"What's a ladyboy then ? Hot A. A pre-op transsexual B. An insult to trans people" That's a bit odd How is sow one who is pre-op an insult to trans people? Every trans person who is post op will have been pre-op themselves and many are perfectly happy remaining pre op. | |||

"Transgender (Trans or TG for short) is an umbrella term to encompass anyone on the spectrum of people from crossdressers who dont do make up etc, to Cd's who do dress fully, to TV's, to Tgirls.... all the way through to full on transexual... all fall into the TG category... " Not according to the dictionary. Cd's and tv's are not transgender. They're dressing for a thrill. | |||

"What's a ladyboy then . They mean the term "ladyboy" is an insult to trans people." Ah, ha. Thanks for pointing that out. Funny how read in a different light it makes perfect sense. :- 
I don't think Ladyboy is an abusive term though (clearly I wouldn't.)
It simply tends to be a term used in relation to south Asian trans people.
Our social group is made up a a few dozen Thai and Filipino trans people who all refer to themselves as Ladyboys. | |||

Sorry Cat, I wasn't trying to make any point but was commenting that when someone asked a simple and Inocent question about the terms of reference it's reasonable to try and explain. This invariably leads to cries of "don't label people" and " I am not a label, I am a free man/woman/tv/ts/cd/tg/tranny/transvestite/t-girl/t-boy/transsexual/pansexual/ladyboy/bakla" | |||

"The following is MY guide: HPW - Hairy Panty Wearer: a man who wears female underwear for sexual gratification and makes no effort to feminise himself, i.e no shaving of facial or body hair, no makeup, no wig, no feminine grace. CD - Cross Dresser: a man who puts on female clothing for sexual gratification. May wear a wig, may shave, may wear makeup, no feminine grace. TV - Transvestite: a man who will make every effort to look female and be feminine, with varying degrees of success. Again, for sexual gratification TS/TG - Transsexual/Transgender: a person who feels they were not assigned the gender they should be. They may be decide to go down the route of gender reassignment, or they may not. They may dress full time as the gender they feel they should be, or they may not. I hope the above helps to clarify things for some if you." | |||

"Who understands the term Binary as i can't get me heed around that new 1 . " In a binary system you have two options. 1 or 0 in computing. Binary gender means male or female. Some people have started to question if we in fact have more variations of gender than just two. Like sexuality has more than just gay or straight, perhaps gender has more than male or female. In fact gender *does* have more than just male or female. There are people who are physically not male or female (intersex) and there are people who are psychologically not male or female (like myself). People who are psychologically not male or female may or may not have surgery to make their physical bodies different to how they were born. The academic word for 'binary gender' is 'the bigender paradigm'. Our world mostly subscribes to the bigender paradigm - but it is possible (and indeed desirable) to consider the possibility of other gender paradigms. | |||
