I was just wondering what some of you might think about what SOME people prefer to call transsexuals. I've seen a porno site or two that seems to think that a transsexual is a guy with tits and presents fem. There's NEVER a person that's had a full sex change. And they call them a "chick with a dick", when they are clearly guys with tits! A "chick with a dick" is someone that was born female, except that she also has what looks like a dick, a hermaphrodite, basically. As far as I know, a transsexual is someone that once WAS one sex, but has now had an operation to become the other sex.

Transsexual doesnt mean only post op. But I would dispense entirely with the porn sites as a point of reference on transgenderism. Mother exist to sell sexualized imagery to guys who get off on that sort of thing. It's the stuff of fantasy, far from the reality of Ts or TG people.

Many TS and many TG will live all or most of their lives as women, without benefit of surgery and in some cases without HRT...sometimes for health reasons. They are equally and appropriately included under the transgender umbrella.
