About transsexualism
_______________________________________________________________
Definitions
Please note
that these definitions are personal and that the exact meanings of these are
constantly debated among those involved.
It is human nature to want to alter definitions to include oneself, and
to paint oneself in the best light (or better than what one really is).
Androphilia: Taken literally, this sounds like it describes
love for men. The connotation is that
of someone believing they are a TS because they love men and want to be more
like a woman. Researchers often refer
to the type of transsexualism based on the person's physical parts before any
surgery. Androphilia is a condition
coined by Ray Blanchard and Michael Bailey.
It is supported by Dr. Anne Lawrence.
In their taxonomy system, there are only 2 types of TSs, androphiles and
autogynephiles (AKA non-androphiles).
I find this taxonomy system to be incomplete and degrading,
since it implies one has to either be a gay man who transitions in order to
satiate his guilt, or that one has to be a heterosexual male pervert who is
aroused by being seen as a woman. It is
funny that a person who calls herself a TS would support this. To most it is degrading, but apparently to
her, it is liberating. That is hard to
understand. Neither of these labels
support me nor what I term True-TSs.
Gender is the motive, not sex as this taxonomy system implies. The 3 involved with this debate all have
less than commendable sex lives. The
one who did the research allegedly slept with at least one of his
subjects. His book written on this
twisted everything she said into a sexual context in order to fulfill his
sexual fantasies. True-TSs will never
be regarded the same as GG women unless we stand as a community and denounce
the perversion and the self-serving agendas of Blanchard, Bailey, Lawrence, and
others.
Anne Lawrence: A person who had SRS surgery and has created
a system to loophole themselves in as a woman.
Studying their life, you will find it marked with arrogance, perversion,
and professional misconduct. They
performed an unauthorized exam on a patient and has approached patients during
exams in a sexual manner as alleged by Andrea James. There was an obsession with altered/mutilated genitalia. After getting the surgery, Anne was still
not fully accepted as a woman, and this was disillusioning. Anne was not even accepted among TSs, but
yet seemed to want to rule over them.
When they found the theories of Blanchard and Bailey, they jumped on the
bandwagon. After all, it seemed to be a
way of reconciling what they were with TSism and ultimately womanhood. On a voice surgery message board, one member
hypothesized that Anne refused to attempt to sound like a woman due to
internalized homophobia. That is one
thought, but makes no sense.
Autogynephiles are usually attracted to females. The same poster says that in order to sound
like a woman, one has to go through a "gay-sounding stage." That is funny since I never had such a
stage.
Anyway, the theories that Anne holds serve other purposes
besides legitimizing her femininity. It
is Anne's way of hijacking the TS label.
It serves as a form of revenge, even if it is only a passive-aggressive
form.
Autogynephilia: Literally, this is the self-love of being a
woman. The connotation is more one of a
fetish. This is a condition coined by
Ray Blanchard and Michael Bailey. It is
supported by Dr. Anne Lawrence. She is
a post-op, though we can argue if she was ever really truly a TS. She admits that she is an
autogynephile. Her professional ethics
and reputation are a bit spotty. Those
who transition later in life and maintain a love for women often fit into this
taxonomy classification of Blanchard and Bailey.
Coming Out: This can refer to several things. To a gay person, this refers to when they
discover they have gay feelings, and/or when they express this to others. To a TG or TS, this can refer to when they
have discovered they are TG/TS, when a TG/TS expresses this to others, or when
a TS begins to live full-time.
Cross-dresser: Also CD and CDer. A person who dresses as a member of the other sex, but has no
belief that they are the other sex, and who has no intentions of transitioning
to the other sex. This is not to be
confused with transsexuals. Some
transsexuals wrongly believe they are/were cross-dressers. In reality, it is impossible change from a
cross-dresser to a transsexual. Wives
have little to fear if their husband is a cross-dresser, since they will most
likely not divorce to pursue surgery or males.
Unlike a TS, a cross-dresser only dresses on occasion, and very often,
their dressing is exaggerated, lacking in skill, or driven by fetishes. One common archetype of CDers are those who
dress to relieve stress. They are often
obsessive-compulsive in nature or have a type-A personality, and they may live
an overly macho life.
Cross-dressing: The act of wearing clothes of the opposite
gender. Since bona-fide MtF TSs are
born with the gender of women, they are not cross-dressing when they dress as
women, and it is considered derogatory to say that they are doing so. TGs, CDers, and others *are* cross-dressing
when they dress as women.
Drab: DRessed As a Boy
Drag: DRessed As a Girl; originally a stage
direction since early theater was limited to males.
Drag King: A female who dresses as a male for
theatrical purposes.
Drag Queen: A male, often gay (but not always), who
dresses in an exaggerated parody of femininity as a form of protest or for
theatrical purposes.
FtM: Female-to-Male, a transsexual or
transgendered man, one who generally expects to be treated as a man. It is considered polite to refer to them
with male pronouns.
Full-Time: This is when a transsexual lives all the
time as a member of the gender they believe they are. About 9 months to 2 years of full-time living is required by most
surgeons who adhere to the Standards of Care before performing sex-reassignment
surgery.
Gaydar: The sense or feeling that another person is
gay.
Gendar: A form of intuition that tells a person that
another person is transgendered or transsexual. This could be either towards a person who has not yet
transitioned, a person who has transitioned, or a person who has
detransitioned.
Gender: Used here, it refers to one's identity, the
"sex" of the mind and/or soul if you will. Despite common usage, it is not the same thing as a person's
physical sex. It can even be opposite
of one's physical sex.
Gender
Identity: What a person
believes themselves to be in regards to gender. It is commonly believed that this does not change. Some hold that gender identity is God-given,
and that God created the soul as well as the body. If a person has lived for 30 years as a male, they could have
been doing so while possessing a female identity. Usually, there is some sort of gender leakage or other clues if
observers are keen to them.
