I'm trans and have always told people before I start relationships with them, but yeah, I know that there are some trans-people out there who don't and end up with bad results *shrugs*

That's definitely true.  I think it's because of the whole anonymity of it all.  Just like you may not want to tell your friends personal things but your to your therapist you're an open book.  I also think it's a bit of laziness.  Some of the questions can easilly be "googled" to find the answer.  But, it's fun too.

because they want to think that we live in a perfect world where men love women and things are concrete, but things are not always concrete and times change.  people are not ashamed of homsexuality anymore and that scares people so the easiest thing to do is blame the people who engage in these activities because blaming it on hormones and dna would be blaming god, and anything that he does can't be wrong.

This should help...\n\nQ: Can a transsexual be fully a woman?\nA: Yes, but to a point- hormonally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally (basically all the aspects of being a female that society considers important), but not genetically- a person who got a sex change will still have XY, or male, chromosomes. A test for XX (female) or XY (male) will show that the person is genetically male.\n\nSome people don't believe this, that "you can always tell" a person got a sex change based on the look of their genitals, and this is wrong. Female genitals come in a huge variety of different looks- no female looks exactly any ther female in the genital department. There is a good chance that a gynecologist won't be able to tell, and they specialize in what vaginas look like. For all intents and purposes, internally, you would look like a hysterectomized female- vagina, but no cervix (opening that leads into the womb).\n\nA real transsexual desires to be fully transformed into a woman, and no half steps will be acceptable. They will not be happy AT ALL with having male parts on their crotch- it's embarassing to them and disgusts them that they have male parts attached to them. A transsexual sees a penis as something foreign attached to their body- that it shouldn't be there in the first place. A transsexual also doesn't want to become a woman because of a fetish- there is no erotic component to transformation for them. A transsexual is a woman in a male body, so I refer to them as "she".\n\nNow, a man who has a fetish about being feminized will seek breast implants, may take a few hormones (but nothing like a transsexual, who takes them every day, nonstop), and get some surgeries to make them look more female. I must reinforce the idea here that THEY ARE MEN. They have no desire to have their penis removed, they just have a sexual fetish about being a woman.\n\nSometimes, when a real transsexual is in the middle of their transition and they need money to get more operations, AND they still have male parts, some will swallow their pride and go into the pornogarphy business to make money to finish their transformations. They don't like it, but they will do it to get money to get their sex changes. Some persons that are half woman-half man are really men and just in the business to satisfy another fetish- they are also exhibitionists. \n\nI don't know what the numbers are for the proportion of real transsexuals and shemale exhibitionists, but a transsexual is in it for one thing only- to get money to get a sex change. A fetishist would be in it just to satisfy a fetish. If a person in this situation is constantly talking about getting a sex change, they are more than likely a real transsexual, and as soon as they can afford a sex change, they will be out of the business.

As someone who has researched this for personal reasons, I can tell you that US court precedents do not recognize sex changes for the purpose of marriage. The 'logic' is that DNA determines sex, not sexual organs. Personally, I disagree with that.\n\nIs the relationship still a homosexual one? Probably, but if you prefer MtF transsexuals, you should not let something as meaningless as labels bother you.

boys cover up their feelings because they are so dumb that they can't be honest aand open enough to tell a girl that they have feelings. but then again they might be scared but i think that a boy should be man enough to be honest about his feelings what are they so scared of that they can't tell their feelings.

Transgendered is some one who feels there mind (and some times spirit) gender dose not match there body's sex. They do the best they can to make things as close to the way as they should be as they can... some just doing there best to appear as the gender they fell they are, others going through with a sex change.\n\nIntersexed is prity much a third gender.... Some one that is intersexed is neather male nor female. Some exsamples are males with a totaly female form, females with a totaly male form, mixes of developed and underdevloped sexual organs, or full hermaphrodites. They make up about 1/100 ~ 1/1000th of the human population and are the rusult of uncommon DNA sex gen combinations (like XXY, XYY, XXXY, XXYY, ect ect ect), or from chimara's (where one body has more than one set of DNA... the DNA differing in serten area's from another).

Because they live by the motto, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it." See former Pres Clinton.\n\nWhen FORCED to admit they are wrong they do not take it well and are very resentful\n\nI think it's a side effect of testosterone. \n\nBut then they might not do it because we women are like elephants and never forget! And we'll forever keep bringing up a admitted wrong by our guy to use as proof that we're always right.\nThat might get old for them.

Some of the people who answer these things are just guessing for two points - and have no clue what a transsexual is.  Boy George is gay, Ru Paul is a drag queen.  None of these is transsexual.  Look it up in the dictionary people!  Alexis Arquette is correct (forgot who answered that) and also Renee Richards (doctor and tennis player).  There is also a race car drive (the name escapes me) who raced as a man and now races as a woman.  Unfortunately, trans people have been in the closet most of the time (unless outed), but slowly we've been able to see more and more trans people in the public eye.

Transsexuals are the other gender, I think. Because they're men or women who want to be the other sex.

That's one possible "benefit" of being GLBT. We aren't (most) immadiately identifyable. Some times you can bounce between the two world and most of the time it isn't anyone's business. Sometimes you benefit from not being identified. Its not fair but most people do it (straight or gay) to some extent. Acting like you know more about cars so you don't get gouged by a mechanic for example. I don't get offended. But its not a compliment to be called something you are not.

Because they think it makes them more manly and more desirable. If they would understand that has nothing to do with what kind of man they are, the world would be a better place. Plus, men are just born to lie!

It isn't.  Transexuals are people that feel they are in the wrong body, like a man that feels like he is a woman inside.  There are actual studies now showing there may be justification of that due to brain patterns and abnormalties.  Their brains and activity show a closer corilation to the opposite sex rather than the one they are.

b/c they feel comfortable around their own types due to the fact they are uncomfortable with who they are or what they represent.  This also lets them hide from dealing with the difficulties of the "real world" as others with balls do daily.

it has nothing to do with gender.  People lie period. It has to do with integrity,  You either have it or you don't.  There are also situations where a person in a relationship becomes a minimizer or a maximizer,.  If someone doesn't want consequences to their actions, they will minimize and the other will automatically maximize.

Lying about your gender seems downright creepy.  I don't like to give out my age or other personal information to people I don't know and I don't visit chatrooms anymore as there weren't any interesting conversationalists anyway, just over the hill horny guys sending you skanky naked pics of themselves.   \n\nI think a lot of people do make up information about themselves when they go into chatrooms and they don't consider it lying because they don't ever intend on seeing the person face to face, or they consider it "trying on a new personality".    They don't realize that some people they are communicating with take them as being for real and may hurt a real person's feelings.  \n\nMy personal advice is if you visit a chatroom, look at it as a form of entertainment to pass your time, but don't really think you are going to meet a good friend or soulmate through that venue.  It is hard enough getting to really know someone face-to-face, let alone through an electronic medium.

I dont think that this means the world is going crazy, it means there are people who truley believe that they were born in the wrong genders body. It is hard for alot of us to accept the thought that someone might want to have their penis removed, or breasts removed, or penis attached, but its not us that have to deal with the turmoil that these people go through thier entire lives. I used to think as you do at one time, until I met some transexuals and got to talking to them. I now understand better what they are going through. You might try to do the same.
