It would be great if the people involved actually did some research and learned the difference, and the equality law and GRA. Also, the persistent use of the outdated transsexual is galling. The term implies someone who changes sexuality [maybe from hetero to gay or bi and back again]. It was always a misleading and unsatisfactory term. The current term that is generally used, transgender, is not really much better as a Tv crosses genders when transforming. A friend of mine from many years ago used the term gender illusionist, seems more appropriate when you see some of the quite gorgeous tgirls when transformed. Some short time ago I heard someone use the term gender incongruety syndrome to describe the condition of trans people [I postulated this term in 2001 on a Yahoo group] Gis as opposed to cis. For transwomen to classify themselves as women on here probably would not work as it is possible that it would be rejected by the site mods when the profile verification photo was provided. As for the classification for tv, maybe a profile photo veri of the person in full tgirl mode would help out the hpws. Personally, I wouldn't hold much hope of the site owners updating things and joining the 21st century anytime soon." Your the kind of person why they probably do it. All you have done is tell everyone how wrong they are for using anything they possibly can to describe said person and not actually give a solid answer to what they should use? Your one of them people who can never be happy and everyone else will always be wrong. I can see why the site doesn’t make the effort now when these are the types of attitudes their dealing with. Doesn’t seem worth making an effort for people who will never be satisfied | |||

Is male and female outdated? Do they change male and female based on individuals feelings about being called male or female? Their medical terms. We use what terms have been given medically to describe said sex. Can’t just keep changing terms cause people decide it hurts their feelings then tell everyone their using the wrong term ffs | |||

"This has been an issue on this site for a while and whenever this is brought up crossdressers dogpile these threads saying "it's not an issue" as if they have a say in this. " And yet you think men should have a say though? People have the right to express their opinions thanks | |||

No. Because it's not the same thing and demonstrates the very argument the OP is making. Don't lump one group in with another for the sake of convenience. If FAB have enough people requesting it then there should be a separate Trans category. | |||

"Maybe Transwomen can just classify themselves as women and just mention on your profiles that you are trans if that's something you want to mention?" Thank you. I’ve done just that. I’m legally female, so why would I possibly want to get put in the same category as CD / TV. Some guy just messaged me saying “ I’d love to suck your cock”. Quick delete and block. Sorted. | |||

"Hopefully I won't be run outta town for saying. Being a pansexual Female, I like male to female transpersons, or convincing TV. I'm attactted too drag queens, even with beards and full makeup. Gay men are fair game to chat up. In a relationship, I have to have an Alpha male. Sexually love playing with bi men, and bi ladies. However hairy pant wearers do nothing for me. I find it a turn off. Am I complicated, yes maybe. But I know who I am and what I like. " I’m also Pansexual… but it would cause fab a meltdown to try and include this category on its list. | |||

There are certain members of society given genuine transgender people a rough ride.and bad press. Also. It is false to say that transgender people are not going down well with society. That is false, misinformation spreading. There is a big difference in demanding things, and just wanting equality . There’s too much crap in this forum post for Christmas. Ho Ho Ho | |||

"Maybe Transwomen can just classify themselves as women and just mention on your profiles that you are trans if that's something you want to mention? For me it's simple. If someone is pre op and has not yet begun the process of transitioning, they are CD's. If they've begun their transition by taking the relevant hormone treatment but have yet to have Gender Reassignment Surgery, they are TS. If they're post op, and have a fru fru, they're a woman and should be accepted as such. This isn't the right approach. A pre-op trans woman is not a crossdresser. Cross dresser implies someone dressing up with clothes of the opposite gender. If someone is transitioning then they have already established they are a woman (in the case of MTF). Gender isn't defined by biology." I agree that Gender isn't defined by biology. But as I said in my previous post in this thread, I was looking at it from the point of view of people looking for playmates with either a cock or a pussy. I'm not denying an individual's right to self identify as their chosen gender. I'm just saying that if someone is looking for people with particular physical characteristics, the present system doesn't help them to find the people they're looking for. | |||