Gender
Leakage: The signs and clues
a person gives off long before they transition. This is evidence of a gender that does not match the body. If a person doubts a person has always been
a woman inside, for instance, it could be that they misinterpreted any gender
leakage they may have seen.
Gender Role: How a person fits into society in regards to
gender. A number of aspects to this are
believed to be arbitrary and cultural.
Of course, not all aspects are, since that would not be Biblical, and
there would be no TSs. I mean, if
gender is completely a social construct, then how could a person be born with a
gender that does not match their body?
Why get surgery if a female gender is arbitrary since society sinking to
the lowest common denominator would deem femininity to be an appropriate
expression for a male?
Genetic Girl: A person who was born with female organs and
wishes to keep them, ie., a GG.
GG: Genetic Girl, ie., a person who was born
with female organs and wishes to keep them.
GRS: Gender Reassignment Surgery. I prefer Sexual Reassignment Surgery since I
hold that gender cannot be changed, just the physical sex to a limited
degree. As idiotic as GRS sounds, it is
what it is called in other parts of the world.
Maybe they could call it Genital Reassignment Surgery, or Gender
Reconciliation Surgery. Then they can
keep the abbreviation and have a more correct understanding behind it.
HRT: Hormone replacement therapy. In the context of transsexuals and
transgendered persons, this refers to other-sex hormones. So MtFs would take estrogen, and optionally,
they can also take progestins and androgen blockers. FtMs would take testosterone and perhaps an estrogen
blocker. It is interesting to note that
FtMs may have a hard time getting testosterone since it is considered a
controlled substance, and doctors may be required to use a narcotics pad to
prescribe it. This probably goes back
to steroid abuse to enhance athletic ability.
Even androgen blockers used to stop the actions of
testosterone and similar chemicals may become harder to get due to them being
used as masking agents. The idea there
is for athletes to train while using steroids and then take androgen blockers
in an attempt to hide the evidence from blood tests. So androgen blockers might be on adulterant panels of blood
tests. Spironolactone is of particular
note because in addition to blocking androgens, it also increases urination,
and diuretics have always been used by drug abusers wishing to evade
tests. This action of spironolactone is
not a surprise since the drug was originally used for hypertension and
congestive heart failure. The
usefulness for TSs was discovered when some men taking the drug developed
gynecomastia (male breast growth). I
believe this action is due to aromatization.
See, the way the body is designed, excess testosterone is converted to
estrogen. Now, if testosterone is being
blocked at cell receptor sites, it builds up in the blood stream. This unusable testosterone is converted to
estrogen, and this could cause the breast growth in some males who use this. Of course, in TSs, the reason it is taken is
to reduce the actions of testosterone as an adjunct to estrogen therapy. It is not relied upon alone for
feminization.
LGB: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual. Also GLB.
You will see me use this as I do not support or recognize transgender
and especially not TS inclusion in their community. TSism is an identity or even perhaps a birth defect, and identity
is the issue, not sexual orientation.
Homosexuality is based on sexual activities. A person does not even have to have sex or even have an
orientation in order to be a TS. If a
person is truly a woman inside, then any sexual activity with men would be
heterosexual in nature. Some MtF TSs
consider themselves lesbians, since they are attracted to females and consider
themselves as valid as genetic women.
LGBT: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender. Also, GLBT, GBLT, etc. This is not a sandwich, but a group label
for a number of "alternative" lifestyles. I don't support the T on the end since chosen sexual behaviors/sins
and gender identity are not one in the same, and the goals of LGBs and TSs are
vastly different. If the TGs who are
not TSs want to stay tacked on the end of the label, that is fine, but don't
include those of us whose identity is not based on choices or immoral
behavior. If TSs can have their own
identity group, have their own PAC, and associate with their own in a separate
setting, that would mitigate the harm that true-TSs gain from the existence of
LGBs and TGs who are not TSs.
MtF: Male-to-female, AKA a transsexual
woman. It is polite to refer to them
with female pronouns.
Non-op: What some refer to as a non-op TS, but I
find that to be a contradiction in terms.
If one is non-op, one is not a TS, since TSism implies a desire for
surgery. But one caution is that there
are true-TSs who desire surgery and cannot get it due to disease, age, or
poverty. Preop may be a better term to
fit them.
Orientation: The choice of which type of sexual
partners. This has nothing to do with
how a person dresses or presents themselves or their gender behaviors. A history lesson can show that it was
heterosexual men who used to be effeminate.
Another translation of the word translated as effeminate in the Bible
may be gigolo. There were men who
became like women to attract or exploit women.
Even today, we have people who call themselves "metrosexuals." That is a misnomer since it has nothing to
do with sexuality, but dressing somewhat like the opposite sex.
Pre-op: Before the surgery. This term is often wrongly used for TGists
and "shemales." However, to be a pre-operative transsexual, one must
first want the operation. You cannot
say something is before something else if that something else will never
happen.
Second-hand
bigotry: A condition in
which leaders have no problem with a person, but discriminate based on fears of
what others would do. An example would
be If a pastor refuses to let a TS take part in worship services because of one
or two objections of others or because of hypothetical trouble that may never
come. It is not they which have the
problem, but perhaps the congregation.
Yet the congregation may assume it is the pastor or others that have the
problem, when nobody really has a problem.
Sex: The physical component in regards to
reproduction. This is said to be the
"plumbing" of the body. Just
relying on this alone to determine how a person is and how they should be
treated is misleading. It really is the
least important since most civilized peoples don't live in nudist colonies. It makes no sense in using the shape of
one's genitals as a means to figure out which way to discriminate against
someone.
