Pre-op refers to the fact that a person with transsexualism has not yet had surgery to change their sexual organs from what they are presently to what they will be when they are done. Surgery costs a lot of money, and psychiatrists require a year of living as a person of the opposite sex BEFORE getting the reassignment surgery, so there is always a period of time where they are caught between worlds: male parts but female appearance or female parts and male appearance.

A pre-op transsexual person is someone who hasn't undergone sexual reassignment surgery. They still have the genitals they were wrongly born with.

Post-op is after the reassignment surgery (they now have the parts of the sex opposite to what they were declared at birth). Most of the time, the person doesn't consider themselves transsexual anymore and simply wants to assimilate into a gender binary world.

Can a transsexual man get arrested for hitting a woman?

Yes, of course they can. Your sex and gender identity are not excuses for assault. If the transsexual person is male-to-female preop (not had surgery yet) or female-to-male postop (had surgery), they may even get a sentence enhancement. ANY person, regardless of gender, can assault another person. Physical violence against another person is illegal, regardless of the genders of the parties involved.

Do transsexuals have testicles?

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 But do not quote me on this.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.
