She's neither a sex change nor a cross-dresser. She's a trans lesbian.Originally posted by joecct View Post
He'd be a cross-dresser if he identified as a man but liked wearing women's clothes (Ed Wood, J. Edgar Hoover).
She'd have had a sex change if... she had a sex change! (Caitlyn Jenner -- maybe. She's done various surgeries upstairs but I don't know whether she went downstairs too.)
But she's simply somebody who was born with male parts who sees herself as a woman attracted to women. My understanding (which is far from encyclopedic) is that many (most?) trans people do not go through sex reassignment surgery and hormonal treatments, which are very expensive and unpleasant. I suspect they already have enough to deal with.
I know it seems strange to those of us who are (1) old and (2) haven't been reading queer studies for the last 30 years, but the thing it isn't is complicated. All those terms are actually quite distinct and precise.Last edited by Kepler; 01-29-2016, 01:08 PM.Cornell University

Re: What the Fark 2: That Was... Interesting.
I couldn't care less about someone feeling like the parts don't match - people gotta be people and if he identifies with being a woman no worries, but until the parts are changed please refer to that person as a he. I think 'he'd' get more buy-in in that regard to be honest from those that are thrown off.
btw I fully recognize the counter-argument to my statement. If he feels he's a woman trapped in a dude's body why not say, "she"? I wouldn't pound my fist on the table in favor of my opinion, but I actually could see some value of going with, "he" but saying you want to be a "she". I understand the draggers will be up in arms regardless, but some on the fence might see it more openly.Last edited by Slap Shot; 01-29-2016, 05:58 PM.Comment
