What it feels like to be sex-changed? (some night tv story inspired the issue)
There are men and there are women. There are men who want to become women and women who want to become men. And there are people who become saucer-eyed at learning that an oh-I thought-she/he-was- such-a-nice-plain-girl/boy person is no more Sheryl, but Charlie, or some Simon now wears high-heels and pink hot pants. May those people not fall into a trance handshaking with a trans!
Transgenderism is not a perversion! - That’s what I am EAGER to explain and tear off the odious label.
People who are "transgender" are those who live outside the gender "norms" in which they were born and thus “naturally” need to undergo surgery interference. They do not conform to the ways that many people believe men or women should behave as appropriate to their genders.
Nowadays some categories of transgenders are distinguished:
Crossdressers: Previously known as "transvestites," people that are quite content with their gender by birth, but choose to dress up as opposite gender, they also take “ill-normal” way of behaving. Crossdressers wear clothing of the opposite gender because they feel more comfortable dressed as such. They are NOT necessarily gay, nor do they necessarily want to undergo sexual reassignment; it is purely a choice they make about how to dress.
Drag performers: Drag performers, the male half of which is sometimes referred to as "drag queens," are those who dress up as and use the manners of the opposite sex for the purpose of entertaining an audience. Take Sergei Penkin.
Transsexuals: This group of individuals was born into one gender but identifies emotionally and psychologically with the other. These are people who feel that they were born in the wrong body and will often do everything they can to remedy it.
People who identify themselves as transgender may date men, women, both, other transgendered people, or no one at all. Anatomical sex (biological identification to being male or female (you either are XY or XX), Sexual Preference (can be straight, gay, bi, or none) and gender identity (social and psychological parameter of being a masculine or a feminine ) are very distinct concepts that are not necessarily linked together. Though it is particularly the biological “error” that causes the abnormity of gender.
As we know, ALL fetuses start out in female form and then alter to the male if the child is destined to be a man. Different parts of the body development are triggered at different points in the pregnancy. Recent medical theories of transsexualism prove that at the 12th to 14th week of pregnancy, a developing male fetus must receive a flush of testosterone over the brain in order to make it work in the male way. If that hormonal flush does not happen, the body will develop male, but the brain will be functioning in a female way.
So, why not to get rid off spell biology cast on a person? Why violate the mind inserted into the wrong container? In the long run, every creature in this world has its right on happiness. Even the creature that nature played a trick upon. Or made a mistake, not to hurt one’s feelings.
Now medicine can grant some Mary’s wish to have beard and moustache or some Bobby’s craving for tiny waist and feminine voice. Actually, these are the ways to above-mentioned happiness. Sex-change operation allows people to be able to live in their skin.
