I know what attracts me about other people, and by analogy I can also imagine (somewhat) how gay people feel. I find it harder to imagine why I'd rather have a vagina and boobs than a penis. Seems fair to ask people who feel like that if they can express it somehow.
And if it is more, for example wanting to dress like a woman, there has to be some kind of reason? You can't claim that female behavior (let's say wearing pink high heel boots and mini skirts as an extreme example) is merely a cultural construct but at the same time claim it does not have a reason.
I don't know if the transgender thing is just about wanting different sexual appendices or also about living the gender stereotypes.
- quinnchr 13y agoYes you know what attracts you, but do you know why those things are attractive to you? I am by know mean speaking for transgendered people and if you want the best answer you should ask them. As far as I am aware it is mostly about identifying with a different gender role and for some (definitely not all) that includes having the sexual characteristics associated with that gender role. There are plenty of transgendered people who identify as the opposite gender but are completely comfortable with their own physical sexual characteristics.
