What is Trans-Gender? How I see the spectrum....

What is Trans-Gender? How I see the spectrum.... I've been thinking on this for a few years now and have decided that I do not fit the typical "scientific" definitions at all. Gender can be compared to Light. It is a whole spectrum with an infinate number of possitions from one end to the other. Lets also state here that "Sex" is what's between the legs, and "Gender" can be considered what lies between the ears, ie how we feel. This is all my own opinion with no basis in science. Also, this applies to Male and Female Trans-people. At one end you have the cross dresser who is basicaly a guy who likes to wear womens clothes. He is still a male physicaly, mentaly, and emotionaly. He does not make any attempt at "BEING" a woman. He just gets off sexualy or eroticaly by wearing womens clothes. Trans-Gender comes next on my spectrum. These are genetic males who feel within them that they are of the female gender but outwardly they are male. When they dress as a Woman, they ARE a Woman in sum and total. Not only in looks but manners, actions, walk, talk, and thought. Some live full time, others like myself can only express outwardly our female gender part of the time. Some are progressing towards the next portion of the spectrum, others are happy where they are. Trans-Sexual is the far end of the spectrum. These are girls who want to become women, are activly changing their bodies to become women, or have finished the process of sexual reasignment surgery. These girls are actually making the physical changes needed to become Women, because inside they are nothing but a Woman and have an increadable drive to correct what nature got wrong. Now, where do I sit along this spectrum you ask? Well I have in the past told people about the spectrum and that it could be seen as a string held taught and then told them that I am the little butterfly flitting up and down and around that string not wanting to perch at any one point. I also feel VERY strongly that if one can be Bi-sexual, that is attracted to both sexes, that one can also be Bi-Gender and have both Genders residing in one body. So in all of my meditations and thinking on the subject of ME, I consider myself a Bi-Gender person. Oh and on the matter of sexual attraction? I am solely attracted to women, which makes me a Lesbian when I display my alternate female gender. So...a Trans-Lesbian. Hope this helps understand me a bit more. I know it has helped me think out my feelings. Bigg Huggs SLH |

Very well written, i think u hit the nail right on the head. beauty shouldnt be defined by gender, but by who it is within. i think u r beautiful.

I like that you highlight that there are a variety of motivations behind being a CD/TV and thus also a variety of different kinds of behaviors within this diverse category whose one commonality is that they wear the clothing normally associated with the opposite sex. Although I try to avoid language that makes CDs appear as substandard. We have enough problems in the TG community without setting up some sort of elitist hierarchy with in it.
