@ Shirazmn: I went to my therapist not knowing a thing, other than my basic and standard idea of what Transgender and Transexual meant...
The Therapist put it this way.... A true CD, does NOT want to transform his/her body, but gets sexual or feelings of intimacy by dressing as the opposite sex. Yes, there are cis females that drag it up sa well. This is considered a fetish!
Whereas a male or female who tries to diminish or changes one's perceived gender by any type of permanent ways, be it surgery, binding or hormonal treatment, is 90% of the time classed as a Transgendered Person. The Transgender who truly wants SRS is either a pre surgical Transexual or Post surgical Transexual. That's not my definition, but the definition as described by modern psychiatrist as well as the more knowledgable doctors.
But you are correct in one regard... There are many points of view from Female to Male. Hence the term of Rainbow Spectrum of Gender.
