Shemale Tranny Transsexual? Help!
 

Hi!

Can someone, without telling me to Google it please explain the difference between Shemale, Tranny and Transsexuals?

Sorry if these are really dumb questions.

Is a shemale a girl with a penis or a guy with boobs?

Do shemales like to be called a shemale, if not what do they like to be called? Derek?

Is a tranny a transsexual or a transvestite?

A transsexual is a person born one sex that wants to change their body to another sex. Is this the same as a shemale?

Are shemales and transsexuals the same thing?

Thanks.

not sure who are you dating? :) wikipedia is your friend :thumbsup

Tried wiki but they go into too much detail without really helping.

They are all the same thing. A good rule of thumb is if the clit is bigger than an inch its a cock. If it has a cock and tits it's a tranny, or shemale, or ladyboy, those are all cocks of the same name. A transsexual is the technical label for a person who was born in the wrong sex's body.

So is a shemale / tranny / transsexual a female with a dick or a guy with boobs ar can it be both?

Transsexual (derogatorily called "shemale") = Gender identity disorder.
Crossdressing = Guy dressed as a female.

So you are saying that it doesn't need to be a penis, it could be a clit. I never saw one bigger than an inch.

"Gender identity disorder"??

and I never asked about crossdressing.

They are the same. I think the only different terms are ladyboys, sissy and trap.

Ladyboys or (Kathoey) is used mostly when talking about Asian transsexuals.

Sissy and Trap I think are mostly used for young looking shemales, kinda like the term twink in the gay niche.

I know there are some experts on this topic here on this board, so hopefully they will cum in and shed more light into this.

Also, I think the term "tranvestite" might be more related to cross dressing.

So why did Pussycash create a site called Shemale.com (a term which is derogatory to transsexuals) and the have two categories shemales and transsexuals?

Surely if you are going to create a site for transsexuals or shemale lovers you need to understand that using a derogatory term as a domain and not duplicate a category with basically the same name.

wikipedia says something that shemale is she with dick, and transsexual is just a mental thing ... but my weak english, you know ... :winkwink: interesting thread sure :)

If you're looking for linguistically accurate use of terms in porn you're in the wrong business :1orglaugh

First off, terms such as transsexual and crossdresser have different meanings depending on the context they're used: medical, psychological, and porn world.

In porn generally speaking it's like this:
transsexual = tranny = shemale = chicks with dicks = belles with bells.

Most tranny porn lovers like to think of them as women who just happen to have cocks and they generally don't see the term "shemale" as derogatory, it's simply a label.

Then there's individuals such as Buck Angel who is a female to male transsexual.

And then there's post-op trannies like Kimber James, which are the ones that have gone all the way and had their factory equipment chopped off.

Ok, so to clarity. The 3 mentioned in the title are all the same and they are always girls that have "grown a penis"?? - By hormone therapy?
Or is the penis "created" from a clitoris by surgeons?

It's never a guy with boobs???

Some of them are Both a Transsexual and a Shemale. Shemale being in the process of PHYSICALLY changing and Transsexual being the mental side. So they mentally feel as though they were born in the wrong body.

Most are ok being called either as long as you are not being mean spirited. Best thing to do is ask them what they prefer.

A transsexual is someone that goes through transition to their identified gender. A transvestite is more fetishistic and sex based. Tranny and shemale are derogatory terms used mainly in porn etc., and would be like calling a cisgender woman a whore. For the most part, if you were to meet a transwoman that is not a sex worker in any way she would most likely take offense to being called tranny or shemale. Transgender is kind of an overarching term for those that feel they don't fit into the gender binary in some way. Transgender people don't necessarily undergo transition though. Anything else?