A lot of people with severe gender dysphoria hate the genitals they were born with, and would rather not have them touched. This is why self identity is so important here, and the importance of a good profile writeup as well as a better defined gender section. | |||

When you look at it from the point of view of those seeking out people with particular genitalia, whether the CD/TS want it to be used or not is irrelevant. It's whether they have it or not that can make the difference between whether there's an attraction or not. To use a crude example, if a guy, woman or couple are seeking someone with a pussy, they might not be too pleased if the person who arrives has a cock. That doesn't necessarily mean they have anything against anyone self identifying as female, it just means it's not what their looking for in a playmate. And the current method of categorising doesn't address that point. | |||

Adding a trans gender is just one extra gender (or at most two if that's split into Trans Male and Trans Female). Accomodating for trans people isn't giving them special treatment. It's giving them equality like the rest of us. This doesn't cause any problem or uproar on any other website. Oh, and many places have gender neutral bathrooms now. | |||

" When you look at it from the point of view of those seeking out people with particular genitalia, whether the CD/TS want it to be used or not is irrelevant. It's whether they have it or not that can make the difference between whether there's an attraction or not. To use a crude example, if a guy, woman or couple are seeking someone with a pussy, they might not be too pleased if the person who arrives has a cock. That doesn't necessarily mean they have anything against anyone self identifying as female, it just means it's not what their looking for in a playmate. And the current method of categorising doesn't address that point." I don't think trans men or women are out to 'trick' anyone. Most trans women's profiles I've seen state they are trans. | |||

" I'm not saying they're out to trick anyone. I'm saying that when someone is searching for playmates, it would be a lot easier if it was clear what their physical characteristics are. Just to be clear, I'm bi so it wouldn't make any difference to me what someone has in their underwear. But for some it does matter. I know from my own experience of those who've looked at our profile that their details, pics and profile text sometimes does not make it clear what they have downstairs. I say again, it's not an issue for me, but others may not take the same view. | |||

" Why the hell wouldn't they have a say? I am actually for separating but it's pointed out on this thread, it seems there's a spectrum, so where does one become the other?

"I understand your point but can't agree sorry. What you define something as will be diffrent to what others define something as, so there is no winning. That's half the problem that makes this debate so detrimental to your cause. Where do you draw the line? What would a selection button do that you can't do in your bio part of the page to explain what you are looking for? Take the gender neutral toilets, it's a minefield. I'm not old fashioned I'm just logical it's a stupid idea that will cause the LGBT community a lot of hassle latter down the line unfortunately. Don't worry about others just be you and be happy." But I do worry about others, hence me being concerned for a bullied sub and pulling toxic cis dude before he embarked on his no doubt road to Damascus-esque week long journey that led him to the sisterhood | |||

"Why do cross dressers feel the need to rush into topics about trans issues and brush everything aside and pretend everything is fine? You are not trans. Your profiles clearly state you are 'TV' or cross dressing. Time and time again Trans issues are raised on fab and yet again CDs come in and say everything is fine as it is and proclaim splitting CDs and Trans genders will cause division or some bullshit like that. Men who every now and then wear womens clothing for sexual fantasies have no right to say trans people should "quit whining"." The OP calls herself a CD in her own profile lol. I would say a CD or TVs opinion carries as just as much weight as yours seeing as you're not trans either You also seem to make it a bit more binary than it actually is in reality. Lots of people who would describe themselves as TV's dont just dress for sexual pleasure. It's quite a wide spectrum that can go from people with such severe Dysphoria they hurt themselves to people who suffer/deal with it and you would never of known. | |||

"No. Noone is being asked to break new ground here. Transgender and transvestite are clearly defined, both semantically and legally in the first case. All the OP is asking is for them to be recognised as being completely diferrent by splitting the categories." So TV equals does it just for sexual pleasure? Ts would equal what? What provisos would you need? Just on HRT? or having had the full surgery? Surely if they have had the full amount of surgery then people can label themselves as women which is what some have done? | |||

