Trans-Gendered People
The term “Trans-Gendered” is very broad. It refers to people who feel in some way that they have been born into the wrong biological gender, as well as people who express confusion, to a greater or less degree, with their gender identity. A “transsexual” is a person who feels that he or she should actually be a member of the opposite sex. Such a person may or not resort to surgery to bring their anatomy in line with their self-image. Both men and women can be transsexuals. “Transvestites” (or “cross dressers”) are usually male. They may be heterosexual or homosexual. They enjoy dressing as women for erotic, aesthetic, emotional or other reasons. Formerly very deeply “in the closet,” members of this broad group are becoming much more assertive in protecting themselves and their interests and in proclaiming themselves as themselves.
