No. In fact, it is best if you are not "transgender." Sex reassignment is for people born with transsexualism, not people merely manifesting some form of "transgenderism." Many, if not most, transgender people love their original genitals and use them sexually. Instead, you had better be born with the condition of transsexualism. Transsexualism is not something you do or become, but something you use hormones and surgery to get rid of.
Now, there are people who don't actually have transsexualism who get the surgery. Many TGs are not honest with themselves and get the TS-only procedure of SRS by mistake. They may feel a need to compete with actual TS women who need the surgery. But then there are the TG types and even gay men who know they don't have transsexualism and who have stable personal reasons for wanting the surgery.
The main thing the surgeons look at is if the person meets the standards of care. And therapists these days are flexible enough to approve even nonstandard types of patients as long as they are confident the surgery will do more good than harm.
Whatever sex they prefer to be called. The technical term is transgender.
Transgender people are born either male or female. The transgender people feel that they were born in the wrong bodies and usually undergo a sex change operation.
Try having sex with him...
Yes, if the transgender woman still has a penis and testicles and has sex with someone who was assigned female at birth.
It means that you have a transgender orientation.
Well, if you want to be a girl, that makes you a transgender by nature. There are sex change operations, but you can't get pregnant.
Oh, dude, absolutely! Gender identity is a complex thing, and anyone, regardless of their assigned sex at birth, can identify as transgender. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - it just doesn't work. So, if a girl identifies as transgender, that's totally valid and real. Just be cool and respect people's identities, man.
This question is very nonspecific. You may want to specify what exactly it is you're wondering; for example, how do you come out to your parents? What steps do I need to take to get a sex change? I hope you find the answer you're looking for!
Both Cher and her transgender daughter Chaz Bono publicly support same-sex marriage.
Being transgender isn't something someone wants, it is something you are - just like being cisgender. Your body is that of your sex or gender, you don't have to go through hormone treatment or surgery when you are transgender - transgender means your gender is not that which was assigned at birth.
To ensure you understand how serious this decision is and to be sure you're ready for it.
Transgender individuals live part- or full-time in a gender role opposite to their genetic sex.
