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.
A transsexual person can only carry or father children before surgery. After surgery, they no longer have functional gonads.
You don't.
Whether transsexual men (female-to-male) have periods depends on if they are taking hormones or have had surgery. If they are taking testosterone, they won't menstruate. If they have had surgery, they certainly won't menstruate.If you are misusing the term "transsexual men" to refer to male-to-female transsexual persons, no, transsexual women won't ever menstruate, since they were born lacking ovaries and a uterus.
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.
You don't. You do that to a gay man, and a transsexual woman is not a gay man. Besides, if you want to have sex with a transsexual woman, you can wait until after surgery and do it in the front just like with any other woman.
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.
Yes. Transsexual men can have babies before transition. Transsexual women can father children before transition. After surgery, when their transsexualism is eliminated, they become sterile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
