The other poster mad a few incorrect statements. FIrst, a crossdresser has very little interest if becoming a member of the opposite sex.Those medical are reserved for true transsexuals. A true transsexual know at a very early age in life that something is most definitely wrong with their mind/physical body combination but is still to young to identify exactly what that problem is. TS's have this condition their entire lives. While some may eventually get SRS, many do not.
A crossdersser 'dresses' in woman's clothing basically for kicks. You see, part of a transsexual's problem in life is the he/she was born with the wrong genitals. TS's normally despise those genitals, and want to get rid of them at an early age. Why? To make themselves in line with the person they are inside of themselves. A crossdresser, on the other hand, often finds sexual gratification from 'dressing en femme,' as they term it. They get off by wearing clothing of the opposite sex. It's a turn on for them. Now, think about this. A transsexual has no sexual desire because he or she is disgusted with their genitals, and usually desire to have them removed as quickly as possible.Now, If a crossdresser were to lose that part of him which gives him all this sexual gratification, then what is the purpose of that? In short: Crossdressers do not get SRS because they are not eligible for it according to the Standards of Care. The SOC is a compilation of documents which almost all sex therapists in the world follow to a T. It is a guide which contains certain, specific criteria which a TS must undergo for various lengths of time before they would be considered for SRS. The absolute minimum is one year of living, working, dressing as a woman (man for FTM TS's), maintaining a social life and friends, and more. In short, they must be able to prove that they are quite capable of blending into society with a bare minimum of problems. These people who accomplish this are the best candidates, and are often referred for surgery. Not all make it this far. Look at it as sort of a screening process. Only the best will survive. The SOC contains criteria which the gender therapist follows in order to screen all candidates, and in the process - will weed out the ones who are not likely to succeed for whatever resaon. Crossdressers are automatically weeded out. Thus, no SRS for crossdressers.
TS's do no wake up on morning when they are, say, 25 years old and think to themselves "Gee, I'd really like to be a woman." No, this has been plauging them for their entire life. The scenerio I just described it more fitting of a crossdresser. But as I said, if they went as far as seeking therapy, they would get help with their crossdressing, and nothing more. No hormone therapy, and certainly no SRS. They don't want it, and they sure don't need it.
Well, enough on that. Got to go to bed now...
I hope this helps, even a little... |
