Youngest ever transsexual was 12

10-10-2010 12:11am#1Link From the folks that posted that youngest ever mother story (yeah, I don't know why I went back either.
), they present the youngest ever transsexual - Kim Petras. And if I say so myself, she ain't bad looking at all. I mean he...err...she. I'm not gay by the way. :cool:
Kim Petras was born on 27 August 1992 as Tim Petras. Her parents, Lutz and Konni, have said that from the age of two, she began insisting she was a girl. It slowly became apparent this was "not just a phase"0

No, it's natural to refer to a young woman as she and her.
calling someone an "it" is just horrible, it means you think of them as a "thing" instead of a human being.
Depends on the uh... "person"

I don't want another debate
I'm saying that it's very offensive to call someone an "it" so just please don't do it.
I'll leave it at that for now, but here's something else you might find interesting:

That's a very good question, but it's pretty complicated
Like when you say physical differences, you probably mean things like psychical sex characteristics like genitalia and secondary characteristics such as breasts, and the many other physical differences that exist between men and women that we can see. But there are physical differences in the brain also and I think that's what makes us male or female because how our brains work is how we think and feel, how we experience both ourselves and the rest of the world.
that's why "youngest ever transsexual" makes no sense because we are born this way!
there has been loads of medical evidence supporting the idea of a "female brain in a 'male' body", and on the other threads about transsexuality people have been linking loads of different links to show this. I don't really understand some of it, but here's a little compilation of the evidence:
Transsexual gene link identified
Male-to-Female Transsexuals Have Female Neuron Numbers in a Limbic Nucleus
Male-to-Female Transsexuals Show Sex-Atypical Hypothalamus Activation When Smelling Odorous Steroids
Regional Grey Matter Variation in Male-to-Female Transsexualism
A sex difference in the hypothalamic uncinate nucleus: relationship to gender identity.
White matter microstructure in female to male transsexuals before cross-sex hormonal treatment. A diffusion tensor imaging study.
A Sex Difference in the Human Brain and its Relation to Transsexuality
Gender Identity and phantom genitalia
Typical female 2nd–4th finger length (2D:4D) ratios in male-to-female transsexuals—possible implications for prenatal androgen exposure
Epic copy pasta!
and that's only some of it, there was another thing that I read that talked about something in the visual cortex in trans women that showed they are typically female in that too.
That last link is really interesting though, the one about the digit length. women generally have longer index fingers than their ring fingers, and male-to-female transsexuals generally have the same. so if you're a guy and your index finger is longer than your ring finger, you may be a transsexual!
but you get the idea. you can see that what makes us male or female in terms of our gender identity is our brains.
The other outward physical aspects can be changed though. much of how our body works is effected by sex hormones. with hormone replacement treatment, a male-to-female transsexual becomes typically female in body. that means loads of physical changes happen, body weight redistributes, breasts develop, skin becomes soft and feminine, as does body hair. essentially a male-to-female transsexual who has undergone medical transition becomes physically female in every capacity except reproductive. she will smell and feel female, her breasts would be no different to any other woman's, and she can even breastfeed.
I'm hoping that medical science can fix the reproductive thing in the near future too

Anyone who claims they didn't spend at least 10 seconds looking at their hand after reading this is lying0 -

well it's early days for me yet, I'll still be waiting quite a few months before I get prescribed hormones, so I don't know what psychological changes will happen then. but the psychological changes I've already experienced since I stopped fighting against being transgender have been very big. A year ago I would barely be able to leave the house, suffered constant anxiety attacks and I was pretty depressed. Now I've had no problems walking up Grafton street without triggering an anxiety attack, I haven't had one in months
I just feel so much better about myself, my health has improved, my self confidence and self esteem has really shot up, I'm much happier and I think things are only going to get better
none of that's really amusing though
I have developed a bit of an obsession for shoes, if that counts 0 -
Surprised no one else has called this what it is - 'crock of sh1te'
as was this post but din't want to use up internet space replicating this rubbish ...
Its like the whole gay thing - I was born this way - sh1te - and I am gay - there is no born this way - its a lifestyle choice that I am entitled to make and not feel ashamed and have to claim 'born this way - sorry folks'
lemme see, what do believe? heaps of evidence that shows that people are born this way, or someone who just says it's a lifestyle choice with no evidence? yah, think I'll believe the stuff that's got the medical evidence if that's ok.
I didn't choose to be this way. doesn't make me ashamed either.0 -
