Does one have to be transsexual in order to need to have sex reassignment? I know that sounds like one really loaded question, and it probably is. The problem is that I have never considered myself transsexual. In fact, I loathe thinking of myself in that way. Many of my friends and family insist that they're all but positive that I am, somehow, intersexed at some level but I cannot afford to find out just yet and the doctors do not always too a good job of listening to those suggestions.
Growing up, I had no male identity, and was never pushed to form one. It was as if everything around me was inverted. I was a girl being treated as a boy. I wore boys clothing, but never dropped any of the female body language. It was as if I was living in a mirror. Somehow, I was Alice and I had jumped through the Looking Glass.
Claim the label or don't makes no difference. I could claim to not have white skin and be correct. I don't fit any other race description either cause my skin is peachish. If the symptoms fit....
You are what you are. No one can tell you what you are. There is no committee that suddenly says you are A or B. If you cannot decide don't.

"I mean, I know intellectually that many women are
attracted to men, but I do not know in my heart how. To me, it would
be akin to being sexual with a dog or a horse. It just seems that
disgusting to me."
good grief. well, no doubt she hates men. I went and read some of her articles and something crossed my mind. She hates men so much I am wondering if it is self hate. Kind of like the famous anti-gay activist who we find out later is gay. She also stated she grew up in a time when transsexuals were mainly gay men who wanted to change to women to have sex with men. How freaking twisted is that?!
I find her extreme hatred of men to be pathological.
I also have issues with men but I dont hate them all, just most of them. :laugh: Most men are good for about 15 mins or so... ;)
