Naught for nothing here but...huh? So you see all this as body modification like piercings or tattoos or sub-dermal implants? I guess I don't see your definition of TS.
No, of course not, in no way it is. Its expensive, it takes years, it takes suffering. Pretty aware of it all. I am not transsexual because first I don't feel like one, and second because I won't go through SRS or identity change.
The crossdressing community is one that needs to stick together and continue to be there for each other for whatever one needs. We are always trying to improve the forum to better serve the crossdresser in all of us.
