Hi, @smashedturtle, thanks for pointing out a particular point. But I sorta stated your point already within the article. Transgenderism is an orientation and transsex is only a category within the broad topic of transgenderism. Realizing this, I explained that I was going to focus on those who underwent sex reassignment surgeries. I mean, that's one major part where science comes in.

Science is a very neat and well detailed discipline, so it's no surprise that they like to lay things out bare and clearly. In this line of thought, while it is easy to assume that a transgendered person is one who has made a complete transition from one gender to another, I must have us know that this is not the case. Transgenderism is merely a sexual orientation that encapsulates in one pill those who have a strong knack for culturally deviating from the gender role they originally belong to, and identifying with the other gender (the one they feel on the inside). In other words, it entails changing one's gender identity (behavioral traits) from male to female; female to male or identifying with both genders. One who is transgender might not necessarily change physical appearance or go through surgery at all. In fact, according to one physician that helps with those transitioning from one sex to another, only about 25 to 30 percent of transgenders go through surgery.

This was where I sorta laid it all out. Thanks anyway for the elucidation. I am grateful I was able to learn more via your correction.
