What are some specific dreams along with interpretations?
1. A transsexual woman dreamed about being on a bus or train. At one point, the vehicle nearly became derailed. Eventually, she reached the station or terminal. She left along with a handful of people. Some were non-op transgender persons, and she was the only transsexual person who was on the train. The group all walked down a path that went around behind the depot. There was a burned out orphanage and some construction rubble and electrical scrap on the ground. The dreamer picked up an electrical outlet and put it in her pocket or purse. While the transgendered persons continued on, she turned around and started walking back toward the track, apparently to continue her journey.Here is a possible interpretation. The train and the track represented her journey through life. To the dreamer, the path was just a stop on the way. For the others, that stop was their life. To a transsexual, their transition is only a stop in their life, not a place to stay. To nonop TG persons who are part of the LGBT and have a transgendered culture, transition often is their life. The burned orphanage could have represented a bad childhood or tragedy in general. The wall socket might have represented the dreamer's work or interests. Her return to the train meant that she had worked on whatever, received what support she needed, and was ready to continue her life as female in a mainstream context. The fact that she returned alone shows how lonely life is for transsexuals who identify as Mainstream, not as transgender nor a part of the LGBT Community.
Where is the best place to meet an American transsexual?
There really isn't. A transsexual woman is a woman born wrongly into a male body, and they hate that body, and nearly every genuine MtF transsexual person will eventually go on to get the surgery to stop being a transsexual (FtM TS guys have less satisfactory options and often only get up to 2/3 of their procedures). That is the goal of the transition, to stop having transsexualism and to "cure" it if you will. That is not the same as recreational MtF transgenderism where healthy men choose to vary their gender and create difference where it previously never existed, or only existed in subtle amounts. So if a person genuinely has transsexualism, they will want their original parts gone and want to blend into the world of cisgender people, and they won't want others to know. It is not about shame, but about doing what is natural and living in the *same* level of privilege that everyone born in the correct gender has. Just because some "birth defect" stole things from you, it doesn't mean society has a right to compound that damage, create double standards for you, and deprive you of your natural needs that are the same as others of your corrected gender. Now, what you might be looking for are male-born nonop transgender persons. The men in drag with their penises exposed in pornographic magazines rarely have transsexualism. The pornographic industry misuses the term transsexual to refer to some fictional "third gender" and blurs gender lines, when that has nothing to do with diagnosed transsexualism. Since what you are looking for are more likely to be gay men who dress in drag, the best place to look would be in gay clubs.
What is a transgender?
A "transgender" is a way to say "transgendered person." It is not a term for a "transsexual" person (someone born with the need to get corrective genital surgery). There are various definitions of transgender and they are adjectives: they describe people as in "That person is transgendered." One definition is based on the idea that gender is not black and white, boy/girl, 1 or 0. In this definition, no one is all of anything, everyone is a mix, and there are even times in life where the %'s change based on the need of the individual. Look at prison life: most of the individuals that go in and come out are heterosexual, but while in prison the power struggle and lack of available females apparently cause a lot of homosexual behavior but the basic orientation still remains heterosexual. Transgendered in this case means that a person doesn't think they (or just doesn't) fit society's binary system. In the end, this definition of transgender would explain people's behavior better than the "male/female" only theory. Another definition is someone who deliberately lives in a way opposed to their physical sex. For example, if a person is born with female genitalia and wants to keep it, but expresses and feels that they are a boy mentally, then they are transgender. Transsexual and transgender is not the same thing since the term transsexual is only applicable to those born with a need to correct their genitals, while most transgender people desire to keep their original genitalia. A person is born with transsexualism, and after surgery, they are no longer transsexual, and have never been transgendered. It is a hurtful myth to say that a person becomes transsexual after surgery. The whole idea of the surgery is to stop having transsexualism and to get on with life as if they never had the condition. Transgender usually means someone who born one biological sex, but doesn't feel like they fit into that category, but who rarely get surgery. Transgender individuals usually do not identify with their biological sex. Transgender and transexual are two different categories because most transgender people do not have surgery to physically change their sex. Transsexuals are in the process of physically changing their sex. Transgender has more to do with how the individual identifies themselves (gender identity) rather than biological sex. Another definition is political in nature and refers to anyone who considers themselves as different in terms of sex or gender. Many transsexual persons refuse to be lumped in with the TG Community, but others like nonop TG persons or see political value in working together. The term transsexual relates to persons who have a gender (mental description) that is the opposite of the physical sexual organs of birth. This group is assigning the word transsexual to describe the state of having a gender that doesn't match your physical sex. In these cases, societies believe that gender and sex only come in 2 flavors, male/man female/woman. They ascribe to the idea that there are only these 2 modalities. A transsexual woman is not transgender because she was supposed to have a vagina. She was born with a female brain, and a feminine soul, and was supposed to be born with a vagina. But a typical transgender woman was really supposed to be born with a penis and live as a man, as evidenced by their lack of need for surgery.
How do you change a speed sensor on a 1998 Aurora?
there are 4 speed sensors in each wheel hub that detect the wheel speed to correlate with your abs or traction control.... if any of the sensors are defective or nonop your light will come on on the dash and the abs or traction control may not work properly. i got quoted 600$ to repair the lr on my 96 aurora,, so i am trying to get the instructions on how to do it myself. so if you find out let me know,,,, randy there are 4 speed sensors in each wheel hub that detect the wheel speed to correlate with your abs or traction control.... if any of the sensors are defective or nonop your light will come on on the dash and the abs or traction control may not work properly. i got quoted 600$ to repair the lr on my 96 aurora,, so i am trying to get the instructions on how to do it myself. so if you find out let me know,,,, randy
