Emotional Similarity of Transgendered Indiviuals To GG's

[sunairco]

One of the many statements that I see repeated is that Transgendered women knew since childhood that they were the opposite gender trapped in the wrong body to paraphrase. Aside from the transitioning process, whether it began at a very early age and supported or in later life, there should be no difference in the core perception of contextual reality between a TS and a GG if this is true. It doesn't take specialized training to discern this, especially for a GG. In it's most elemental terms, women perceive and interpret their enviornment,emotions, and their surroundings very differently then men. This cognitive ablility is separate from socialization and is neurologically hard wired. This occurs due to hormonal influences in the womb and has no realtionship to HRT after birth once the neural net of the brain is defined.

Could we have any genuinely honest input from any of our ladies here?

The female perspective, in my view, can be described as 'hard-wired,' hormonal, and societal. In it's most basic form, it's knowing what you like without peer influence - being attracted towards feminine things and people. Children don't have sex hormones yet, so they obviously don't make for male or female at a young age, so my take on it is that the hard-wiring comes first and then when the 'incorrect' sex hormone begins to be produced in the body it forces one to make a decision about whether or not to do anything about it.

At this point, the psychological issues are fixed but the hormonal and social are mutable, leading one to a long period of introspection in which they decide which way they want to go. Usually the social pressures of adolescence force one to choose not to do anything about the hormonal issues until they become adults. Sometimes circumstances (read: even more social pressures) drag it out longer into adulthood than many transwomen would like.

Like GG's, but for a different reason, it's very difficult for us transwomen to reconcile and find a balance between the responsibility to one's self and one's responsibility to others. All of that plus identity and physical appearance issues make us a lot like GG's, but being trans adds a superfluous layer of complication.
