Question For The Ladies on BEING a TS (only ladies)
Settle this ongoing back and forth debate. It kind of took over another topic and got things going a different way (sorry original poster)
One HAer says that a person is not a TS until they have done work to thier bodies or achieved changes to thier bodies by the use of hormones.
Me, I say that a TS is a TS long before any of that. I think most people who really and truly are TS are almost (if not) from birth. I think the moment that you knew in your heart and your head that you were a female that you were a TS (if not before). I don't think the changes that you make to your body are what makes a TS a TS.
I've never read a clinical diiscussion of transsexuality that said made the distinction that this other poster made.
I've even read discussions of very specific distinct physical differences in some TS women, be it chromosonal, hormonal or even in the make up of some TS women's brains (that existed from birth).
From everything that I have read the hormones and work are just an ends to a means. Ends to make the changes that you feel you need to become and live as a woman not a TS.
So I ask you this, when were you a "TS".

Who the fuck knows. Who cares. Clinical definitions are clinical definitions. As far as I'm concerned, if they say they are ts, they are ts. If they say they are a woman, they are a woman. If they say they're a CD or Tv, they are. If you aren't attracted to them or are, who cares.
If they say they're not gay they aren't, if they say they are, they are.
The main question is do you like that person, are you attracted to them? If so who cares. If you are, are you gay? Do you think you are, then you are. Do you think you're not, then you're not.
AND FUCK ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WHO THINK OTHERWISE BECAUSE NO ONE REALLY KNOWS SHIT ABOUT ANYONE WHO POSTS HERE. Even if you think you know them or met them.
All rise, and go in Peace! :banghead

Cosign. Given how fucking complex life is, why go to such lengths to make it even more complicated? Save the complex calculations for things that are important because this isn't. Do what works for you. It really is that simple.