Shemale: Usually considered vulgar. 1. A
slur against TGs and TSs with as much hate behind it as any racial slur. 2. A
non-op person who poses nude in pornography.
A number of those lie and call themselves TSs (though some really are
TSs and use this shameful way to make money for surgery). They tend to give transsexuals a bad
name. 3. A gay man who dresses as a woman in order to pose in porn or work
in the sex industry.
SRS: Sex-reassignment surgery. That is surgery that alters the genitals to
that of the other sex. For MtFs, that
would include removing the testes, removing most of the erectile penis tissue,
then inverting and relocating the skin of the penis to create a vagina. Sometimes colon tissue or ancillary grafts
are used to line the vagina if the penile skin is inadequate.
For FtMs, SRS would include removing the breasts, removing
internal female organs, and creating the appearance of male organs. Not all FtMs get the third procedure due to
cost and unsatisfactory outcome. At the
least, taking male hormones causes the clitoris to lengthen, and a surgeon can
perform metoidioplasty to clip the surrounding tissue. Testicular implants can be added if
desired. More involved types of
phalloplasty involve creating a tube of skin from a series of skin grafts. The grafted skin is left in the original
location until the final procedure.
Even veins can be grafted internally to allow the neopenis to be used
for urination and copulation. This sort
of thing for FtMs can cost around $250,000.
It seems that it would be more ideal if this sort of surgery is done at
the same time as the mastectomy surgery.
Then breast tissue could be used to eliminate the need for grafts from
other locations.
Standards of
Care (SOC): These are the
standards that most surgeons performing sex-reassignment surgery follow. They are determined by the HBIGDA (Harry
Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association). It is so ironic that a post-op pseudo-TS currently sits on the
board of directors. It is further
evidence that pseudo-TSs like to set themselves up as being ring leaders and
gatekeepers of true-TSs. The standards
involve things like a 3-month minimum waiting period for hormones, a 6-12 month
or longer waiting period for surgery, the requirement of clearance letters, the
minimum tests to perform before prescribing HRT, etc.
Stonewall: This was an inn and bar where gay-related
rioting took place. I am not sure
exactly what started it, but it seems to have to do with some gay men not
getting served drinks. Outside,
lesbians and transgendered persons were throwing Molotov cocktails through
windows and objects at the police. It
is funny that the LGBT community wants to call this the start of the TG
community. It is just their way of
taking credit for the "accomplishments" of transgendered and even
transsexual persons. I see no value of
the riots for TSs. Some TGs/CDers claim
it gave them the right to dress without fear of arrest, but what benefit is
even this to TSs when they probably could get prescriptions to dress as women
if it was illegal to cross-dress? Some
TGs consider the Compton Riots the true beginning of the TG community. But really, that didn't gain rights for most
TGs and certainly not TSs either.
Apparently, that was started over police brutality and harassment of
gay/transvestite sex workers. More bait
and switch on the part of the gay and TG communities. Neither riot has helped true-TSs in the least, yet a number of
TSs buy into the myths that these helped them.
To TSs reading this, is this the type of image you wish to
be associated with? Do you like being
associated with drunkenness, prostitution, homosexuality, criminal acts,
rebellion, and terrorism? If you want
to be accepted as women and not as gay men, then you need to act like
respectable women. If you are not
really a woman inside, then please do us all a favor and not try to pretend to
be something you are not. Likewise for
any females who may be pretending to be men.
T*: This is a catch-all label for everything
that starts with trans-. The * comes from the *.* which is used in a number of computer operating systems. In that context, *.* refers to any file name with any extension, or in other words,
every file.
Transgender: (TG)
This is a very ambiguous and loaded word. If you break it down, it really should not be a word. Trans+ means to cross, and a key tenet to
TSism is that gender cannot be changed.
It is sometimes meant as a shortened form of transgenderist, a person
who is somewhere between a CD and a TS.
It is most commonly used to refer to anyone who is different or
perceived to be different in regards to sex and gender. I refuse to acknowledge this usage as
such. Most of the lifestyles making up
TGism is based on behaviors and choices.
TSism is based on identity and unchangeable differences. The idea that transgender is one big happy
family is only a pipe dream, not a reality.
The fact is that there is so much conflict. That is what you get when you lump many dissimilar people
together and expect them to sit on their differences. It seems to be a way of destroying the culture of true TSs by
ignoring them and hijacking their culture.
What gets me is that a number of TSs stand for this, when in fact, transgender
is the term that their enemies have chosen for them. The transgender movement, as opposed to any TS-specific one, has
been founded on rebellion and disrespect.
It was about the time of the Stonewall riots when transgender or
transgenderist was first used. I don't
support anyone who throws objects at the police or sets fires, and such persons
do not speak for me. So I use the term
to refer to all who are not true-TSs.
Usage note: It is
considered impolite to use the noun form in referring to someone and calling
them a transgender. The adjective form
is preferred. In other words, don't
call someone a transgender, but call them a transgendered person. A major distinguishing characteristic does
not define a person. People are more
than any identifying features or traits they may have. Calling someone a transgender is no more polite
than calling someone a colored or a cripple.
Transgender
Mind Rot: This is my
term for negative changes that occur after a person has identified as TG for a
while. It can happen to TSs, but it is
more common among TGs. It seems to be
similar to the race-bashing attitude that some racial minority members who are
heavily into their community have developed.
What happens among TGs and some TSs is that they may start out
relatively Conservative, open to the possibility of God, and seem to be quite
reasonable. But as they get involved in
the "transgender" community and view themselves as a minority group
and a law unto themselves, they become selfish, irrational, and pour themselves
into different types of political causes than before, and distance themselves
from all of their old friends.
Spiritually, they may turn their backs on their original faith and
choose something radically different, or even abandon faith altogether. They even take up for gay causes while at
the same time screaming up and down that they are not gay or that they are
attracted to members of their birth sex.
