once she get's surgery it's transsexual, it's transgender as soon as she starts living life as a man, thinking she is one.

of course gender being purely psychological is very theoretical. There is plenty of research out there that tells us genes play a huge roll in one's gender.

That would be a hermafidite. A transgendered person is someone that is taking hormones and living as the opposite sex.

I believe it's hermaphrodite. I think I may be mixing up transgender & transsexual. Hearkening back to my intro to Sociology class I'm remembering that gender is more a state of mind than physical appearance.
Transgender and transsexual are the same thing. They are synonyms.

Gender is what sex you are. This is a biology issue. Going from one to the other is trans, as in transforming.

Hermaphrodite is extremely rare: less than 20 people worldwide.

As for the psychological aspects of this, that's a whole new discusion.


Wrong: 1-in-25,000 births are Hermaphrodite (Intersex).

You are wrong.

Hermaphrodites are not just intersex. True hermaphrodism is extremely rare. 2 full sets of functional sexual organs. That is what hermaphrodism is. A woman with a 2 inch clit is not hermaphroditic.

No, transgender means he/she is in the process of switching over. Hermaphrodite means you have booth hookups.

It's also a physiological difference... mind is wired different, hormones are different, different chromosomes alter how the body works...
