If she has done her opperation in her early age, how can you tell?
They look so women, talk so women, you can't tell.

Laloo, let me enlighten you a little.

Definitions:
Transsexual - someone who identifies as the gender opposite to their born sexual phenotype.
Real - that which is objectifiable independent of personal bias and persistent within the material world we inhabit.
Women - plural of woman, the female of the species homo sapiens.

Now lets try a sociological exercise, how do you classify the people you meet? Do you meet them on a genetic level, thereby identifying them as XX, XY or something else regardless of their body; or as their phenotype regardless of their karyotype?

Certainly biological elements of the transsexual are unchangeable, but is that contrary to defining them as women, because they certainly ARE for real my dear!

No, of course not. Otherwise androgen insensitivity syndrome suffers would all be forced to live gender roles inappropriate to them (ie XY karyotypes whose insensitivity to androgens has led them to develop a female phenotye).

Indeed, if you classify a person on their original anatomical construction, how can you be confident they don't have an anatomically hardwired female brain? There is certainly neuroanatomical evidence that transsexuals have characteristics of the brain of their identified rather than their birth sex. Are they so different to the androgen insensitivity sufferers then?

And is your definition dependent on reproductive function?
In that case, would all infertilfe females (which includes an awful lot of the population when those who are postmenopausal are counted) constitute "not-real" women?

Your answer should be, you do not classify transsexuals (male-to-females to be more specific about the group you are describing) as any different from real females. They are people, they are WOMEN; they feel and they hurt and by god do they hurt for the cruelty of biology of their birth and societal prejudice that results from that.

Do not judge that which you clearly do not understand. Respect is the only, universal rule for all social interaction. respect the people you meet, learn to like them as people and as individuals, not as demographic cohorts. Treat them like people and who knows, maybe you will come to appreciate them. If you never know, then what difference is there? If you're willing to have a relationship with an infertile woman, how does that differ to a relationship with a completely passable transsexual?

Grow up, realise this is not about the history of someone's birth biology, they are no more accountable for that than someone with downs is for having trisomy 21, or a cancer patient for having neoplastic mutation allowing unwelcome and uncontrolled proliferation of cells. each wants to be normal, each wants their right to a life, each deserves respect, especially where there are modern treatment modalities that may in effect "cure" them. Indeed, the nearest a transsexual can get to being cured is to transition completely, biologically and socially. To be comfortable in who they are.

Respect people, do not pigeon hole them.

If she or he passes perfectly, you'll find out if they are transsexual if the person feels you have a need to know, such as when they are asked for a date, most will let you know before getting deeply involved they've had a sex change.

Look at their hands, feet, they have no period each month. And they try harder at being a women than the real deal!

Look at the neck for the Adam's apple. Or look for the scar where the Adam's apple used to be.
