What are Transgenders?

Has the cross-dresser on the road caught your attention today??

Want to know more about cross-dressers and other people from the transgender community???

If yes, then, this article will is must read for you…

The term ‘transgender’ has been derived from the Latin word ‘trans’ and the English word ‘gender’. Different sorts of individuals come under this category. No particular form of sexual orientation is meant through the term transgender. Heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual & pansexual – transgender people can identify themselves as any one of these types. The way they behave and act differs from the ‘normative’ gender role of men and women.

The ‘gender identity’ of a transgender (who can be male, female, ‘both male and female’ or ‘neither male nor female’) doesn’t go with his/her ‘assigned gender’, which is determined on the basis of a person’s physical or genetic sex. The characteristics that a transgender individual possess may be related to a specific gender, but they may identify somewhere else on the established gender scale. Transgenders can also identify themselves as ‘other’, ‘bigender’, ‘third gender’, ‘intergender’ or ‘agender’.

Though implied in the 1960s, the term ‘transgender’ became popular in the decade of 70s. The people who, without having gender reassignment surgery, had the desire of living cross-gender were described under the term. All the people whose gender assigned at the time of birth do not gell with their gender identity came under the umbrella of the term in the 1980s. The term is still evolving. According the definition by USI LGBT Campaign – Transgender Campaign (Dated 6th March 2007), transgenders are ‘’People who were assigned a gender, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves’’. People of several overlapping categories like transsexuals, cross-gender individuals, cross-dressers, drag queens; drag kings, transvestites, genderqueer and androgynes are included under transgender identity.

Whether people with ambiguous genitilia or intersex individuals are transgender is a matter of debate. For the female-to-male or FTM transgender people, the term ‘transman’ is used whereas MTF (male-to-female) transgender persons are referred by the term ‘transwoman’. The approximate ratio between transwoman and transman is 1:1.

Transsexual individuals, who constitute a major section of transgenders, prefer to live their lives as people from their opposite gender. Hormones and sex reassignment surgery fall under the agenda of several transsexual persons, who crave for a bodily change. The exact reason behind transsexualism is still an issue of research.

Cross-dresser individuals love to wear clothes usually worn by the members of opposite gender. It’s not necessary that cross-genders identify themselves as people of opposite gender or behave that way. In general, they do not opt for a sex change operation and consider themselves as heterosexual.

Drag king and drag queens are primarily performers who get draped in outrageous and larger-than-life costumes worn by the members of opposite sex. Some cross dressers also like to get identified as drag kings and drag queens.

A transvestite simply loves to cross-dress, but if the person has a fetish or obsession for cross-dressing, then the behavior is known as ‘transvestic fetishism’. Sexual play is an important part of the behavior of a transvestite.

A blend of sexual orientations and gender identities is signified by the term Genderqueer, which is a relatively new concept. In the binary sex system, genderqueerness is quite incomprehensible.

If people like to live as the gender other than that assigned at birth, then they are individuals who live cross-gender. For some of these persons, the term transsexual can also be applied. The human beings who live cross-gender without going for sex reassignment surgery are hailed as ‘transgenderists’.

Various expressions like beyond gender, entirely genderless, moving across genders, between genders etc. are used to refer the androgynes. Pangender, intergender, bigender, agender, non-gendered, ambigender people come under androgyne identities. Both physical and psychological androgyny can be observed.

Nowadays in professional literature, sexual orientation of a person is described without putting reference of his/her gender identity. The term ‘androsexual’ signifies ‘attracted to men’ whereas ‘gynosexual’ indicates individuals who are ‘attracted to women’. The phrases ‘attracted to neither’ and ‘attracted to both’ are used too. With respect to the gender identities and preferences of their transgender clients, therapists are gradually selecting separate terms. Though many professionals of this field advise their clients to opt for sex transition operation, this cannot be a solution for all transgender people, especially cross-gender individuals. In many Western as well as non-Western countries, state-of-the-art medical processes are available for transgender people. Among transmen, breast reduction surgery is quite common whereas transwomen love to go for electrolysis or laser hair removal.

In order to reflect their gender identity, many transgender people from the Western society have gone for changing their legal gender in addition to their names. In recent times, the terms ‘transgender and transsexual’ or just ‘trans’ is used with the purpose of respecting those transsexuals who do not wish to get identified as transgender. A person who has undergone ‘transition’ may not identify with the states of transgender or transsexual. They are now just a ‘man’ or a ‘woman’.