All the OP is asking is for them to be recognised as being completely diferrent by splitting the categories." The OP isnt Trans The OP is berating "A CIS male" for changing to a TV/TS. While stating shes a CD herself. While being pretty horrible tbh and a bit kink shaming. Bit hypocritical Personally my issue is the use of "sisters" and "community" in the way it comes across to me. It's like we cant have our personal opinions, we dont have some sort of groupthink . I'm a person, an individual that would prefer to present as a female if I could. Keyword in that being an individual. I'm also not helpless dont need to be segregated away in my "safe space" Everyone of our paths are individual to ourselves and how our brains cope and deal with it. In a way that "normal" people dont generally have to deal with in the same way. Ofcourse there maybe some overlaps, but not possibly to do with your whole being. Each one of our lived experiences are different If that makes sense lol | |||

I'm not the one using any mental gymnastics Or using divisive and "hateful" language while professing to be against it In all honesty to actually answer your original question. No I dont give a fuck. They can label themselves whatever they want. I dont care. It doesnt effect my use or enjoyment of the site in which way. I recommend trying same. I'm also not sure how basically a post from somone who states they are a CD, whining about somone elses behaviour turned into another pretty boring debate on splitting up the TV/TS category. | |||

However, I also don't like your insinuation that if you're not trans then we are 'men dressed in our wives dirty keks'. I put a lot of effort into what I do and its something I've done since I was a child and didn't even know what i was doing. It's not just an underwear kink for a lot of us. Most transvestites are somewhere on the trans scale without wanting to go full trans. The categories should definitely be separated, but don't shit on other crossdressers/transvestites just because they aren't the whole hog" This. Perfect. How would you classify me? Am I a man in dirty keks? Let’s have some empathy for a very complicated scale. There should be a different classification for the two ends of this. But the middle ground is difficult terrain. I would never describe myself as a HPW or a CD. It’s more than that to me. TransHuman would be my self description. But that’s not an actual option. See. Tricky. Be nice. And enjoy life. | |||

I don't refer to myself as a hearing person on a daily basis to distinguish myself from those with a hearing loss. There is no need to complicate things. And there's no comparison to heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality since the term trans gives no indication of your sexual orientation. Heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality makes it clear that you are either attracted to the same sex, opposite sex or both sexes. | |||

In principle I agree 100%, however having been involved in a few arguments where I have made it clear I don’t want the word (actually find it offensive) used to describe me, I’ve been accosted with the logic of “Why does it offend you, it’s just what you are” - and kept being referred to as such. It is at this point I would slap someone if they kept calling me it, after I have made it clear they shouldn’t. | |||

Well, you are saying that they need special names but you need none, that you are the default and they are the ones that deviate.

"I didn't say they needed special names. I just said I think the term cis is fucking nonsense. You can call yourself what you like." The way I see it this not so much about what we do or like at an individual level, but about how we evolve at a cultural level. "By the way,heterosexual men and women are the default. The human race kind of depends on it." It depends on eggs and ovules finding their way to each other in a uterus, the people to whom those gametes belong can be of any sexuality and gender (and bisexual people of opposite sex fuck and have babies too). "And it's cool that folk can deviate if they like. I've deviated myself on occasion." On that we agree, it is very cool | |||

"Calling me cisgender ties me to a belief system I don't share and which I see as harmful to women and girls. Ì reject the word "cis". I am a person as are trans people, and a woman. " Genuine question... what is the belief system that is harmful to women and girls? | |||

"Absolutely 100% agree. I find trans people attractive & they are usually very in tune with their sexuality often through having been through a tough mental wrestle . I find FTM trans men incredibly sexy but I really don’t wanna see Derek in his Asda knickers and lipstick leering at me! It’s high time Trans people were recognised on here. " How do you know Derek isn't actually Deirdre and just not a particularly attractive trans person with questionable dress sense? | |||

Sorry you'll have to explain to me better than a sentence with no context... How does the use of, in certain circumstances, the prefix cis when talking about someone, as opposed to prefix trans, harm me as a woman? | |||