Transgenderist: A term coined by Charles 'Virginia' Prince, a married transvestite who
disliked TSs. The term was coined to
distance those who didn't get surgery from TSs. The term is used to describe those who consider themselves more
than CDers but not quite TSs, and who usually don't get genital surgery. Notice that the -ist suffix also appears in
the words sexist and racist. Along that
line, a number of us have encountered people who are in-between the genders and
who feel that makes them better than others.
There seems to be a sharp line drawn between transgenderists and
transsexuals. For an example of this,
go look at the USENET postings in the transgendered newsgroups. Chances are, the same transgenderist and the
same transsexual are still feuding. The
transgenderist made a comment that a vagina on a transsexual made as much sense
as a screen door on the hull of a submarine.
This person also made a comment saying they were more of a woman because
they kept their penis and that the TS there was a mutilated freak.
Transition: The journey from from gender role to
another. This includes a number of
areas such as society, law, and medicine.
Social changes would include dressing as the gender one believes
themselves to be, finding friends of that gender, and joining clubs for that
gender. Legal changes would include
changing one's name by a court order, getting their gender status marker
changed if possible, and updating all the paperwork. Medical changes would be hormone usage and surgery.
There is a mistaken notion that transition is about becoming
something one is not. In reality, it is
about becoming more of what one already is.
Transvestite: Similar to cross-dresser. Technically, they are both the same. However, the connotation is more
negative. Transvestite is actually a
clinical term. Transvestism is no
longer in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, but
fetishist transvestism is. Due to its
clinical history, this term is often distinguished from cross-dressers. This term has been used to describe everyone
who dressed differently from their born sex in the early days. However, once TS was coined, TV was used
solely to refer to those who dress with no intention of surgery or other
modifications. Now, it tends to have a
sexual connotation.
Transexual: A revised spelling of transsexual to which
some subscribe. The idea is to remove
the word "sex" from transsexual.
That part of the word refers to the physical body, not intercourse as
some may wrongly think. So the idea is
to remove the word sex. But trans +
exual makes no sense. Besides, this
spelling is often pushed by some gay groups, and I refuse to accept any label
created for me by people attempting to hijack my community or blur the lines.
Transsexual: A person who has a conflict between their
physical sex and their gender to the extent that they intend to live as full
members of the gender they believe they are a part of and get surgery to make
the body match their internal reality.
Trans+ refers to crossing, and "sex" refers to one's physical
sex. So literally, it means crossing
from one physical sex to the other.
This implies only 2 sexes and a complete transition. Sadly, the word is often misused by people
living in immoral and/or choice-based lifestyles and those who don't have any
need for surgery. Calling a TS a member
of a third sex is also a misuse of the term, since the word implies only two
options.
_______________________________________________________________
Doctrine of Sex,
Gender, and Orientation
It is commonly held among transsexuals that sex, gender, and
orientation are 3 separate and distinct things. Some may split gender into two categories, gender identity vs.
gender role.
Sex,
as used here, and in words such as transsexual,
refers to the biological "plumbing"
of the body.
Gender
identity refers to who a person is, how their brain is configured, how they
interact with the world around them, what their interests are, etc. Gender role, often refers to how a person
relates to the world around them, how they dress, the social constructs they
subscribe to, etc. Most commonly, both
gender identity and gender role are merged into just the word gender. Some will split it to refer to the inward
reality vs. what the world sees. While
some argue that gender role is purely a social construct, there is no way to
say that one's innermost identity is a social construct. So that is why these two are sometimes
differentiated.
Sexual orientation
refers to a choice of erotic partners.
This has nothing to do with how you dress or present yourself. Nor does this have anything to do with what
you believe yourself to be. This
pertains to behavior rather than identity.
Now, all of the possibilities for the above three items can occur
in any combination. For instance, a
person can have the physical body of a male, the gender identity of a woman,
and an attraction to males. They would
consider themselves a heterosexual woman in a male body. That would not be the same as a person with
a male body, a masculine gender, and an attraction to males. Even more confusing is the person with a
male body, a feminine gender, and an attraction to females. They would call themselves a transsexual
lesbian. It is most common to identify
oneself by the body one feels they were supposed to have.
There is an easy way to remember the above. I am quoted as saying:
"Sex
is between the legs, gender is between the ears, and orientation is between the
bed covers."
Another way to put it:
"Sex
is the plumbing, gender is the wiring, and orientation is the heat."
Another thing to note is that there seems to be an
in-between state in each of the above categories. There are persons with intersex disorder who are between
sexes. There are androgynous persons
who are between the genders. There are
also bisexuals who are between the orientations.
_______________________________________________________________
Birth Defect Doctrine
Unlike homosexuality and transgender behavior,
true-transsexualism is a medical condition with medical and surgical
solutions. It is not a put-down or an
insult to say that a TS was born with a birth defect. Of course, "medical condition," "congenital
condition," etc. may sound better.
Regardless, there is no judgment attached to having a birth defect. Birth defects are things that just happen
and the person born with them cannot help having them. Birth defects are not chosen, and they could
happen to anyone's children.
In John 9, a man was born blind. Like today, people tried to point fingers and say his blindness
resulted from some specific sin the parents did, or that it was punishment for
something he did. What did Jesus say
about that? He said that this birth
defect was a means to give glory to God, and Jesus healed him right there. That meant he was no longer blind. What is healing for us? Yes, some of us might be delivered from
being TSs, but that is not frequent.
More of us have a healing like Paul the apostle. Paul kept praying for a "thorn in the
flesh" to be healed, but God said that His grace was sufficient and
refused to heal him the way he asked.
