Gender Identity

What is Transsexualism

Many people are confused by the idea of transsexualism, which is a term that describes those who are transgenders. Some feel these people are simply confused about which gender they are, due to events that happened early in life. Others feel they are people who were physically altered at or near birth and had no choice about which gender they were brought up as. However, transgenders are people from both groups and they exist worldwide.

Most debates surround transgenders who were born and raised as the sex they are genetically defined to be. Some in society feel this "condition" is just an excuse to practice homosexuality, while others believe abuse and rejection from the opposite or same sex played a role in this gender confusion. Regardless of how the person feels, transgenders are left with the question: Did God make a mistake with me? They may never get the answer they're searching for, but transsexualism for these people is highly confusing.

The second group of people, those physically altered at birth, tend to be seen as victims. But, this doesn't help with the ridicule for not looking or acting like the sex they were brought up to be. At the same time, the transsexualism problem is easily identifiable, as these people are usually on hormone therapy and have been for quite some time. Some transgender dating leads to marriage and later one person discovers their true gender identity through medical records or a DNA test. With this knowledge, some will have transgender surgery. Though most people can discover their true gender through testing there are a few who even have ambiguous DNA - both male and female.

For those dealing with transsexualism, the need to feel accepted and loved for who they are and not what they're dealing with is a high priority. Some in society try to hide these people away, but really have no understanding of what transgenders go through or who they are. Despite how society feels, there is a need for transgender help for these people to be able to sort out their feelings of confusion, whether from feeling wrong in their own skin or because of having been physically altered at birth.
