Actually, "transsexual woman" would refer for to a TS woman before her surgery (pre-op) to get the female parts she believes she was always supposed to have. After surgery, a transsexual woman would be just a woman. The gender after the word transsexual always refers to how the person sees themselves and the body they believe they were supposed to have all along. It would be easier if people would think of transsexualism like a birth defect or medical condition. Instead of "men becoming women," it would be seen as women fixing a birth condition. Likewise with the transsexual men being men born with the wrong parts rather than women becoming men. Just like a diabetic woman is considered a woman, why can't a TS woman be seen as a woman who was born with this condition which robbed her of female parts and who needs surgery to eliminate this?

Post-op is used in the context of the transsexualism condition, not the transgendered lifestyle. Persons with transsexualism usually get the surgery eventually, while those with transgenderism usually do not. If someone is post-op, then technically, they are not a TS any longer, just a full member of their surgically corrected sex. Many assume the surgery to be medically unnecessary. However, those who genuinely have transsexualism need this surgery to prevent suicide, live the same lives as person born with the correct parts for their gender, be legally recognized as who they have always been, and to have the same lives as if they never had this condition. The surgery only changes the physical sex (the body) to the extent possible and has no bearing on gender (who you are). The official name for the corrective surgery is sex-reassignment, since it changes the body. Changing the gender would require brain surgery.

A transsexual person is the opposite gender of the sex their body was born with. A transsexual man was born with a 'female' body, a transsexual woman was born with a 'male' body. Pre-op, non-op, post-op has nothing to do with who you are. Surgery or the lack of it doesn't change who you are. The 'sex' label at the end relates to who you are, not what you have below. Those with transsexualism are either pre-op or post-op, while TGs are non-op.

Someone who genuinely has transsexualism will want the same parts as others with the same gender identity. Not all will be able to get surgery, but ability has nothing to do with motives nor desire. TG persons on the other hand don't typically identify with the "other gender" enough to want the corresponding parts for what they claim as their gender.

Transgenderism is more about gender role or expression than gender identity. A MtF transgender person lives as a woman and will likely keep male genitals for life. A FtM transgender person lives a partially masculinized life. However, it is polite to refer to them as the gender they are expressing. Why would someone waste money on a dress if they didn't want to be called female pronouns?

Can a transsexual make a girl pregnant?

A transsexual woman, who is a woman born into a male body, can impregnate a girl if she still possesses her male genitalia, and has not been rendered infertile by estrogen and anti-androgens. Since transsexual men are born with female genitalia, they cannot impregnate women.


Can a transsexual man really get pregnant?

Yes. Since transsexual men are born with female genitals and internal female sex organs, they can get pregnant before transition. That is how the two known cases of transsexual male pregnancy occurred. They quit taking male hormones and allowed their periods to return. To prevent confusion, try to remember that when someone is referred to as a man or a woman, it has nothing to do with the body. It is who they are inside as a person and what genitals they were supposed to have. A transsexual woman was supposed to have a vagina while a transsexual man was supposed to have a penis, and nature robbed them of the proper parts. Also, try to remember to use male or female to refer to the body, and man or woman to refer to the identity and social role. Thus a transsexual woman starts out anatomically male, and a transsexual man starts out anatomically female. However, due to the original wording of this question, someone might have been referring to the original sex. If you were born without female parts, you cannot get pregnant, and thus transsexual women can never become pregnant unless female reproductive organs were somehow transplanted.
