S Questions about shemale?
what the hospital write in birth certificate for a shemale? how can they determine that and when at what age? how can they enroll in universities (they look like females but are not)

Answer 1

Okay, what the others wrote is correct: the word "shemale" is used in the porn industry and most transsexuals, myself included, find that term very insulting.

I also have an intersex condition called Kleinfelder's syndrome. I have an extra X chromosome, so XXY instead of XY. The important thing to remember is that everyone deserves to have their own gender identity separate from their birth sex.

Universities don't care if you are male or female or if you look like one or the other, they just want your cash. *wink*

Answer 2

There are many issues with your question! First, "shemale" is rather offensive, and typically used in porn and in slurs.
Are you talking about transsexuals or intersex people (intersex used to be refer to as hermaphrodite)? A transsexual is someone who is born with "typical" genitals of one sex or another and then later "becomes" the other sex through hormones and surgery. However, not all trans people have the full surgery or even want the full surgery (they are called transgender). As far as age - some transsexuals/transgenders know from as early as 1.5 years and others don't know exactly (don't have a name) what they feel until much older in life.

For intersex babies, doctors used to perform "corrective" surgery without the consent of the parents because it would be too "upsetting" to discuss. Now, they can't do that for legal reasons. Also, many times, an intersex baby would be made into a girl because it is "easy" especially compared to making the genitals resemble a boy. This has caused tons of problems since some "girls" were more genetically "boys" and were forced to live as "girls." Now, it is up to the parents on whether or not to have surgery - usually decided after genetic testing is done. For those intersex babies without surgery, an "I" is put on the birth certificate.

As for university enrollment - uh, anyone can enroll in a university. It doesn't matter what's in your pants. If you are concerned about dorm living, that all depends on the policy of the university. I went to school with a female-to-male who lived on the male floor of his dorm.

Answer 3

When a hermaphrodite is born, they usually do what they can to make it one sex or the other. Most of the time, it's easier to turn them into females. So, they'll put "female" as the sex on the birth certificate, but then add a notation in the medical section that states the child was born a hermaphrodite. However, most birth certificates will not include this medical information unless it is specifically requested when you're ordering it.

Answer 4

True sex is determined by the chromosomes.
Males have XY and are heterogametic and females XX and homogametic.

Some people are born with a birth defect of different number and type of chromosomes than XX or XY, therefor they are neither male or female and generally can't reproduce. The presence of the Y chromosome indicates whether a person is male.

Answer 5

If the baby has both a penis and a vagina, the parent should talk to the doctor about gender assignment surgery options so that the child can be one sex or the other. After that , the child can be named, and sex can be recorded on the birth certificate. It doesnt matter if the child is male or female, they can both go to universaties, or anywhere else they wish to.

Answer 6

I beleive all shemales are given the status of "female" on their birth certificate. I think the doctors think it is easier for shemale.