Artists, Performers, and Black Masculinity in the Haitian Diaspora

$65

Jana Evans Braziel examines how Haitian diaspora writers, performance artists, and musicians address black masculinity through the Haitian Creole concept of gwo nÃ¨gs, or “big men.” She focuses on six artists and their work: writer Dany LaferriÃ¨re, director Raoul Peck, rap artist Wyclef Jean, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, drag queen performer and poet Assotto Saint, and queer drag king performer Dréd (a.k.a. Mildréd Gerestant). For Braziel, these individuals confront the gendered, sexualized, and racialized boundaries of America’s diaspora communities and openly resist “domestic” imperialism that targets immigrants, minorities, women, gays, and queers. This is a groundbreaking study at the intersections of gender and sexuality with race, ethnicity, nationality, and diaspora.

Associate

$9.99

In this comedy, a woman discovers that it’s impossible to get ahead in business without a man to guide her — so she invents one. Laurel (Whoopi Goldberg) is an expert financial analyst with a top Wall Street brokerage; however, she keeps getting passed over for raises and promotions, and she’s convinced that no one at her firm takes her seriously because she’s a black woman. Frustrated, Laurel and her loyal assistant Sally (Dianne Wiest) open a new firm, but Laurel discovers that her fears were based firmly in reality: male clients don’t want to take financial advice from women, especially women of color. So Laurel invents a white man, Robert S. Cutty, to be the firm’s top adviser. Speaking on Cutty’s behalf, Laurel passes along the fictional man’s advice, which her new clients find to be quite sound, and when they stop by to see him, he always manages to be out of the office (and why wouldn’t a man so successful be busy?). The ruse seems to work, and soon Laurel’s business is going great guns, but an increasingly large number of her clients want to see Cutty face to face, which won’t be easy to pull off. However, with the help of a drag queen, Laurel tries to remake herself into Cutty for a night in order to keep her firm afloat. The Associate was based on a novel by author Jenaro Prieto. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In his own uniquely acid tongue, Paul O’Grady traces the hilarious tales of life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead that took him from a virtuous altar-boy (“my first drag”) to Britain’s best loved entertainer. It’s a life that includes, varyingly, stints in an abbatoir, as a social worker, in a high-class Mayfair brothel, and traipsing down to London to chase his dreams. By 23, Paul O’Grady had been a father, husband, drag queen, gay lover, divorcee, and degenerate. He did it all with a smile on his face, making a mental note to register the whip-smart one-liners that would later inform his star-studded path from the fringes of comedy to the heart of the British establishment, first as his own brilliant comic creation Lily Savage, then, triumphantly, as himself. Paul’s remarkable childhood and early life is littered with a dizzying cast-list of rogues, rascals, lovers, fighters, saints, and sinners. Oh, and one iconic bus conductress. Told with pathos, love, empathy, and naturally, biting humor, the story of Paul O’Grady is that of everyman, everywoman, and inevitably, every drag act ever. He has been rich and poor, posh and common, straight and gay. He has mixed with stars and whores and all that’s in between, slyly spotting the similarity between them all. His amazing and riveting life story reminds us that there is, when all is said and done, a bit of savage in all of us.

When Delia entered treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at age seventeen, her life changed completely: she immersed herself in AA, began to heal old family wounds, and developed a whole new outlook on herself, on spirituality, on relationships. Out of the rubble, she built a life for herself that any recovering woman would be proud of: a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, her own brand of hard-won wisdom.

Fulfilling a pact they made a decade prior, Delia tears herself away from her new life in Seattle and rushes home to Los Angeles, to Timothy’s bedside, facing the one thing she fears her sobriety cannot survive–losing him. Back in LA, Delia begins to encounter familiar people, places, and temptations…a barrage of memories that makes her stop and sort through her past, looking for the courage she knows she needs now more than ever. As her past catches up with her present, she sees that she has not merely survived her losses and mistakes, but has been made stronger because of them. This understanding comes to her in full as she holds a piece of beachglass in her hand and realizes that it is its scuffs and scrapes that give it its quiet splendor, its imperfections that give it its beauty and individuality, and that it is from being tossed and tumbled that it no longer shatters–and she knows the same goes for her too. Set against a backdrop of West Hollywood in the late 1980s, populated by a drag queen and a stripper, beautiful boys and artists, and told by a narrator with equal doses of self-deprecating humor, old-soul awareness, fallibility, and brutalhonesty, Beachglass is a gritty and uplifting story of recovery, a journey that presents a fresh look into the world of AA and offers a convincing rendering of the constant struggle to go into recovery and stay there–no matter what.