God may help some people out of trouble, but others he helps through the
trouble. Some may expect us to be
helped out of being TSs, but it is also just as valid to expect us to be helped
through transition, and to avoid the pitfalls of immoral behavior along the
way. Acknowledging oneself as a TS is
no excuse to go out and commit sexual sin or to enable those who practice
immoral lifestyles. There is no shame
to true-TSism like there is for lifestyles commonly mistaken for such.
_______________________________________________________________
Causes of
Transsexualism
This may shock you that physical causes have been
found. It has been found to be
associated with prenatal exposure to DES, Roundup™, PCBs, and finasteride
(Proscar, Propecia). There are also
associations with various illnesses.
People with PDD, Asperger's Syndrome, or autism are more likely than the
general public than others to also have transsexualism.
DES was a synthetic estrogen that was used from the 1940's
to the early 1970's to treat threatened miscarriage until it was banned. We now know that estrogen should never be
taken during pregnancy, and that if there is a hormonal cause for miscarriage,
progesterone would more likely be the culprit.
This synthetic estrogen was misunderstood and used for many things. It was added to beauty products with the
hope that it would help increase the appearance of youthfulness. It was taken for a number of health
ailments. It was given to fatten up
livestock. This widespread usage was a
disaster waiting to happen. There were
girls who were menstruating as early as 5 years old. There were males (humans and pets) who were developing
breasts. Daughters of women taking DES
during pregnancy later developed breast and uterine cancer. Sons of DES mothers were sometimes born with
genital abnormalities. These things
have been documented. There are also
sons of DES mothers who were diagnosed as transsexuals. The industry has tried to keep this silent
due to lawsuits. They have already had
to pay out millions for female-related cancers. Because of these problems, the drug was banned. The problem was not really the medication,
but the misuse of it. Doctors now know
they were misusing it and prescribing it way too much. We also know that it has no business being
given to livestock for the purpose of weight gain. The problem is that it gets into the food supply.
Sometimes gender differences do run in families. I know a 3rd-generation TS personally. I also personally know a TS who is the
trans-daughter of an intersexed mother.
The trans-daughter credits DES exposure, while the mother believes the
condition is related to her own birth defect.
It is often hard for mothers to accept that medication taken while
pregnant could cause TSism, intersex disorder, or other gender variance in
their offspring, and they often look for other reasons. To face the truth is to face guilt over
having done something to cause the condition.
Facing the truth would also mean owning up to giving blind authority to
a physician who made the wrong call and prescribed inappropriate medications. It may be part of a woman's nature and
conditioning to blindly accept authority without checking to see if the
authority has validity. So to question
a doctor is like questioning her parents and spouse/lover, something that just
isn't done.
Finasteride is a common drug used for prostate problems and
hair loss in men. It can be used in
women if they are somehow suffering male-pattern baldness due to a hormonal
imbalance and if there is no chance of pregnancy while taking the drug. The packages warn that women of
child-bearing age are not to use the drug and that they should not handle broken
tablets. The packages say that this
could cause birth defects in male fetuses.
What kind of birth defects?
Well, they can interfere with the sex-differentiation cascade and cause
the male fetus to become a transsexual or even appear as female.
Roundup™ has been used in areas where there is a high number
of those with PDD, Asperger's Syndrome, autism, and transsexualism. There are even more intellectuals and
unpopular students in such areas where Roundup™ is heavily used.
There are other possible causes for TSism as well. Brain damage can be implicated. It has been documented that after brain
damage in some people, there have been changes in sexual orientation, frequency
of sexual intercourse (like frigidity and nymphomania), and perhaps even gender
identity. Brain damage may cause some
PDD/autism/Asperger's spectrum disorders, and these are associated with an
increased chance of transsexualism.
There are even demonstrable brain differences in TSs. The Swaab team in the Netherlands found that
transsexuals had roughly the same number of neurons in the anterior bed nucleus
of the stria terminalis as the gender with which they identified. MtFs had the same number of neurons as other
women, and the only FtM in the study had close to the same number as the
men. Gays and lesbians were also
included, but they had close to the
same numbers of neurons as members of their birth sexes. Everyone had numbers that corresponded to
what they identified as being. This not
only proves a demonstrable brain difference between TSs and other members of
their physical sex of birth, but also proves there is no link with
homosexuality.
Yes, there are critics of the brain study. Some may conjecture that HRT usage was a
factor. However, not all the TSs in the
study were taking HRT. If this brain
difference seems to only occur in adults (though we don't know since children
were not studied) and is possibly influenced by hormones, then why don't the
hormones cause the difference here in all humans? I mean, why are the receptors that cause this stuck in one
state? If this area is linked to TSism,
and if hormones cause the feelings, and TSs have normal levels of hormones for
members of their birth sex, then why don't the natural hormones cause this area
to match their birth sex and prevent such feelings? Therefore, this is not a compelling objection.
Another brain difference involves the corpus callosum. This is the white matter at the center of
the brain. It acts as a junction box
between the 2 halves of the brain.
Women tend to have more neurons here connecting the 2 halves, and brain
imagery can show this. No dissection is
required to study this as in the above example, so living subjects can be
studied. According to a guest on Focus
on the Family, such a study has been done.
A near equal number of male and female volunteers were asked to
concentrate on a reading selection that would be read to them while undergoing
this test. The finding was
interesting. About 90-95% of the women
had activity in both sides of the brain in about the same area, while only
5-10% of the men had such activity. The
remaining subjects only experienced an increase of activity on the left
side. So what is the significance? This could show a difference in the number
of neurons in the corpus callosum. It
could demonstrate that men and women perceive things differently. The right side of the brain is associated
with feelings, subjective reasoning, and emotions. This could also explain the common stereotypical argument where
women claim not to be heard or understood by their mates, and men claim that
women are reading things into what they say or do that is not there. Since women have more language activity in
the right hemisphere than men, they will have more emotional content in their
language.
