To Be A Transsexual You Must Be On Hormones

[Miss Fagina]

no to be transsexual technically all you have to be is DIAGNOSED

That is really like saying most kathoeys (ladyboys), tranvetis (Brazilian tgs), etc would not be transsexuals because they don't have a psychiatrist telling them they are so... this is of course not true.

On a side note, transsexual is what you do, not what you are. Anyone who lives as a woman 24/7 and wants to be accepted and respected as a woman is a transsexual to me.

Actually, "travesti" means transvestite or crossdresser not transsexual.

Thats all semantics. Some of the "travesti" girls consider themselves "travestis" while they take hormones and have surgeries... why? For many of them transsexual is the term used only when post-op. Basically... pre-op = travesti.... post-op = transsexual.

For all I know, the pre-op, post-op terminology is mostly used only in english.

false ...

many girls are unable to take hormone medication due to medical issues .. does this make them less of a woman .. of course it doesnt ...

Hormones on their own dont make a person a female, much like having a pair of boobs dont make you a female .. its a combination of things, lifestyle, most importantly how you live your life ...

Though from a Technical/Legal point of view its all about when your officaly diagnosed ..

but also remember some countries dont recognise TS or have anything to help them ... some of the more 3rd world countries compared to say usa/england/europe...i am unsure about thailand i think they do have something to help transsexuals i will ask my dr when i am in bangkok ina few months .

yes iran does but its more forced upon the people ... iran doesnt recognise homosexuality and is punishible by death ... so they tend to give people a choice to either change their gender or get killed thats what i read on some news sites anyway
