fix:
You have not proven what the transgenderists claim. In fact, the above article suports McHugh’s assertions. Chromosomes determine whether we are male or female. Other influencing factors exist for sure, but we are either male or female. These issues revolove around psychiatric problems that need to addressed. Other congenital anonmalies exist, but I can’t see how they prove your position?
Fix, each time you mention srs in the same vein as transgendered that it itself attributes transsexuals to that mis-applied social construct.
You seem to take as more valid the psychiatric findings that are usually linked to transgendered and that is understandable since they outnumber transsexuals by a margin estimated at 100 to 1 under the GID construed formula and some claim they outnumber even the homosexual community.
Most of the psychiatric problems that transsexuals face are imposed by the bigotry and prejudice of those supposed ‘enlightened’ folks like the psychiatrists and therapists that often confuse the separate issues of transsexualism and transgenderism. Their opinions are often used as absolutes in arguments presented to society which includes church leaders.
I would have no problem if the TS was not measured as if cosigned to the heterosexual transvestite, the gay crossdresser, the she-males, the drag-queens, etc.- the transgendered. But it is very difficult to separate facts from fiction and opinion when the findings are selective and at the same time intertwined as if common to all.
You have provided no concrete evidence. Your ‘facts’ have consistently been psychiatric opinions which we all know are derived from an inexact science to begin with. I and others have provided you links to research papers that are based upon factual studies that can be and have been validated by further evidence. That though does not seem to be accepted by those who would rather base their statements on simply unfounded opinions and mix them in with religious misunderstanding which selectively support their own bias, clinical or otherwise.
I am a very moral person. Did not have my srs for sexual reasons although I do function as a female in a normal sense. After all I am married to a man. So many try to attach those like me to porn and fetish groups and I deeply resent it. I was born with a biological problem and actually have been found to be without any mental aberration by top line psychiatric experts. So, in your opinion, for what should I be treated? Your assumptions are clouded perhaps by might be’s, could be’s and/or should be’s?
I lost family, profession, friends, money, status and was caste out for only wanting to transition and to be me. It is amazing perhaps that I suffer no mental disorder requiring treatment. In fact I have been evaluated and found quite normal by professionals. I don’t put much stock in most opinions by the so-called ‘experts’ though for it does not mean much to me. I have seen in them much contradiction and division of opinions that can and have been skewed to suit a self serving purpose usually intended to thicken the wallet. Too many Freud’s, Jung’s, McHugh’s, Kinsey’s, Blanchard’s, Bailey’s, etc. out there for me to find wide ranging truth and understanding in that discipline. Might as go to a corner palm reader and be better served in most cases.
I found comfort in simple discussion with my parish priest when I was stressed by the hate and prejudiced. Now that parish priest is being influenced to see us as somewhat less for what we have done because of some secret doctrine alluded to but not clearly defined nor allowed to be presented for open discussion.
The so-called merits of srs are not debatable for me and for many others. It is a disgrace that so many shrinks and self pronounced experts are mixing the transssexuals in with the transgendered and thereby, perhaps unknowingly, creating a confusing hierarchy group where the pseudo types think that they are in need to climb a ladder towards an ultimate achievement goal of srs. That is sick and fostered by the psychiatric mentality which seems to insist upon joining all so-called GID types under one single label and referring them all as cosigned to the transgendered. Transgendered was coined by a transvestite to mask his fetishism so how has it happened that the longer established term of transsexual has somehow become a sub-set of that mix of confusion in the minds of some? I ‘trans’ed’ my sex to meld with my brain gender. I did not ‘tran’s’ my gender since it was female from birth.
