Sweetie
You miss the point
If you are are transsexual the overwhelming urge would be too strong too resist , hence my view your not, although labels are not liked by some , they can be important ,

Also your twin sister here has had gid anxiety reduced with pm,

Cross dreamers, transgenderists, agp sufferers, can benefit from pm or low dose synthetics, for a transsexual only transition but not always srs suffices.

Now girls, don't fight!

From a strictly etymological view point, Bryony is more or less correct in her interpretation of the two words TG and TS ( although there is a difference between " sex" and "gender" so I guess that technically trans - sexual means' across sex' which presumably ought to mean 'bi-sexual'? ). However for convenience we need labels however blurred the edges ( and that in itself can cause confusion, I know) because otherwise we have to define exactly what we mean every time we try to say something - its a kind of verbal shorthand if you like.

My labels/verbal shorthand are much like Julie's in this area. I use "TS" as a convenient way of referring to "those individuals whose sense of gender dysphoria is so strong that they are driven to full blown gender reassignment surgery.".... see? "TS" is a lot quicker and easier than writing that lot every time I need to refer to TS.

OTOH, "TG" is a bit vaguer I admit, because it does get used not only for us 'inbetweenies' but also TV's, CD's etc, but then again I guess the TV/CD's are really inbetweenies anyway, perhaps just not quite as driven as those of us who want to grow boobs.

At the end of the day, the label actually doesn't matter, its the internal knowledge of who/what we are that matters.
