A Post Op Transsexual is a person who has surgically changed their gender. The phrase "Post Op" is used to show that the person has undergone physical surgery, or is Post the Operation. Generally, when a person is looking to change their gender, they are required to go through months of hormone therapy and gender reassignment therapy before the physical operation is complete.
Post-op is after the reassignment surgery (they now have the parts of the sex opposite to what they were declared at birth). A pre-op transsexual person is someone who hasn't undergone sexual reassignment surgery. They still have the genitals they were wrongly born with.
No.
Post means after (pre is before), and op is short for an operation (surgery), so it refers to a transsexual person who has had the corrective surgery. Transsexuals are not transgendered, but even if they were, they would stop being transgendered after the surgery, and would be social and legal members of their corrected sex.
A post-op transsexual refers to a person born with transsexualism who had their condition corrected with surgery. So the transsexual woman is just a woman afterwards. Likewise, the TS man is just a man. A pre-op TS is a person who was born with transsexualism (who is not merely transgendered) who will someday get the surgery. There is also a non-op TG who people often mistakenly call a non-op TS. That is a man who lives as a woman, or a woman who lives as a man, and who intends on never getting surgery. They are likely not transsexual at all. That is not the same as a pre-op TS who is living in poverty or who is in bad health. The fact they would get surgery if they could would make such persons pre-ops.
A transsexual is a human wishing to change from female to male, or the other way around. When performed under supervised conditions this transition is done in steps, last step being surgery on their genitals, to make them match the gender they are switching to. A post-op transsexual is simply a person who've undergone all the exams, the hormone therapy and also had that operation.
Yes and no it depends on the state. Most states will allow a post-op transsexual marry a person of the opposite sex of their new gender and will still honor a marriage previous to gender reassignment surgery.
This depends on a lot of things. When saying "transsexual", you need to clarify what kind of transsexual they are. Are the pre-operative or post-operative, and are they Male-to-Female, or Female-to-Male? Pre-op MTFs have working male genitals, so yes. Pre-op FTMs have female genitals which do not include testes. Post-op MTFs have female genitals which do not include testes. Post-op FTMs have testes, but they do not work. They are there for show because surgical technology isn't advanced enough for FTMs yet. But do not quote me on this. I am a pre-op MTF. I haven't studied FTMs too much yet.
Pre-op indicates that the transsexual person has not yet had sex reassigment surgery.
No. This rumor was invented to marginalize and degrade her because of her beliefs and opinions.
In most cases, pre-op transsexual individuals are housed based on their biological sex, while post-op transsexual individuals are housed based on their identified gender. However, placement can be complicated and may vary depending on individual circumstances and prison policies.
Ordinarily, yes. This would however be contingent upon the legal recognition ofgender reassignment andsame sex marriages in the jurisdiction of residence.
Yes, it is perfectly fine, but not if you can only like them with their current genitalia. Some people form relationships with transsexual persons and can't take it when they get sex reassignment surgery. They don't understand the difference between a non-op transgender person who is satisfied with their genitalia and a pre-op transsexual person who needs surgery to feel whole and complete. You might have a fetish for a female-presenting person with a penis, but a genuine transsexual person doesn't want it, and to love someone for something about them they hate and want gone means that you are not really loving them.
