Difference between transgendered and a crossdresser

[Julia_in_Pa]

I fully agree with this Melody.

TS/IS people do not have much in common with the overall gender umbrella.

I take huge offense in being classified as being part of a umbrella term that includes heterosexual men that gain sexual satisfaction from masterbating in pantyhose and attempts to garner some sort of acceptance by claiming transgender status.
This is why you see a ever growing divide between TS/IS people and the term transgender.

Then there are lots of "silly" people out there protesting about this eh?

I am sure they are not silly, some just don't like the term PERIOD especially post-op transsexuals
and intersex people who I have found refuse to be part of any group that calls themselves a
"transgender" support group but have no issues being part of a "Sex and Gender Diverse" group.
You will see this more and more in the future I am sure after some recent meetings I have been to.

Why We Shouldn't Use the Word 'Tranny'
