Choosing to Transition PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 06 August 2005
 

In the past few months since my decision to start transitioning I have come to the realization that many people think that this decision is not well thought through and somewhat ill conceived. I think that many of us transsexuals encounter this type of attitude from many who do not fully understand just what it takes to come to this decision. Maybe through this article I can cast a bit of light on what it takes and to dispel some of the misunderstandings, confusion and prejudices we have to face.
Transgenderism PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 06 August 2005
 

Transgenderism is the practice of transgressing gender norms.

Transgender folks come in several flavours:

  • FTM (female to male) are people who were born female but see themselves as partly to fully masculine.
  • MTF (male to female) are people who were born male but see themselves as partly to fully feminine.
  • Intersexed are those born with some combination of male and female physiology, who may accept as natural their mixed gender.


Have Passport, will travel PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 06 August 2005
 

Easier said than done, one might say.  For some people the above statement ?have passport, will travel? means just that.

Until very recently, transgender people struggled with the whole process to get their ID documents altered to the desired gender in order to make life more ?user friendly?.

ID documents play a much larger role in one?s life than one can imagine. Until confronted with gender issues, one does not realise how almost everything that needs to be done depends on it.