_______________________________________________________________
Differences Between
True Transsexuals and the Transgendered
Despite confused or malicious people who confuse
transgenderism with transsexualism, they are not one in the same. In fact, they have a number of diametrically
opposed beliefs.
_______________________________________________________________
Gender Variance in
Nearly All Persons
A common mistake is trying to figure out what sex or gender
one legitimately is based on a few flimsy superficial details. However, this is not reliable, and people
who do so are bound to be unhappy in life, since they are always
second-guessing everyone and their intentions.
That is certainly not the road to inner peace.
Generally speaking, women's pelvises are supposed to be
larger in proportion to that of men's in order to facilitate childbirth. However, some men may develop larger
pelvises, and some women may lack such development. A visit to a chiropractor or surgeon will confirm this. A woman's buttocks are generally larger than
those of men, since the extra calories may be needed during gestation. However, some men naturally develop this
shape due to no fault of their own.
Females tend to have smaller noses and less prominent foreheads,
yet some women may develop more masculine features, and some men might develop
more feminine facial features. Such
differences are medical and cannot be used to imply anything about a person's
character, personality, sexual orientation, or their true gender.
Voice is one of those things that people often confuse with
gender. Generally, sopranos and altos
are women and children, and tenors, baritones, and basses are men. However, this is not always true. Hormone imbalances can alter this pattern. A number of post-menopausal women sing as
tenors and some even lower. Some males
may have an alto voice their entire lives, whereas most males voices drop at
puberty. Some studies suggest that
voice range is dependent on hormone levels throughout a person's life. In other words, males who are tenors and
higher tend to have much less exposure to testosterone, or their receptors are
not as responsive to it, when compared to bass singers.
Even certain unusual living situations can cause mismatches
between a person's gender and their physical traits. There may be cases of emotionally sick parents who wanted a boy
so bad that they will shoot their daughter up with male hormones, thus
destroying her voice, appearance, and much of her femininity. Sadly, the damage this does to the voice is
mostly irreversible as of now. Such a
woman will be cheated of the ability to sing soprano or even alto, due to the
selfish desires and actions of mentally ill parents.
_______________________________________________________________
Hatred of Genitals
Received at Birth
Hatred of one's genitals of birth is an essential part of
being a TS. Cross-dressers and gay men
do not have this (unless of course a gay man starts out his life with female
genitals). To cross-dressers, it is
just a game, and a gay man or other male pervert would never give up the parts
that bring him the most joy.
Transgenderists do not have this hatred for or sense of
inappropriateness of their genital either, since they are really just men who
pretend to be women from day to day. If
a person has a burning desire or need to keep their genitals of birth, then
they are not a transsexual.
Now you may protest to what I am saying and say that
genitals do not determine your gender or whether you are a transsexual or
not. This may be true, but a
transsexual will have a notable desire to want to have genitals that match who
they really are. It is very similar to
the Christian doctrine of salvation.
Works doesn't produce salvation, but salvation produces works. Likewise, desiring or getting
sex-reassignment surgery does not make you a woman (or a man), but if you are a
woman (or man), you will want body parts that are consistent with your
femininity (or masculinity).
_______________________________________________________________
Parallels with the
Christian Faith
Some people think that TSism is inherently opposed to the
Christian faith. Actually, it is not if
it is viewed a certain way. Unlike TGs
who are gender benders, feeling that there are more than 2 genders, that gender
is a social construct that otherwise doesn't exist, or that there are an
infinite number of genders, TSism implies that gender is inborn and there are
only two. TG persons in general may see
TGism as a matter of social constructs and preference, but a TS sees it as a
matter of being in the wrong body. For there to be a wrong body, there has to
be a correct body. For a TG, they don't
get the surgery since they don't see the body as wrong, just that the culture
does not fit their nature (which could imply a self-centered world view). Their world view sees gender as irrelevant,
or sees an infinite range of genders.
Now, why did God create 2 sets of sexes and genders? Well, an obvious answer is for
procreation. If everyone were the same,
procreation would be impossible, unless everyone was created to be
intersexed. But this could produce more
genetic defects and unwanted pregnancies than we have now due to accidental
inbreeding. Now, I think God created
two sexes for other reasons as well.
The existence of two sets of sexes and genders shows humankind that we
are all incomplete and in need of someone outside of ourselves. We were not created to be alone (Gen 2:18),
whether we mean the social level, on a deeper emotional level, or even a sexual
level. Now, lets take this even
further. We were all created to have
someone outside of ourselves on the spiritual level as well. Marriage is a beautiful demonstration of
God's love for us and a demonstration of His will in heaven and on Earth (Matt.
6:10b). In essence, we can look at God
as the Husband and we the Church as the Wife.
God does not have a relationship with other gods (there really are none
except in the hearts of humans), and that would be like homosexuality,
metaphorically speaking. God cannot sin
(James 1:13), and God cannot practice homosexuality (Romans 1:23). Nor are we to have spiritual relationships
that regard other humans as gods. That
would basically be lesbianism in a spiritual sense. Like butch lesbians attempt to take the place of men, we as
humans often try to take the place of God.
Now lets carry these metaphors over to transsexualism and
other transgender behavior. It is
popular for humans to try to be a god in their hearts and minds. Those who do such are seen as
"enlightened," "empowered," etc. It is also popular for anyone seen in a lower rank or position to
want to climb the ladder. That is what
Eve tried to do when she sinned. It is
popular for females who were created for the men to want to become like
men. Many people tend to pull for the
underdog. Envy seems to be at work here
as well. Because of envy and the desire
to dominate, many people try to gain rank and prestige. So lesbianism is seen as rather harmless,
and FtM TSs have little stigma these days.
