I think it's fine either way, I'm just curious Genetically your chromosomes will always point to the sex you were born as. Now, due to hormonal imbalances, your brain may end up finding attractive people from your same sex. This isn't true. Transgendered people can be gay also (M2F transgendered who likes women or F2M transgendered who likes men). Sexuality and gender identification and physical gender are all distinct things. edit: And since we shouldn't even be talking about this: Yes we should. We should not silence discussion of transgender issues because it makes some ignorant people uncomfortable. I think his point is, we shouldn't be talking about it here, this is a fan club, not an "educate the ignorant" thread.
The ignorant are going to have their say whether we do or not, so see can either educate them or let them remain ignorant. Yes, she is good at Starcraft 2, and because of that, some bigots are going to become not bigots, and others will remain bigots, but will hopefully be banned from posting. All of those things are good.

All transsexuals are transgender. Not all transgender people are transsexual. A transgender person has a mismatch between their gender, which is mostly mental, and their sex, which is mostly related to genital configuration. As a transgender woman, or trans woman, Scarlett was assigned male at birth, but her gender is female. Transexuals are transgender people who take social and/or medical steps to transition their sex to match their gender. This can be as simple as changing dress and mannerisms, or more involved and requiring medical intervention including Hormone Replacement Therapy (which does a lot more than you probably think), or surgical intervention. As for what she has in her pants right now... that is none of your fucking business. Don't ask her. It is incredibly rude. Calm down there, killer. teknotrance asked what I perceived as a very innocent question, and you're in no position to chastise someone for sincerely wanting to learn about a topic that many people are fairly confused about or simply uneducated about - I'll give you that it maybe wasn't the most tactful phrasing, but telling him to mind his own fucking business, and that he is incredibly rude is out of line and hypocritical. You're right about the definitions, though (I could make a weak case that not all transsexuals are transgendered, but it's irrelevant.). Simply - "Transgender" means you only identify as the opposite gender that you were assigned at birth, and "Transsexuals" have taken steps to physically/aesthetically change their sex from what they had at birth. Given the facts that Scarlett has freely offered in the OP, she has already answered his question, so again, it is not "incredibly rude" in this case.
She has not disclosed her op-status, and inquiring about it IS rude. And people are going to do it anyway, because they are willfully ignorant of the topic.

Ignorance does not = Bigot.
Ignorance literally means someone doesn't know something.
The OP from Scarlett mentions the being transgendered literally means she was born with a female brain. It was my undersatanding, and clearly the understanding of other people that this is not technically a true statement.
I was wondering if there was actual science backing it up, after looking it up a bit after it seems there isn't. From what I'm reading, it seems that some of the wiring of the brain is different, but that its not as simple as just being a 'female brain' it seems that MtF people generally do have mostly 'male' brains, but that they differ in areas that would determine perception of gender.
It doesn't mean someone is biased against it, or doesn't accept it or is any less of a fan or whatever. I think the best way to really accept things is to understand them, in reality, not just using placations or PC stuff to sugar coat them.
