Transvestite or transsexual? / Travesti ou trans?

Know the difference between transvestite and transsexual

A lot of people think that transsexuals and transvestites are the same thing. They might even look like it. But there is something that sets them apart.

The transsexual was born male, but does not feel like one. He adopts clothes of the opposite sex, takes hormones, and eventually decides on sex reassignment surgery.

The transvestite, even though she has the same desire to look like the opposite sex and invests in female clothes and hormones, keeps the male genital organ. Transvestites are men who know how to be men, but who present themselves socially as women.

In our culture, transvestites have always been seen on the streets and understood as prostitutes who wear extravagant and sensual women's clothing to attract customers. Thus, they are perceived in a negative way.

Understanding

Understanding this differentiation is still complicated. Even families who live with a transgender person have great difficulty understanding and changing to adapt to this unanticipated identity.

Other people have less need to adapt, although they also have to deal with emotional withdrawal. These behaviors make everyone suffer.

Our culture still has a long way to go to facilitate alternative expressions of gender.

Saiba qual é a diferença entre travesti e transexual

Muita gente pensa que transexuais e travestis são a mesma coisa. Até podem parecer. Mas existe algo que os diferencia.

O transexual nasceu homem, mas não se sente como tal. Adota roupas do sexo oposto, faz uso de hormônios e, eventualmente, se decide pela cirurgia de mudança de sexo.

A travesti, ainda que tenha o mesmo desejo de parecer com o sexo oposto e invista em roupas e hormônios femininos, mantém o órgão genital masculino. Travestis são homens que sabem ser homens, mas que se apresentam socialmente como mulheres.

Em nossa cultura, as travestis sempre foram vistas nas ruas e compreendidas como prostitutos que usam roupas femininas extravagantes e sensuais para atrair clientes. Assim, são percebidas de modo negativo.

Compreensão

Entender essa diferenciação ainda é complicado. Mesmo as famílias que vivem com uma pessoa transexual têm grande dificuldade em compreender e mudar para adaptar-se a esta identidade não prevista.

Outras pessoas têm menos necessidades de se adaptar, embora também tenham de lidar com o afastamento afetivo. Estes comportamentos fazem todos sofrerem.

Nossa cultura ainda tem muito a caminhar para facilitar as expressões alternativas de gênero.

Yo conozco casos, por ejemplo el caso de una transexual amiga mía que no se operó... Por dos motivos su pollón era lo que la servía para "atraer a los clientes" y porque tiene una polla tan bonita que muchos hombres quieren ser follados por esa "maravilla".

I agree with what you say here. I wonder if there is a difference between the words "transgender" and "transsexual". I had the privilege of being in a relationship back in the 1970's with the first known post-operative transsexual person in my community. I have fond memories of that time and often wonder how Pamela is doing now. She was one of the best and most willing lovers I have ever had. The word "transgender" was not used at that time and "transsexual" was barely known but we had great time together in and out of bed nonetheless. Thank you for this article and for your presence here. I hope we get to know each other.
