Do you view male to female transsexuals as women if they've had surgery?

They must convince me. Part of this is to not constantly refer to themselves as "transwomen" or "women born transsexual." People who truly identify as (and according to some are physically indistinguishable from) women have nothing at all to prove and no problems to complain about. The second part is, of course, to actually behave with the mannerisms of a woman. Maybe I'm more sensitive in this area, but a lot of people seem to be blind to this aspect.

I view trans folks as transsexuals the moment they say they are female or male. It's a self-diagnosing condition, get it? You people are REALLY caught up with looks. I feel sorry for you and your rigidity. What exactly is the hallmark of a transsexual? Body of one sex, mind of another. Your brain doesn't feminize or masculinize. These people are who they say they are and you need to get yourselves educated if you don't see the truth in that.

I respect peoples gender identity, which doesn't have to reflect their anatomy, genes, or anything else. If a person has a feminine brain, then they will feel as though they are female no matter what anyone says, so it makes sense to respect how they feel. People who Transition don't do it for kicks. Trust me, I know.

I view them as women if they view themselves as women. Simple as that. I don't care if they've had surgery or not and I don't ask.

No, I still view them as men, because that's what they are. You can never change your sex, you can only change the way you appear. You can also never change your chromosomes.

P.S. ------- Kaab----- Couldn't say it any better. Kaab nailed it right on the dot. Can't get any more logical than that, unless you're a politically correct liberal.

EDIT: Yo guys, why so many thumbs down?!?! I'm just voicing my opinion. Common!

never seen one naked....

in fact...I have never even thought of searching for it.

but

in everyday life....

it's gotta be the Full Monte...

not some guy dabbling in cross dressing.

Once had misfortune of doing day labor with flooring guy that wore panty hose under sweatpants and little halter top over man chest.

Ponytail and Tiara.

Running a floor sander:)

a really snarly hissing snippy sarcastic catty bee eye itch

Not graciously holding door open for THAT

No. Surgery does not change their chromosomes or the fact that they were born as men. It's just body modification, not magic.

I'm also a supporter of gay rights which is different from transsexualism.

I refer to them as women when they say they are. and that is usually waaaaaaay before the actual surgery.

These are people who biologically of course were born men....but by an accident of fate they were supposed to be women...so I will treat them as such even if they still DO have a penis.

I'm a supporter of the LGBT community...

I see them as transsexuals because most of the time you can tell they are.

I have respect for them just like I have respect for any other person.

No. They're just men, with fake pu$$ies, that believes that they're women. They can't get pregnant, no periods, and their chromosomes are not XX, maybe XXY. No offense to any homosexuals.