The opposite of the above is not true. When God made Himself into the form of a
man, people hated Him (except for the "minority group" known as His
Disciples). They acted in violence and
hatred towards someone daring to "throw away" such mighty power. Allowing oneself to be lowered shows others
how frail their authority, power, and prestige are. Male homosexuality is seen as disgusting on the secular level
since many men feel they have a birthright to domination (maybe part of this is
inborn and intended to a certain degree, and the rest is culture). Being mounted by another man is not a form
of domination. This terrifies a number
of men, since this makes them feel powerless.
If this could happen to other men, and men are placed as equal to women
in terms of rape, then this shows how insecure the cultural notion of
masculinity is. Denial often results in
violence, including this particular sin.
A number of inmates feel they must rape other male inmates to either
keep from getting raped or out of an attempt to make up for having been
raped. Experts tell us that rape of any
sort is nearly always about control.
On another level, known MtF transsexuals are seen as just as
disgusting as male homosexuals to a number of people. They are seen as being in a privileged position and throwing it
away. This disgusts men in a number of
ways. They fear it could happen to
them. They fear they may somehow end up
having sex with such a person and in essence are raping themselves (as far as
the subconscience may go). If they are
having sex with someone who "used to be a man," then wouldn't it be
as bad to be used in the same manner?
The error here is that the person was never fully masculine, so what
happens to the one person could never happen to the other. The son of Jan Morris was unable to have
sexual intercourse for some time. He
reasoned that since his father had sex with a woman and then had the surgery to
acquire female genitals. He was afraid
this was, in a sense, contagious. But
the nature already existed in his father, like a seed, and wasn't realized
until later. Therapy and a loving wife
was what it took to heal the son's fear.
A lot of the fear in regards to this issue have to do with wounded
boundaries. That in turn makes it hard
to be able to tell where one's own self ends and where another person's life
begins. Many people have boundary
confusion and emotional entanglement.
MtF TSs in one way are a reminder of what Christ did for
us. He was willing to take a lesser
position and be subjected to public rejection and ridicule. It is always brave to take a stand and be
willing to be persecuted for what you believe.
That is not a form of weakness.
Rather than question God's order and plan for the genders, TSs affirm
it, and they often get a view of God's plans and purposes that others cannot
see. They get to see what hormones do
and what a number of the sex differences really are, and get to see God's
design in a way that others may never know.
Now, lets look at TSism and the similarities to the
Christian faith. A Christian believes
they were born as a sinner and cannot help it.
A TS believes they were born in the wrong body. A sinner comes to a point of recognizing
they were a sinner all their lives, even if they didn't outwardly appear to be
a sinner. A TS comes to a point of
recognizing that their body is wrong in regards to their true sense of gender,
even if they have kept this hidden most of their life. A Christian reads the Bible for spiritual
growth. A TS takes hormones for breast
growth, other physical changes, and mental changes. They also have writings from their community leaders and
pioneers. Christians know the
Counselor, and TSs often see counselors, often as a requirement for
surgery. Christians go to church and
other events related to the Body of Christ.
TSs have support groups, conventions, and other ways to meet, share, and
encourage one another. Christians will
some day be given a body that matches their faith, TSs hope to have a body that matches their inward sense of
gender.
My view on surgery and TSism is similar to my view on works
and a relationship with Christ. Getting
the surgery doesn't make you a TS or a woman any more than doing good works
makes you a believer. I believe that if
you truly are a TS, you will want SRS, and you will want to behave in ways that
are socially appropriate for a woman.
If you are truly a believer, you will want to do good works and do what
you can to please God. Surgical regrets
happen when a person is not truly a woman inside where it matters. Very often, it is pride, competition, and a
desire to seek domination and authority where it is not warranted (arrogance?)
that causes a person to wrongly decide on the surgery. Even rebellion can wrongly lead a person
down the road to surgery. Good works
can have some similar pitfalls. Some
people help others as an attempt to make themselves feel better than the other
person and gratify their egos. Some
help others as an attempt to control them or get something in return.

Strategy to Split TSs
from LGBTs
_______________________________________________________________
SRS - A Physical
Change Only
A number of people mistakenly think that people get the
surgery in an attempt to become something they are not. That can be no further from the truth. The idea is to become more of what you
already are and get treated by others in a manner that is consistent with your
internal character. If a person thinks
that sexual reassignment will turn them into a member of the opposite sex, they
are sadly mistaken and should not be allowed to undertake such a
procedure. If you are not accepted as a
woman before genital surgery, you will not be accepted as a woman
afterwards. For some, this may provide
some peace in the sense of finality and the struggle finally being over, but
all in all, this changes very little.
The sad part is that for those who are not really TSs and who get some
semblance peace from surgery, the feeling of peace may not last. Once the hard realities of life and not
being accepted set in, such a person is back to square one, and they may have
unnecessary extra pain added on top of their initial pain. Had they recognized that their emotional
difficulties stemmed from another source, they would not have mutilated
themselves hoping to find peace and acceptance.
For those who are True-TSs, other physical features cause
more problems and keep others from being willing to accept them as the women
they really are. Yes, genital surgery
can allow you to get the proper legal documents that say you are female, but
this does not apply to all locations or to all extents. Some TS women have had their corrected IDs
challenged by their state. The judges,
being ignorant of this, wrongly consider this an attempt to change the gender,
when in fact they were born with a female (or male for FtMs) gender but a male
body. The problem here is a bad
paradigm. They are not men becoming
women (or women becoming men), but otherwise normal women born with a serious
birth defect and correcting it. When
clergy, insurance companies, and judges can realize this, True-TSs will have
gained major rights.
_______________________________________________________________
The Complexity of Sex
and Gender
As much as people may want it to be, sex and gender are not
referring to just one thing. The terms
sex and gender as used here are not one in the same. Right now, we will just use the word sex, but attach other words
to denote what we mean.
