I love the word transsexual for describing myself but I can’t use that in public 😭🙏

got bad reactions last time I used it for myself and I’m waiting until people become ok with it as an identity like they did with queer

I feel like people just don’t know that there’s a difference but we’re all under the trans umbrella. I’m still technically transgender even though according to definition I’m transsexual. Plus there’s famous transsexuals who say shit things to distance themselves from ‘transgender people’ for… optics??

I always understood sex as a chromosomes thing and gender is the construct built around our associations of sex. What utility does this new definition of sex have?

I'm blunt ast and clearly ppl don't like the truth, that's why I got a ton of downvotes. I can predict the future too, I bet I'll get a ton of downvotes for this comment too simply for being truthful.

we can be queer and not be THAT kind of queer

Also as a transfem, the reason why I say this person wants attention is because deep down inside everyone knows you can’t change your sex, you can only change your external appearance. Posting things like what OP said is rage baiting and they basically just want a reaction.

the sexual binary is a construct, sorry if that’s your reality but it’s not reality.

Sex is not entirely* chromosomal. But you can only see someone’s chromosomal sex if you test for them. When you do that you find that there are plenty of people who do not have xx or xy chromosomes, and thus your definition of sex is missing genitalia, which (especially for humans) is a defining factor in determining sex. Transsexuals are defined by desire to make the sex-defining organs match what their gender identity is.

Chromosomes can be a definition of sex but it comes with the issue that there are a lot of pairings and we don’t test it often so it’s unclear how many people divert from the “norm” of xx and xy. But what I would define sex as is a cluster of physiological characteristics, this could be affected by your genitals and whatever hormones you had during puberty but also when undergoing hrt your body will actually pull to one side or the other and doctors will actually refer to you as male or female

99% of people don’t know their chromosomes, the societal perception of someone’s sex isn’t based on chromosomes unless it’s based on other assumptions

This is important to know because trans women and men can have female and male specific health problems and if you do hrt you gotta know them

sex itself is not a construct as primary/secondary sexual characteristics are very tangible. however binary sex IS a construct. it’s a really fascinating topic and I recc looking into it

There are other sex characteristics besides reproductive genitalia that are changed by just hrt with surgery

exactly thank you, and as trans people we often fall within the middle parts (or at least I do #nonbon)

Anonymous #7 17h

Exactly! If we used chromosomal sex as an indicator for sex we’d have more than 3. It factors in physically through birth, but realistically after formation of genitalia you’re going to be referred to as whatever sex it looks. genitalia determines sex societally, not chromosomes

Anonymous #7 17h

i actually completely go by different pronouns than i was assigned at birth and i dont respect people invalidating the people who dont have access to resources for genital surgeries. gender is such a spectrum that you could decide it was a bad choice to even get that surgery in the future

you’re making up shit to get mad about because you’re ignorant about another’s identity. you’re a trans person and should know better. shame on you.

What does this have to do with anything? You were getting pissy that people have a better understanding of something than you do and called us “too woke” for not thinking surface level about sex (a notoriously complex thing) not a single person is invaliding anyone cause sex doesn’t equal gender

Anonymous #7 15h

not trans. this is exactly why it’s a spectrum

Anonymous #3 15h

exactly it doesn’t so why randomly state you’re changing your genitalia and basically saying that’s the only way to be trans

you’re still making up shit to be mad at, and if you’re not trans then this isn’t about you?? so fuck off if you’re not going to listen to trans people.

i actually read it wrong. thought they were saying hrt was the only way to be trans. i completely apologize, i am definitely open to learning more ab the trans community

Anonymous #2 15h

ok thank you for understanding, I take back any insults I made since you’re open to listening. identifying as transsexual is a celebration of wanting/achieving some level of medical transition, and it mirrors yet differs from the gender spectrum. someone here mentioned not being transgender but being transsexual, for example. I myself am non-binary but am “fully” medically transitioning.

16

Anonymous #2 15h

ofc this isn’t meant to invalidate people who aren’t/can’t medically transition. i actually know people who can’t medically transition yet but identify as transsexual (just like how someone’s boy/girlmoding but is still trans). it’s an identity and in no way meant to invalidate others, just like how trans women aren’t invalidating non-binary trans fems by being “more transfem.” there’s not meant to be an implication of hierarchy, it’s really just specifying who you are

Transgender is anyone who feels a different gender than they were assigned. Transsexuals want to medically transition and change sex characteristics. All transsexuals are transgender not all transgenders are transsexual. They’re are both binary and non binary transsexual people.
