What's The Difference Between Transsexual & Transgender?

It's complicated. Transgender” is an umbrella term that covers many diverse groups that have little or nothing to do with each other. Many people assume it refers just to transsexual people, but they are wrong.

Transsexual people only represent a small fraction of those who are considered “transgender”. And for the record a transsexual person is someone who was born with a brain-body mismatch, literally a female brain in a male body or vice-versa. It is a naturally occurring birth condition.

Through the process of TRANSITION transsexual people change their bodies to match the true inner gender and assume a gender appropriate role in society. Also one does not “become” transsexual; as I said we are BORN that way. Transgender” refers to anyone who varies from the societal norms for their gender as assigned at birth.

Besides transsexual people other groups under the transgender umbrella include: Cross-dressers (obsolete term was “transvestite”) Drag queens Drag kings Androgynes Genderqueer Genderfluid Non-binary Genderf*ck A-gender Bi-gender Two-spirit Neutrois And more.

To further complicate things: Many transsexual people don't like to use the term "transsexual" because of the stigma attached to the word, so many think it's about sex, not gender. Anywho, as a result many transsexual people today use the umbrella term "transgender" instead.

You really have to ask the person involved which they prefer. Personally I don't use either term except when I'm online. Off-line I'm just plain female.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
