1. Extending Transsexual Diagnosis
 |
| The use of language is as an important way of treating Gender Dysphoria and the Ex-Gender Dysphoric, as is the scalpel, hormones or cosmetic surgery. How we relate to others verbally, is not only through the descriptive pronoun or personal naming but also a public declaration of what that person's status is in society at large. |

| 7. Susan's Place Library: Is CrossGendered Behavior An Alternative Lifestyle?
|
| The other side's view. As everyone knows, transvestism and transsexuality are one in the same. The former is a straight forward perversion carried down through the ages from Pagan celebrations, while the latter is a heretical act of the utmost contempt for God carried through to a nefarious conclusion by the misdirected use of modern medical and surgical skills. Crossgendered behavior has unfortunately been with us for a very long time and was first mentioned in recorded history in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. |
