Re: Finally able to define what I like (or come close to it, atleast)
I wouldn't take that wikipedia article to seriously. I have read the research on which it is based. You'll find it here:
Amazon.com: Travesti: Sex, Gender, and Culture among Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes (Worlds of Desire: The Chicago Series on Sexuality, Gender, and Culture) (9780226461007): Don Kulick: Books@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41L0qpdNjbL.@@AMEPARAM@@41L0qpdNjbL
Don Kulick is not a native Brazilian.. he's actually a Swede, and among methodological problem he admits to is... he didn't even speak the language! (Spanish? Portuguese? I don't know the difference). He is also a professor of "gender studies" at Stockholm university, and as such might be ideologically biased on seeing both gender identity and sexuality as social constructs. He is further an out gay man.
Whether travestis identify as gay men, or women.. I don't know, but I wouldn't take Don Kulick's word on it. Perhaps someone here knows better.. Travesti should never be translated into transvestite though. The best equivalent to western culture would still be to call them non-op ts, or tg.
