Transexuals

[Drich]

you people kill me. If you do not understand what is being said then how can you hope to produce a whole page of topical dialog?

No, you obviously don't understand. Transgender people don't want to change their sexual orientation, as you said before. They want to change the body they're in to fit their mental gender. Transgender and gay are totally different matters. But of course you don't understand that. Why would you, being so deeply immersed in your religious prejudices and quoting conversion therapists as serious sources?

Your an idiot to think all people who have GID want to be a transsexual. Just like not all people who have homosexual tendencies want to be gay or live a gay life style. So to do the people with GID may not want sexual reassignment.  especially if they know they can change the way they feel with hormone therapy.

*You're an idiot*

Who said lock up? All I'm saying is tell them no, or escort thier ass out the bathroom if they get lost or confused.

Yes, because as you know, your daughter would feel SUPER comfortable to be greeted by this transman when she walks into the women's restroom.

 

According to the logic of Drich.

lol

That's like looking down the barrel of an disassembled gun.

Yes normally looking down that barrel (with all parts intact) can be very intimidating, but when you know the 'bang' is taken out of the gun, then it becomes a paper weight.

But...if they do want to transition, and transitioning is the care plan decided upon by patient and therapist, how can you justify denying them access to the bathroom which they gender identify with?

Yeah, we were over this, long ago. Your truck driver story still doesn't make much of a sense.

As for the idiot, I'm wearing that like a badge of honor, since the feeling is entirely mutual.

The denial of access is justified because bathroom segregation is based on objective biological sex not subjective gender identity.

Drich! These guys claim to be all about science and objectivity...except when it comes to sex. Then its all about how people "feel" and not the objective facts.

[Drich]

That's not true according to the study i posted a few pages back. "distress" is alleviated when the patient is comfortable with whatever sexual assignment he or she wishes to obtain. For some that means varying degrees of gender reassignment while other seek to be comfortable in their own bodies.

Or are you saying all GID people should be forced to under go gender reassignment even if the want to learn to live how they were born?

Transsexuals are the ones requesting gender reassignment.

The problem is that you are equivocating between patients and transsexuals and it can be difficult for the psychiatrist and the patient to determine what they are. This thread subject is "Transsexual", not transgendered. Transsexual is a misnomer because it is not about sexuality, but it has stuck and is gradually being replaced with the more umbrella term transgendered. But transgendered includes the whole spectrum whereas transsexuals by definition wish to change their bodies to match the gender that they identify as. And for those people. transitioning is the only effective treatment.

I have read and found definitions that say transsexual means transgendered, and trans gendered means what you claim transsexual means. And I've found definitions that support my reading of the words. Fitting I suppose given the topic.

Either way for the sake of this thread transsexuals include all people who suffer with GID.
While transgender (change of gender) will mean that those who seek to have a gender change.

I have separated the meaning because I saw it separated in one of the books I listed as a source that made this distinction. Meaning not all GID patents want to adopt a new gender.

Yeah, and you guys are all about dualism except when it comes to icky sex-stuff, lol.

So it is your belief that all people (despite what reference material I listed says) who suffer from GID want to be trans gendered?
