Shemales are just men... don't take my word for it

I am not a man , but I have a wiener

Sorry to come off sounding ignorant, but I don't think I am. Physically, she has changed her gender, although mentally she hasn't. Genitalia is considered the primary sexual characteristic. All the other stuff that hits during puberty - in the case of a woman, breasts, differences in facial shape, wider hips, etc - those are secondary sexual characteristics. I looked at the video and she's calling herself a guy and I'm thinking, no you're not. What's her chromosomal make up? Who knows? I don't think it matters. I think the words sex and gender lead to confusion when they are used interchangeably, because as transgendered people show, the two things can be separated.

I changed my sex... Transgeder is the umbrella, I consider and know I am a woman and changed my sex... Transgender is the wide spectrum, but transexual are very different... The title of this thread is ignorant in the first place, nobody calls a transexual or transgender a she-male unless it is used derogatory in porn... If a man would call me a ladyboy, she-male, etc I would take of my christian loubuitins and knock your ass out! its highly offensive!

No they are changing their sex... Ts have always been women by gender, born male by sex... Sex is genital and secondary characteristic influenced... Big difference... That is they do change their sex, but they never changed gender...

FYI DNA and chromosomes biologically are imperfect, imperfection is normal, many sex born women have been proven to carry male chromosomes or even test male by blood sample but carry every female reproductive organ.... Stop being so ignorant people, test a true transexuals woman's blood there are its bound to be just xy chromosomes most likely, The world is not black and white. Millions of people around the world have defects of any type from blood, mental, genitals, chromosomes, hormones etc the is why people like us exist because there is something going on in our bodies that you do not know about...

If someone was born with 6 fingers, is it wrong to cut the extra off just to fit in what your suppose to be?
If you have cancer is it wrong to go under radiation just because its not normal and was scientifically made?
Are you suppose to just let a tumor grow? No we treat it, that is why biology also has science.

We ts woman change our sex because it's not right we have an abnormality! Get it? got it? good...

This is a very complex and multifaceted issue.

Up to 1 in 20,000 women actually have a 46,XY karyotype (i.e., male). This occurs in the setting of androgen insensitivity syndrome (the receptor for testosterone does not work, so despite high levels of testosterone, it cannot exert an effect on the body). So, a penis does not form during development. However, the testes still produce other compounds such as Mullerian inhibiting factor, which prevents the higher female urogenital tract, including the uterus, from forming. Overall, they tend to be tall (due to a Y chromosome effect), have very little body hair (due to an inability of testosterone to exert its effect), have a normal lower vagina, have undescended testes, have normal to large breasts (still have estrogen production by the testes which promotes this, but no androgen effect which would block this). From a mental standpoint, they usually identify as women and have a "female-type" brain.

Transgender conditions are poorly understood. They are very likely heterogenous and likely involve some hormonal based effects as well as some psychological effects... e.g., early life androgen exposure, function of the androgen receptor, etc. Studies have shown some differences in brain structures as well. Overall, what mainly counts is how the individual feels and how he or she identifies with a particular gender.

The ts population in the world is very small, not as much as one may think...Chromosomes imbalance is one example, another to get complicated are hermaphrodites when there is an extra genitalia part belonging to another sex, usually they change the gender to the dominant genitals, yet there have been studies that the same person didn't feel like the gender they were assigned... the brain says one thing the body states another... You can't get brain transplant or you will die, the only solution is to undergo hrt and surgery. I have a female brain, but the genitals i am born with is not what I am assigned to be, so the only cure is hrt and surgery if need... I'ts not a complicated thing, but you complicate things when you say were men...

[Ignatuis]

Evon, your problem is that you have an extra chromosome. You silly little retard.

"You can't get a brain transplant or you will die..."
Really? I didn't know brain transplants weren't possible. Are you sure?

You're an idiot regardless if you identify yourself as a man or woman.

You misspelled Ignatius and you missed the middle initial. And based on your repeated actions, you missed the main point of the book.

Fat and slovenly as well, I bet. Live with your mom still, berating her all the while?

You are a one-man Confederacy of Dunces.

Seriously, dude- what kind of damage have you suffered?

Ah...somebody already had Ignatius as their username, so I switched the i and u around. And, Mister Reilly was quite fond of lambasting contemporary entertainment—remember his trips to the movie house and his critique of the teen dancing program? Furthermore, he was also homophobic.

I'm not, nor have I ever been, a homophobe, and I'm not a fat Don Quixote type, who is overeducated, and still lives with his mom.

[Teydyn]

But you seem to be no more then just an angry sockpuppet. Who's hand is up your behind?

Just kidding I'm no genius, but my detractors tend to be booger eating spazzes!
And, in all reality, I'm only berating a pseudo intellectual that is under the impression they are smart (Evon).

The genderID in my brain is that of a female and this was the case from the moment I was born...
Inside I am a very typical female... If my body would have been correct, I would have been married now and had children and there would be nothing unusual about me.

But since my body developed the wrong way in the womb... I have become a puppeteer.... I do not identify with my body but I live with it (and sometimes around it), and live with the social and sexual conscequences, I changed it, but it will never be perfect and all my friends, family and lovers will have to deal with the fact that I am TS.

Therefor a potential lover will have to love 3 instead of one. The woman I am on the inside... The TS I am on the outside... and the fact that I was born in the body of a boy and was socialised as one in my childhood years.

I can understand Ellery, I also feel that I can never become a woman in this life... (I already was one) and that I have to deal with the fact that I have the body of a male (at least in part).

Also it helps me to identify as a boy, because when it comes down to it... its a matter of faith for other people to believe in your excistence or not... By identifying as male I protect myself from harm, coz its something no one can debate about coz that's a fact.

I dont see why I should let other people mess with the most precious part of every human beeing, the soul. If they dont respect it... sure, I will be a male for you.

A lot of guys and tlovers truely believe we are men... and you try a few times but after a while you just stop defending yourself.
you are not sharing my bed.
