Rose whats with the TG and TS, bit.
Transgender
A person who's gender identity or gender expression does not match their anatomy or conform to social and cultural expectations. Transgender or "trans" is an umbrella term inclusive of all gender non-conforming children, youth and adults. The opposite of cisgender.
transsexual
A person who's distress over the incongruence between their gender identity and physical anatomy is strong enough to lead them to seek hormonal and/or physical changes to their body in order to bring their gender identity and anatomy into alignment.

The fact that transexual is missused and thought of to denote a porn star is wrong.

I see myself very much as a straight female. Whilst I have absolutely no problem with people being gay, I simply have no interest in gay men / clubs / scene etc. So, straight men only for me. Please form an orderly queue ...

Penny, thank you for your reply. I take your point about the assumptions some people make and act upon when they encounter a transgendered woman, which as you say amounts to disrespect.

Hi Cristine,
To put it a bit more simply:
All TS are TG, but not all TG are TS.
Best,

My experience convinces me that gay men are not, as a rule, remotely attracted to transgendered women. Ipso facto, this indicates that men who are attracted to transgendered women are not gay in the commonly understood sense of the word.

These were some GREAT posts. Thank you all for your inputs to this forum. I was having a bit of an identity crisis but now I understand much more who I am. I am not attracted to the genitalia but the personality. TS/TG's are so much more "real" as far as their attitudes and thought processes. That's where the attraction lies for me, not whether they have a willy and breasts or not.

My guy would want me to have a penis. But I don't have. Sometimes I think that you shouldn't have it cut off. Now, tell me, for the sake of his beloved, some of you would save the penis? It is possible transsexuals sufficient castration?

It is evident that society is becoming more and more aware of the exciting Crossdressing/transgender scene. Indeed even in the media, even some celebrities have "confessed" to enjoying the odd womans clothing.
So girls, get dressed and enjoy it!crossdress

Ok.....
There are a few issues with your statement;
1. This thread has been dormant for over 3 years so this is considered Threadomancy
2. Your statement does not add anything to the thread
3. This section of the forums are aimed at TG Admirers
4. I have my suspicians about trolling & spam...

Hey Matt
Since I have often thought that admirers are not really gay (I am the one that would like to be entered if I was in that kind of relationship) I am interested in what you mean and who's statement you are questioning?

Hi Maggie,
it was a response to the previous post which unfortunatly would seem to have many issues which I felt needed the response it had. I could choose to just hide the post but then would have to give concise reasons for this.

sometimes, the different labels people use are less about objective differences and more about the nature of their outlook and epistemology. A pragmatist verses an idealist may self label in different ways while essentially being very similar
Let people self identify as they wish, but don't assume that they are obliged to use words the same as you. You have to talk to them to understand them
