Ask a transsexual anything

[TaraJo]

Hmm. So the whole LGBT- "label" (for want of a better word) is the big tent?

For the most part, yeah, that's about it. Gay men, for example, are still gay men even though they fall within the GLBT community. Although, the GLBT community is largely a political creation.

But, how can you define masculine and feminine without reference to biology, and without being completely circular?

Gender has to do with psychology, not biology. Trying to get a biologist to explain gender would be about as pointless as asking Sigmund Freud to explain RNA translation. However, if you still want to go into the biology of it, that's fine, I can do that, too:

I found that article with a very quick google search. If I wanted to do more indepth research on it, I would undoubtedly find far more. The point is, there is a structural difference between male and female brains. So, what happens when you get a brain that's more female even though the rest of the body is male? You get me.

What is your favorite meal?

Do you like turtles?

I have a weakness for pizza. Part of the reason I weigh a bit more than I should (and it doesn't help that there's a pizza buffett just up the street from me).

As for turtles, sorry, I like my animals fluffier.