Majority of discussion going on here relates to sex and sexuality. | |||

Majority yes, but this thread is specifically about separating a sexual fetish from gender... in the context of the thread, even my autistic self didn't see the need to explicitly explain that the prefix cis (in your case being a cis-male) was relating to your gender. | |||

"That anyone can identify into womanhood." This is already the case and the world hasn't fallen. To society, I am a woman. Legally, I am a woman. To the people around me, I am a woman. Get over it. *Your* believe system advocates that I shouldnot be able to live my life as a woman. It wants me othered from womanhood and marginalised. It results in much tighter constraints around gender, after all if you are hypervigilant for trans people you are gonna judge some gender non conforming cis people as trans, just based on their appearance. This in turn results in people (mostly men) being confrontational towards not just trans, but also gay people, butch lesbians, femme gay men. This results in hate in the streets. Physical and verbal abuse. But you would rather look the other way. Rather keep spreading fear and hatred based on hypotheticals that only happen on extremely rare occasions. Be blind to the fact that your rethoric aligns 100% with the christian evangelical right in the US, from which UK groups take money. Ignore that you scream that we have the power and we are rewriting culture when in fact we are a tiny minority who has never had any power, never even had a single trans MP, all stats like marginalisation, abuse, economic hardship, healthcare, put at the very bottom of everything. You are a hateful bunch, you come in with dogwhistles but I know what's behind that. You hijack a thread that has nothing to do with you, with a post that threatens violence and then put yourself as victims. I'm out of here. Hopefully I will never interact with any of you in real life. | |||

"Everyone wears underwear, gay or not. People who cross dress aren't gay and gays don't cross dress. But then again, it's only in search mode that it's a grey area. As your only looking for chicks with dicks instead of dicks that dress. " Gave to disagree with you on this, I know a gay guy who Cross dresses and will only go with men. | |||

Most people don't voice their opinion as they can't be bothered with the grief or have abuse hurled at them calling them a bigot or a TERF because they believe in biological sex. I don't wish anyone harm or wish to see anyone bullied or harassed. Everyone should be able to dress how they want and present how they want. No issue with people being gender non conforming either....infact that's my bloody point. Men should be able to dress like women if they want, and women like men. It's only clothes. But the fact remains you cannot change sex. And it's an open forum. People can comment where they like as long as it doesn't descend into a slagging match. | |||

I'm not judging trans people, As for Evangelical Christians their views on women are not something I align with. Far from spreading fear and hatred I was giving my opinion.

"You'll interact with people like me on a daily basis. Most people don't voice their opinion as they can't be bothered with the grief or have abuse hurled at them calling them a bigot or a TERF because they believe in biological sex." Believe in biological sex? No one is saying biological sex doesn't exist. In fact, because of transition, hormones etc trans people know much more about endocrinology and their bodies than cis people. Also, sex is complicated: I don't think there are a lot of cis men with no testosterone and a high level of estrogen and progesterone in their bodies. That *does* affect your biology, at so many levels. What we are saying though is that biology is not social predestination. " I don't wish anyone harm or wish to see anyone bullied or harassed. Everyone should be able to dress how they want and present how they want. No issue with people being gender non conforming either....infact that's my bloody point. Men should be able to dress like women if they want, and women like men. It's only clothes." Gender is so much more than how you dress. For better of worse society is currently organised around gender, and not just with regards to how you look or dress, it's culturally much bigger than that. Would trans people prefer if things were less gendered? Certainly, we are the first ones to have a laugh at the many silly gendered things we find. "But the fact remains you cannot change sex." Addressed above. Sex is more than just your genitals. You can change some characteristics. I do so. It's visible and measurable. | |||

"How the fuck am I preaching hate because I disagree with you? You're talking utter dung now." Because from your point of view, trans women should not go through society as women. And that implies they will have to be marginalised, as we have been thus far. And to marginalise someone you need to make them look as less than human, like they do with migrants, people of color, queer people. | |||

Therefore they cannot go through life as women. They may present as women and feel more comfortable doing so. But they are not and never will be women. That word is taken. No one said you are less than human. Obviously you are human and should be afforded the same respect and safety as ever other person in the planet. | |||
