but even under his outdated scale, you do not have to transition to be a transsexual. Indeed, his first criteria is gender feeling.
Type Four: Transsexual (Nonsurgical)
Gender Feeling: Undecided. Wavering between TV and TS.
Dressing Habits and Social Life: Dresses as often as possible with
insufficient relief of his gender discomfort. May live as a man or woman sometimes alternating.
Type Five: True Transsexual (moderate intensity)
Gender Feeling: Feminine (trapped in male body)
Dressing Habits and Social Life: Lives and works as woman if possible.
Under either of those categories, a person can be transsexual and not be full time. That would make them just a crossdresser to some on here. But not Dr Benjamin or his successors.
Under the Benjamin Scale, you are also apparently only a "True transsexual" if you want SRS and I think a lot of girls might take offense to the idea they are "false" or in anyway less of a transsexual because they choose not to undergo that surgery.

perhaps primarily because they haven't gone into it with realistic expectations.
For me it has been a good thing.
I have often expressed how unhappy I was with a penis.
Additionally, post operatively it has allowed me career opportunites that
I might not have had.
Yes my identification had 'F' on it prior to my SRS, and I was able to work
at a regular job, but the thought of a physical at work, or sharing a hotel
room with a co-worker, filled me with dread.
Now legally I am female with all the rights, privileges inherent to that. I
don't have to seek ENDA / GENDA protection or state protection afforded
to the transgendered.
Ladies, and gentleman, when I transitioned in the 'bad old days', my goal
decades ago was to assimilate, to be part of the mainstream.
I can humbly say that for the most part I have obtained that goal.

I'll keep this simple. Should there be a separate thread? I could care less. But there is now way in hell a cd is the same as a TS. We may be cousins but we are not sisters. Its not about the boobs, hips, or any other surgery. It's about the brain...
"Of all losses, time is the most irrecoverable for it can never be redeemed.”
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. "

I also treat other members of the community with respect too. Even when they do things to me or to others that are disrepectful. I think with all I have written on this ugly subject of labels, my real position on all this is clear. If you want to consider yourself straight feel free to do so. And if you want to consider your actions and attractions as non-homsexual, do so. but don't claim they are strictly heterosexual either. Don't force labels that don't fit on your actions or on others actions. Live and let live, or Label and let label. If you want to show your respect and reverance for transsexuals, thre are better ways to do so than by dissing others or by trying to draw distinctions when the ink in that pen is so runny.

Sexual orientation for the most part has become a moot point as a
determining criteria for transsexualism.
I also agree with you that transvestic fetishism: a sexual attraction
towards the clothing of the opposite gender, is a paraphilia listed in the
DSM-IV-TR, and is not tied to gender identity.
On the point of 'True' transsexuals, no that might not be the most PC term
but there needs to be some system to delineate the intensity felt by the
individual.
And no that does not mean that the women who isn't desirous of GRS is
less of a woman than the one who does seek it out.
But rather this may guide the clinician in their course of treatment.
So yes the Benjamin gender disassociation scale needs to updated, I
would daresay that the Benjamin Standards Of Care need revision as
well, but I don't think we should throw the baby out with the bath water.
At least until we get something better to guide us, and the Blanchard /
Bailey paradigm ain't it.

That was directed at the topic, not any poster. This is a long dead subject.
Over and out.
