See, this is the kind of nonsense that makes me lose you guys. No, you were at one point male. Fine. You had a strong desire to be female, and so you took action to change that and become female. Also totally cool.
But let's not pretend you were somehow, mystically, always female. You weren't. Physically you did not "resemble" a male, you were male. The labels of male and female only makes sense within a discussion of physical traits. Gender identification is nonsense, and this is just one of the many, many reasons why that is the case. On the one hand, you people want to say gender and sex are not related (which I agree with), but then you turn right around and spew this double-think. "Oh, I wasn't a guy, I was always female, I just didn't have the right body."
Come on. Seriously?

Fixed, even I know the difference between gender and sex. You can identify with whatever gender you want, but it's impossible to identify with another sex.
Sex: Male and Female (Not sure if intersex counts or not, though)
Gender: Man, Woman, Other

The problem seems to be that you have no idea how being transgender works.
A MtF transgender woman didn't change herself to a girl. What she did was accomodate her body and lifestyle to her pre-existing gender identity. Not going through gender confirmation surgery won't make you any less transgender.
Furthermore, refusing to acknowledge a transgender person's gender identity is not only impolite, it can also be psychologically damaging.Haladrien wrote:Eventually I am going to type "it" out of pure habit.
Never refer to a fellow human being as "it". Being transgender doesn't make anyone less human.

Physically. Seriously, I even said that. Look, psychology differs from physiology because of the fact it's not a gene expression. Consider the SRY Gene in males which is supposed to develop sexual organs. If that gene malfunctions, which it does, it results in a female phenotype. The female can identify as male and yet appear female. I admit, resemble was not the correct word, no a better word would be just straight up, "was biologically male." I apologise for that.
But to discount the fact that these people may in fact be victims of genetic disorders or diseases is absurd. This is why psychology is so much different from biologically. The phenotype is not the same as the genotype in all cases. Read these for instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_chromosome_disorders
I think it should also be said I am a cis-Male with no problem with my gender or sex.

So, people who let say dont want to hang out with people who are stinking are pussies? Insert stinking people with transgender and you have the same effect.

Gender is extremely important to many people and it absolutely does exist. Male and female are genders as well as sexes. Someone who has always belonged to the female gender while belonging to the male sex was always female. You do not address someone by their sexual organs, but their identity.Aurora Novus wrote:Kelinfort wrote:Physically. Seriously, I even said that.

I fail to see how this in anyway is a response to the point I was making. The terms "male" and "female" only make sense in a discussion of the physical. There is no such thing as a "male" or "female" gender. You are not a man due to psychology, nor a woman. There are only traits, which can appear in any sex.
Gender itself is a useless, and argubaly harmful, social construct. It's a false reality. So, no, if you're MtF, you weren't "always female" just because you claim your gender is female. You were still male (barring some potential biological curiosities, like you've pointed out). To call yourself a man or woman based on gender identity is meaningless and nonsensical.

I don't mind using the pronouns for people's preferred genders.
But I refuse to use stupid ass made up pronouns like xi, hir, shi, ze, si, tre, ny, sfhsdgje, dsgdfgdfgi, fguhegerjgho, etc. I'd rather be rude than to put my tongue through all that work.
Nevertheless, 'he', 'she', or even 'it' if it's okay for some reason, is fine by me.
