Quote. A transsexual is someone who IDENTIFIES as the gender that is different than their gender assigned at birth and is currently going through medical processes, not necessarily surgical, to live their life in their identified gender.
Someone who is transgender may or may not identify as their birth gender but may contain some kind of gender variant aspect to them. This includes crossdressers, transvestites, drag performers, femme boys, butch women and gender queers.
With respect, this is over analysing and pathologising what isn't necessary.
Some women feel uncomfortable wearing a dress. The solution is to wear trousers. There is no issue, no need for analysis, no need for a label. Equally, for the man who wants to appear like John Wayne and adopt attitudes that he identifes with that, the solution is to do it. No issues at all.
People who seek to identify with any aspect of the opposite gender, whether it is just wearing something a bit girly, to seeking SRS, the solution is for them to do this. They don't need labels. Once their needs are fulfilled, they are more comfortable with themselves and the world. They can participate in society and contribute.
The problem is when people are prevented from expressing themselves, not when they do.
I cannot see any reason to include and define numerous sub categories for what is benign and completely harmless. I am increasingly frustrated and annoyed at those who seek to play games with the press and public over terminologies. If a transgender person applies for a job, the issue is, can they do the job.
