What type of transgender are you?
« on: February 05, 2006, 04:36:59 pm »
Since joining Susan's, I've been curious what the ratio of different kinds of transgenders visit our "room."  Please be HONEST about your current gender identity.  It's confidential -- no one will know other than you and some inanimate computer at Susan's.  Though many of us fit between the lines, for this poll you'll have to choose just one.  Are you M2F, F2M, CD, Not Sure, or Intersexed?  I've included M and F at the bottom, for those SO's and friends who visit Susan's.  We appreciate your visits and input.

Unicorn - I'm no expert but the way I've heard it is "M2F" is your sexual identity and "Queer" is your sexual preference.

I am a male to female ... something!

My therapist and I agree that I am more than a crossdreser, but don't know if I am transexual.

I am in that inbetween void that the transgender umbrella covers.

I definitely qualify as one of the extremes of our little spectrum. M2F and discarding EVERYTHING to do with that M part as fast as possible.




P.S. The wiki has an entry on genderqueer.

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little transsexual girls are made of.

Hi Hon, it's really ftm, as I was born female and am going towards the male end of the spectrum.

Thanx for citing the wiki, Kimberly!

Sorry, Alex.  Along with senility, guess I need new glasses.  Ahhh, work is never done.

Steph, I hate labels, too, and agree with you that M2F are women but, should I need medical help, I always confess my M2F status to doctors.  So, lean back.  This isn't going to hurt a bit.  "Oww!"

I notice someone at Susan's added two possibilities to the poll choices:  Genderqueer and Admirer.  I take no responsibility for those additions.  I would have thought "admirer" would be the same as "friend or SO."  I assume that there are good reasons for this - as I've said, I'm no expert.

I really had to think about this one .  .   .    .     .

I changed my mind back and forth between Not Sure and M2F - about seven or eight times.

I chose M2F because that's what I am although I'm Not Sure I can actually manage a transition.

I guess that's what the expensive PsyD is for!

As my test for chromosomes shows I am not a male nor a woman I put MTF as I am not sure if intersexed would be correct, maybe I could have put not sure but I used to live life once as a male so I think I have chosen the right one.

Well, my birth certificate says (M)ale, but I have always known that I was female.

Too bad Ohio is one of the states that will not chance the gender marker on the birth certificate.

re: the "continuum."

I tried to address that when I started this post:  "Though many of us fit between the lines, for this poll you'll have to choose just one."

Even though I'm M2F, I know that, transition-wise, I still feel like a male in some respects.  I attribute my sense of logic and calm-under-fire with my male upbringing.  Women don't seem to like solutions to problems -- they just seem to want compassion rather than possible solutions.  I sometimes want just compassion but, mostly, I prefer to find solutions.  I don't think any of the above is "nature" -- I feel it's because I was "nurtured" as a male.  To me, there are positive aspects about it.

And, I've said it before in posts, many post op TS's, upon getting to the "other side," find that the difference between males and females is often more culture-created -- essentially, we're the same in a lotta ways.

So, while I agree there's a definite fuzziness to the true continuum, I wanted to see, generally, what we'd all put down if a keyboard was thrust under our fingers.

Same for me (only FTM), I selected not sure instead of FTM, though it was hard to decide which to pick...