Chromosomal
sex: Refers to having an
X or Y chromosome for the 23rd pair.
You get an X from your mother and an X or Y from your father. An X should mean you are female, and a Y
should mean you are male. However, this
is not always foolproof. An Olympic
contestant who was a mother of three with scars to show for it was disqualified
due to the karyotype test showing that she had to be male. She was what some may refer to as being
chromosomally transsexed or intersexed.
That is very rare. Actually,
only a few genes determine whether a person is actually male or female. So the chromosomes could take either shape
and result in an individual of either sex.
Some scientists wonder if males always had a Y chromosome or if it
simply mutated over time.
Genetic sex: Refers to the SrY gene and related genes on
the 23rd pair. Testing this probably
would be more accurate than simply looking at the shape of the chromosomes. But this would still neglect to take all of
the factors of this section into account which are just as valid.
Genital sex: The most common thing that people think of
in regards to sex. Does it have a penis
or not? The need for capitalism and the
desire/need to discriminate against the sexes is so strong and rampant in
American culture (and other places as well), that this is often seen as more
important than survival and health of the mother and child. This is also a misleading indicator of whom
a person is. Not all men are born with
penises. Not all women are born with
vaginas. Not all persons are born with
just one. Not all are born with
either. In some cases, the genitals
conflict with the chromosomal sex, like the female contestant above who gave
birth to three children despite having a Y-chromosome, and she had no surgical
procedures to alter her genitals (except for any done during childbirth, like
an episiotomy to cut the vagina larger).
In other cases, the physical sex may not quite match the individual
genes either. Some are born with
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. Those
who have the complete variant of this are born with genitals that conflict with
the genes of their sex chromosomes.
They may have mutations in other genes that make their body unable to
create the proteins, hormones, or receptors needed to produce a body of the
correct sex. While genes start the
cascade that creates a male or female fetus, parts of the sex differentiation
process are relegated to hormones. This
seems to happen somewhere between the 5th to 12th week of gestation. If the genetic information for the receptors
and proteins are missing, and the genes are that for a male, a female body may
result. They often are well-adjusted as
females but may also miss female internal organs. They may be born with a shallow vagina and no cervix. Even transsexualism may be caused during
gestation due to some hormonal interference.
Birth control pills, hair loss drugs, stress, pollution, and other
things could cause disturbances here.
Reared sex: This refers to the sex in which one was
raised and the body of experiences they have had. This can set lifelong patterns of conduct. Shared experiences are a major part of one's
masculinity or femininity. Women can
remember their first bra, their first period, their first boyfriend, and the
shared times they have had with girls growing up. Men can remember things like athletics they have participated in,
their physical changes, their experiences with boys growing up, and their first
girlfriend.
Peer pressure plays a major part in being accepted as a
member of one's own gender. The
importance here varies between cultures.
African-Americans may place a stronger emphasis here than
Caucasians. They may feel they must
enforce gender conformity in order for their children to be accepted as full
members of their culture. Blacks may
feel that gender deviancy is a "White" problem and they don't want
their children to be seen as sellouts.
I knew some neighbors who may end up with a problem here. Their little boy acts a bit gender atypical,
and he has already been mistaken for a girl.
This may not necessarily be a sign of TSism, but individuality. I sure hope he does not start getting picked
on or harassed.
Legal sex: This is what a person is recognized as under
the law. A transsexual can usually get
their legal paperwork changed to match the reality of their gender and the
reality of SRS. That usually enables
them to marry, travel, and work as members of their gender, and resolve any
restroom conflicts that others wrongly attempt to impose on them. This also allows them to be properly
classified should they be found guilty of breaking the law. The police will be better able to find the
person with the corrected information, and such a person would be placed in the
correct prison cell.
Mental sex: How a person regards themselves in regards
to gender, and what abilities and talents a person has. Based on the corpus-callosum study, maybe
some woman would be qualified to preach (without regard to any calling or any
commandments of course), and some men would not be. Some men might have problems parallel parking or feel a need to
ask for directions while not all women are well served by such stereotypes.
Orientational
sex: This is how a
person is likely to present themselves in a sexual setting and who they choose
as partners. A person may present as
butch, femme, or whatever.
Social sex: This is how a person presents themselves,
how others accept them, and what gender-specific experiences a person has.
Spiritual
sex: The gender of
a person's spirit or soul. A study of
the original language used by David in the Psalms for being knitted together in
the womb seems to indicate that a person's soul is made by God as well as the
body.
_______________________________________________________________
True-Transsexualism -
No Contradiction to Anything
Some people have problems with transsexuals, thinking their
condition is a contradiction to a number of situations. I've heard transsexuals themselves tell me
that it is impossible to be both a Conservative and a transsexual. I don't see why. Is it possible to be both a woman and a Conservative? If so, than it should be possible to be a
true MtF Transsexual and a Conservative.
Yes, resisting certain types of change is intrinsic to being a
Conservative. True-transsexuals are not
changing who they are, but are making their body and presentation more
consistent with whom they really are.
Nor are they out to change society.
They are not after new laws, but want the existing laws applied fairly
to them. If the law can fully recognize
them as full members of their gender, then new laws on discrimination and civil
rights won't be needed.
There is also an incorrect assumption that one cannot be
both a Christian and a true-transsexual.
Some people wrongly believe that the Scriptures which speak against and
forbid homosexuality apply here. However,
true-transsexuals are not necessarily homosexuals. Critics may also quote passages on cross-dressing and attire to
say that a transsexual cannot be a Christian.
But since true-TSs are really women where it matters, then they are not
cross-dressing. Can someone in good
conscience dress as a man once they find out that they are really a woman?
