Switching from doing male things to female things is perfectly natural and anyone who thinks that shows MTFs are just playing women hasn't got the foggiest idea of TSism.

I'm sure lots of CD/TVs/AG/G/L/B/TG do play at the opposite gender but they are easily recognised as their true selves.

Is this "TSism" the simultaneous change of your sex and gender?

Uhm.....no to be rude.....but you make it sound a bit like Dr Jeckyll and Mrs Hyde.
Or totally split, moving from one extreme to the other.

you cannot change gender as thats the inner person.  you only change the sex of the body as far as possible.

I agree. So I don't see why so many people act like they are changing their personality too! 

there was a news item a while back about a scruffy boring old guy whose main pastime was standing drinking beer in  a pub with other men and prattling on about old steam trains.
he disappeared for a week or two and came in again still looking and acting/sounding as boring old guy but announced that he was now a woman as he had been to Thailand and gotten a vagina.
his drinking mates said he was still the same boring old guy without a scrap of femaleness/femininity and bored them stupid with endlessly trying to talk about the workings of steam trains.
we can't be sure of his reason for getting the vagina but maybe he is the definitive AG or has the same magic mirror that many TGs have.

I keep looking for the link to the story but haven't found it yet but will run across it one day.

Nope. I'm still an enormous nerd with the computers. Right now I'm on a fantastic x86 swing: http://www.canyoucrackit.co.uk/

Sounds silly and funny at the same time to me ;-)
I mean did s/he actually show his/her new vagina to his/her pubmates etc?

Or did they believe him/her at face value?

HE was one of those dogmatic old guys so all his mates accepted his statement as truth...I wouldn't want to look at a rough old guys naked body to check if it had a vagina.
