I voted #1 

So I guess I am the only different one posting here lol   

I live full time, but without HRT, surgery, any thing.

Orgasms are Uber important to me and my GG GF.  I never plan to take that aspect away, I really enjoy it.

I am really wondering if there are any TS's out there that acually try and plan to keep there genitic genitals, and the full ability to use them.  Please tell me I am not the only one.

As much harder as life is to pass without these adders I find it all worth it.

In retrospect though I guess there are more TS like me, but the only ones I have ever seen are pornstars!!! and who knows how real that all is.

I seriously doubt I will orgasm after SRS as I ever did before.  I still want it.  I want to be sensitive though.  I really want a quality SRS.  BTW  Hi Melissa90299.  Its Angela  we met at the Dr's office 3 weeks ago, I was with my mother.  You told me about this website.  Im still recovering at home from the surgery.  I lost your number call me if you still have mine or e mail me.  I'm trying to stay in touch with everyone I met. This website wont let me e mail you and I have just given up on it.  Anyway take care and I hope things are going well.

Ok dont take me wrong here, and maybe I am wrong but here is how I have always understood it.

We are all Transgendered even Crossdressers, that is the main category.

the Sub categorys are CD and TS. The extent to which your ->-bleeped-<- takes you.

I have always considered myself TS because of the distinct need to live fulltime.

Also I have many read many definitions of TS that do not denotate the need for SRS or any other surgery for that matter.
I have always felt that was misunderstood about the def Transsexual.

Again maybe I am just wrong. But even this very site seems to support that as the title of the whole site is the Transgender forums, and it sub categorys are CD and TS.  Maybe there is something I am missing.  thanks for every 1's help

trans is the umbrella
cd dress to express thier 'feminine side' or some other reason
tvs have a sexual fettinsh with dressing
the andrognyne band (says the it on the tin)
Transexuals - those who dont fit with thier birth body, and change it to become that of the oposite sex, thats complete...
transGENDER is sortof your dont want to go whole hog... non op, non hrt, etc...

I always thought TG itself was the umbrella term.  I guess its a little of both.  We're all TG, just as much as when you don't identify any other way, TG covers everything else.

well Trans is the new umbrella as adopted by the uk national lgbt...

and personally im not transgender... my gender is perfectly fine im a girl, in a girlISH body now my gender is perfectly fine, and will be aligned finally eventually
R

I really disagree i think Transgender is the umbrella,  If you break it down into its latin roots, your a transgender.

CD need to express ones feminity
TS Need to express ones feminity ALL THE TIME
TV need to express ones feminity sexualy

Is something I could agree upon for this post though however I have seen it viewed by alot of sites as

Please read the below taken from the WIKI

In the 1960s Harry Benjamin and others started working with people showing transvestite behaviour again. Trying to press transvestite behaviour into a two-gendered framework produced a very significant result: transsexualism. Unlike Hirschfeld, who had tried to find a social space where third-gendered people could live the way they needed or wanted, people showing other-gendered behaviour now were forced to find a way of living as "proper men" or "proper women". And if a person could not be "cured" of transvestite behaviour, it seemed the best to make them "change sex". Those who refused or were refused this "cure" were labeled either homosexuals or sexual fetishists.

Since transsexual people had and sometimes still have to "prove" that they are not "just transvestites" to get access to medical treatment, people who see themselves as transsexuals occasionally discriminate against anything they see as "transvestism" even more strongly than the public in general.

Today, some people still associate homosexuality, transvestic fetishism and transsexualism with transvestism both alone and in various combinations.




So this will probally piss a few off, so bear with me, I am not meaning to be rude I just seek understanding with all my fellow girls in this community for the sake of acceptance and non predjuduce

SO ALL IN ALL why is it that people like me are labeled transvestic fetishism, just cause I dont wanna cut off my penis, and choose to maintain the abilty to orgasm, as well as my full ability to think the way I always have (non HRT) after all this way of thinking is what I regarded made me happy with the fact that I am a TG/TS whether it is considered male or female ( I consider my self 50%female, 50%  male)


Really I feel more and more every day that there is a NEW CLASS of TS that needs to be taken into account.

IF YOU FEEL:

More than or equal to 51% Female and 49% male you are a TS
More than or equal to 51% Male and 49% female you are a CD

No what about those that search there souls for years and really decide there are 50/50.

WHAT ARE WE and why is it that I feel I am always being labeled TRANSVESTIC FETISHISM

+1 VOTE FOR : I would have SRS even if told I would never have another orgasm again.

i vote #4, orgasm would be nice but to feel whole is whats more important to me in the long term.

maragirlygirr... um, a lot of what you posted is old views....

to be honest, id rather have my cloths fit right, and not have this thing even if i was left with a smooth flat area and no vagina...
orgasmic ability doesnt bother me too much. it would be nice. but id need a guy first! afterall, ive still got buttsechs if all goes pearshaped

I agree and feel the same way about it as you do Rachael. 

As this is an international support web site we use the generally accepted terms that are used with regards to the Transgender community, with Transgender being the umbrella term that includes TS, TV, CD, IS, Androgyne, etc, etc.

Different countries may or do use different terms or use the defined terms differently.

IMHO, that's still really more appropriate of CDrs. Crossdressing fulltime doesn't make one a transsexual. Most diagnostic definitions for being a transsexual require a discomfort with one's male body, not just the male clothes.

Being transsexual, IMHO, has nothing to do with needing to be feminine, yet everything to do with being FEMALE.

I voted the fourth option. Sex is of no concern to me whatsoever.
