There are 3 definition s of the word TRANSGENDER , the 3rd one is the one I relate to, I was so thankful to see this written because it is exactly how I feel. TRANSGENDER A third definition is political in nature and refers to anyone who considers themselves as different in terms of sex or gender. Most transsexual persons refuse to be lumped in with the TG Community, but others like nonop TG persons or see political value in working together. Answer: A transgender person is someone who deliberately lives in a way opposed to their physical sex. For example, if a person is born with female genitalia and wants to keep it, but expresses and feels that they are a boy mentally, then they are transgender. Transsexual and transgender is not the same thing as transsexual is only applicable to those born with a need to correct their genitals, while most transgender people desire to keep their original genitalia. A person is born with transsexualism, and after surgery, they are no longer transsexual, and have never been transgendered. It is a hurtful myth to say that a person is transsexual after surgery. The whole idea of the surgery is to stop having transsexualism and to get on with life as if they never had the condition. |

"Thanks for taking time to enlighten us. Great to know x"
For me and many of my old friends it was important to fix out mind and body mismatch ASAP and then get on with our lives. Often going stealth and only letting those who need to know about our past know. I ended up being open about myself on here after refusing to give in to being manipulated in to bed by a trans chaser on here who threated to out me if I did not meet and sleep with him. The term transgender covers a wide spectrum of different folks. Most of whom are more vocal/visible. Hence more well known by the public online and offline as they tend to go out of their way to make their presence known. Where as many of use old school transsexual's the aim was to fix the issue and move on with out lives unnoticed. Many of us had to make big sacrifices like loosing family members and old friends and moving to avoiding publicity at times. As that for us would defeat the whole object of fixing the issues we had with ourselves in the 1st place. For us it is not a badge we wear. Just a distant unhappy memory we rather leave behind us and not dwell on. |
