Title: Question: Please define "Gender Variant" if possible.
Post by: ChefAnnagirl on April 02, 2007, 12:41:25 AM

Hi,

Someone actually asked me this question within the last week. "How do you explain transsexual vs. "gender variant" ?

I have no idea - pardon me for seeming really clueless or something. I have really not the slightest clue as to what that means. If anyone can explain this for me, i could honestly answer that person's question.

Thanks,

Annagirlforever

You know what? 25 years ago I couldn't even spell trassexual. And now I are one.

it basically pertains to someone who's [transgender] but [not] transexual.
examples: crossdressers, androgynes, transvestites, gender queer, ->-bleeped-<-s, and the list goes on and on.
