Calling her “transgender”.She’s actually transsexual cos she had the chop.


I’m the only progressive one here

Guess not

Transgender is correct because she’s already had the surgery

[Jamie89]

Where is Vicky and the transumbrella?!

[Jamie89]

Transsexual people are transgender as well as transsexual basically, but not all transgender people are transsexual

[Vicky.]

I have posted the umbrella too much these past few days

India is a transsexual. India presumably has sex dysphoria as India has had SRS. I don't see why anyone would have SRS without sex dysphoria.

India would come under both transsexual and transgender.

[Vicky.]

Also I don't think misgendering means what you think it means

[Jamie89]

'sexy dysphoria'

[Jamie89]

I saw the edit

[Vicky.]

Yes..that was an odd one, even for me

[Morgan.]

Misgendering is when you refer to a female as male and vice Versa.

[Crimson Dynamo]

still at least its not all confusing and will catch on with Joe Public ok...

[Beso]

What i dont understand is why all the ones(i use that cause i will probably say the wrong word) i have seen have to dress so borderline slutty...

ann said she see's india as a he....so this is about passability , and maybe they feel india doesn't look the part to get the tittle.

I don't think it's about that tbh. Maybe it is for Ann, but even if someone does 'pass' it can still happen. I've misgendered a transman friend of mine (and it is mortifying when you realise you've done it) but it would never have even crossed my mind he was born female when I met him (before I knew he was trans), noone would think he wasn't a man to meet him. It's just an easy mistake to make sometimes if you're thinking about it because of talking about their trans status. People slip up with words all the time without it meaning anything.

What's the difference between transexual and transgender? I've seen the definitions of the two posted, but they're basically the same thing with different wording? Does that mean there is no difference? Or does transgender mean all the made up identities like "grey gender" or "agender" or "genderless" or whatever?

[Vicky.]

Transsexual is someone with sex dysphoria.

Transgender is everything from transsexual people to males with autogynephilia to crossdressers to even just feminine men or masculine women. Transgender is a ridiculously wide catchall phrase that means absolutely **** all as near every one of us comes under 'transgender' in some way.

What I gathered is transsexual only means transsexual but transgender means lots of different things including transsexual?

Gotcha, transgender is the umbrella, transexuals are actually trans.

Because they can dress however they want and it’s nothing to do with you?

[Crimson Dynamo]

So what's is a Transformer?

[Gusto Brunt]

It's all gone disastrously wrong for India.
