Can a transsexual person reproduce or have children after surgery?

No, because the surgery removes the reproductive organs and does not create nor transplant new ones. Male to female sex reassignment surgery involves removing the testes and using the skin of the penis and scrotum to create a vagina. There would be no internal female sex organs. Female to male sex-reassignment involves a total chest reduction, a hystero-oophoro-salpingectomy (removal of all internal female parts), and sometimes phalloplasty to create a penis.
Transsexual persons can usually reproduce before surgery, though not in the preferred role.

Can a transsexual person have babies?
A transsexual person can only carry or father children before surgery. After surgery, they no longer have functional gonads.
What is the difference between a post op transsexual and a pre op transsexual?
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.
When transsexual men correct their bodies do they get artificial male genitals or are they made from their own bodies?
The majority of the tissue that is used is from their own body, however often implants are used in the place of testicles. Do keep in mind that if a person is of the type that gets surgery, they are transsexual, not transgendered. After surgery, they are neither transsexual nor transgendered, but just a man. Also, you cannot "become" a man. They are a "transsexual man" before surgery and just a man after. The gender after "transsexual" ALWAYS refers to who the person is, not their body. What makes a TS man a man is inborn in their brain and soul and has nothing to do with the body. To call them a woman denies who the real person inside is.
What is a pre op transexual?
Pre-op indicates that the transsexual person has not yet had sex reassigment surgery.
What are synonyms of transsexual?
A transsexual is a person having a strong desire to assume the physical characteristics and gender role of the opposite sex or someone who has undergone hormone treatment and surgery to attain the physical characteristics of the opposite sex. As such, there are no synonyms for transsexual.
What is the meaning of a post op transsexual?
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.
Can a transsexual person get married legally?
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.
How can a transsexual woman get a woman pregnant?
If a transsexual woman was born with a male body and had sexual relations with a female before her sex reassignment surgery (and preferably before hormone usage), then she has the same possibility as anyone else at getting the female pregnant.However, if a transsexual man was born with a female body and had sex reassignment surgery to become physically male, and had sexual relations with a female after the surgery, then no he cannot get a woman pregnant.Usage notes: Transsexuals and transgender are not the same thing. If someone will eventually get surgery, transsexual is the correct term, while if the person will never get surgery, transgender is the correct therm. People are born with transsexualism and get surgery to eliminate it. However, most transgenderism is a choice, and a transgender person doesn't become a transsexual. Transsexual persons get surgery to eliminate their transsexualism, conform, and gain the same rights as those born without it. Also, sex-reassignment is the correct term, since it is the physical sex that is changed, not the gender identity the person was born with. If a person discusses the condition of transsexualism, it is rude and in bad form to change the topic to transgenderism.
Is it okay to date a pre-op transsexual?
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.
Does it make you transsexual if you get a sex-reassignment surgery?
This depends on semantics and opinions. Technically, you wouldn't be a transsexual person anymore if you had sex-reassignment, since that is the goal, to eliminate transsexualism and live in a way that is acceptable to oneself and society. Think of it this way, would you be a cancer patient if you had surgery to completely remove the cancer?Some people are confused on this. They think a transsexual person is a transgender person who has had surgery. But consider this. Maybe transsexual persons and transgender persons are of a different kind, where TS persons have a conflict with their body, while non-op TG types have a conflict with society. So the transsexual person claims to be born with transsexualism and gets the surgery and considers themselves "cured." They get surgery to eliminate the discrepancy between the mind or nature and the body, and thus eliminate the conflict. Non-op transgender types either started without a conflict, or their conflict was of another kind, like a conflict with society rather than their own body.
What makes a man beome transsexual?
Actually, nobody becomes a transsexual. More than likely, you are born with transsexualism, and the transition is to eliminate the condition. See, who a person is has nothing to do with the body. So if the person and their body are not congruent, then hormones and surgery is needed to make them congruent.
Can a transsexual man get arrested for hitting a woman?
Yes, a transsexual man can be arrested for hitting a woman if the action constitutes assault or any other criminal offense. Legal consequences apply regardless of the individual's gender identity. The focus is on the behavior and its legality, not the person's gender identity.
