The discussions have been facsinating - also the comparisons with
Deaf/hearing debates have made me think ( I am Deaf...or is that deaf???).
A question from me first - what is the diference between transgender and
transexual?
I am trying to put one thought into words but finding it hard. With the
transexual issue....I have not seen mention of the unique power-shift (as in
societial power). Where it is male-to- female transexual... the person loses
the societal power of being a male in the world. But this seems unique to
that expereince....that is a non-disabled person will not usually "choose"
to become a disabled person of a hearing person "choose" to become a deaf
person (this is a simplistic way of putting it..I hope it is understood what
I mean?)
