Any transgender have a complete sex change?

[Presume]

Men don't have sex changes.

You mean people with the male sex that have or express a desire to have a sex change to become the female sex aren't real men? Yeah, I think the consensus is meant to be that they're women. In which case visa-versa would be men.

I guess you are right. I want to know about transgender that have has breast implants and their dick tucked or however that works lol.

If you're just looking for stats, I'm a transgender individual, MtF, who hasn't had any related surgery, LOL. I do do what's known as a 'tuck job' though, whenever I leave the house, though. LOL.

We have a ftm child and definitely think they'd be unlikely to answer your questions when posed like that. Tack and compassion are key.

This. Absolutely.

Basically. I'm answering this myself because I have no expectations here to which I ought to live up, and I don't know if I'll stick about at all. Was just browsing the site and found this thread and figured I was simply fated to answer, or something of that ilk.

I could see my son responding with some snide comment or with a tirade of information. You can't educate those who are determined to stay ignorant but most of my family enjoy the attempt none-the-less. It might just educate a bystander

I find that there's so much misinformation about this topic at the moment, and so many presumptions people will make as a result, it's really just too tiring to get upset about it all the time.
I'll talk about it to people who do want to learn, but otherwise try to avoid those that don't. I'm from Ireland, we only just passed (barely) the legalisation of gay marriage in the country. It'll be a few generations yet before the general opinion on trans folk here isn't, you know, “Ew, lol.”

They just legalized gay marriage on a national level here in the USA on 6/26. Still a lot if protest and debate. Definitely making strides in the right direction but have a long way to go....

Oh, I'd rather have cold and grey than humid because cold and grey can be made into love nest pockets inside, but so grim a Russian complains? .

It's not even cold enough for frost, but somehow it feels colder here than it ought. Possibly because we suck at building heat-efficient buildings

On a related note, everyone here will already be aware that in humans it it the Y chromosome which determines gender (XX= female, XY = male) where as in birds, some fish and other marine animals, gender is determined thus: males ZZ, females ZW. The W chromosome is, like the human Y chromosome, smaller and carries less genetic information.

Being nitpicky: in discussions of transgender issues, it's useful to distinguish between "sex" (used to describe physical configuration) and "gender" (how somebody identifies). Elsewhere the two are used more interchangeably.

X/Y chromosomes have a strong influence on physical sex, but it's not quite a 1/1 relationship. People with XY can grow up apparently female, if something blocks androgen reception in development - the testes never descend and the genitals appear female, so the person may not realise they're anything other than a normal XX female until they start wondering why menstruation isn't happening (cf "CAIS").

There's also a rare condition in which people with XX chromosomes develop as male, because it's not the whole Y chromosome that causes male development patterns - a lot of it comes from one specific gene, SRY, and in some cases SRY breaks off the Y and hitch-hikes on an X chromosome instead.

Yeeeeep.

Not to mention that there are intersex people with configurations like XXY, XYY, and so forth.

My apologies: being new here there are probably many board conventions I am as yet unaware of, in my post I was writing purely from my perspective as a former scientist rather than as a comment on transgender issues. No offence was intended to anyone who is sensitive in respect of terminology.

I don't think you offended anybody, definitely not me Just letting you know of a potential pitfall. It's not so much a board convention as a trans-related terminology thing.
