Is Tgirl a better word - and should that become the norm?

[BellaBellucci]

Again... you THINK you're hurting me by throwing this word around like it is an insult (and your word game referenced in a previous post is stupid - you intended it as an insult). You are not... and quite frankly, it is not. Like I've already stated, I am secure in the individual PERSON I am and content enough to live within the confines that MY life has with it right now.

From the business perspective (I'll address the personal nature of your attack in a completely new thread following), in the 8+ years that I have run my site using the term "Tgirl", do you know how many complaints I have had from a former Member or someone saying it is false advertising and wanting a refund? NONE.

In the 8+ years that I have run my site using the term "Tgirl", do you know how many negative comments, etc. I have received on my blog, etc. saying that I'm "just a crossdresser" ? TWO (and yes, i keep track of these things).The subject has almost never even been brought up by men at all actually. Instead, I find those who should be "tolerant" towards an actual POSITIVE representative of the industry, the TG community at large, and just as a person in general, to be the most intolerant - yourself, and other Transsexuals like you, who for some reason have this chip on your shoulder towards anyone who doesn't fit into your idea of what "Transsexualism" is.

YOU ARE THE INTOLERANT ONE AND THE BIGOT HERE - AWAKEN TO THAT FACT.

Round and round and round we go...

I'm a woman. You're not. If that hurts you, then maybe you should transition instead of appropriating terms that don't belong to you.

Bye Felicia.

Pointed and direct questions for Bella.

Answer here and now - directly without using any outside links, quotes, or etc. In other words, think about what you're going to write and say it in your own words because you will be held accountable to it.

I'm so sick and tired of people talking about issues they never, themselves, define in writing. So, stop sidestepping, dodging, and let's have this out once and for all.

What is a "Transsexual" ?

If not at birth, when does one become a "Transsexual" ?

Can you "become", by altering your body, "Transsexual" ?

What is the difference between being Transgender and being Transsexual?

Look, I know you're too much of a coward to answer these questions directly because I think you have just enough sanity left to realize you are an utter fraud when it comes to defining and understanding the terms yourself, besides being able to repost memes and quote academics who have viewpoints that support your thought processes.

But, I'm giving you this chance. Answer the above questions... clearly and directly, one-by-one. Take as much time as you'd like and use as much space as you'd like.

Funny. A few pages back you were demanding empirical evidence. Once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite.

What is the difference between being Transgender and being Transsexual?

Biological, legal, and social permanence in the changes of one's gender expression as well as a loss of male privilege. A 'part-timer' has none of those.

Look, I know you're too much of a coward to answer these questions directly

Pretty sure I just did. The name calling is unnecessary, especially considering that it's my LACK of cowardice and propensity for saying whatever I'm thinking sans filter that always seems to get me into trouble.

Ironic, much?

YOU'RE the coward. You're afraid to give up your male life to transition, but yet you still demand the same treatment and respect as a woman that a transsexual receives. That's kind of like saying, 'I took a few courses in college, so I deserve the respect that a PhD receives.' Well, you don't. Such respect is EARNED, not given willy nilly.

I prefer Tgirl as well...and I consider it to be short for Transgender girl.

and i consider "tranny" short for transsexual

[nysprod]

Education: It seems like using "trans" is acceptable as in trans woman or trans girl...and I like the word transfeminine rather than tranny or Tgirl...but then again I'm just a dude as Miranda says so what do i know.

'Transition: the process of changing one's gender expression to match their gender identity.' This implies permanence. What permanent changes has Krissy made?

The answer is none.

I have NOTHING against CD's. I have plenty against CD's who want people to think they're transsexual.

I'd also argue that SRS does indeed change one's sex. A pre-op transwoman on hormones is gender female and sex mixed. A post-op is gender female, sex female. A CD is gender male, sex male, with the occasional inclination to dress as the opposite sex and play pretend.

It implies nothing...Krissy is presenting herself as she chooses...she's not trying to make people think anything of the sort.

Oh? Then why does this person get so butthurt when I point out that they're a CD? They ARE a CD! If they're so proud, they shouldn't have to demand the same consideration of womanhood that a transsexual should receive. They should just say, 'yeah, I'm a man who likes to wear women's clothes and I don't care what you think about it.'

You know damn well you meant to attack and slur Krissy so stop with the bullshit.

Absolutely wrong. I've made my views on CD's QUITE clear. I respect their right to be what they are. I don't respect their opinion that I should treat them as if they're something else.
