Are transsexuals considered this without any surgery? Pardon my ignorance. -[[User:DrSandstone|DrSandstone]] 17:52, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

:There are two converging issues here, that maybe should be separated. 1) The desire to look like and act as if you were the other sex (transvestites, cross dressers, etc) - these people do not want nor need surgery, and 2) the desire to BE a member of the other sex. Transsexuals who have not had surgery (pre-op) are still considered as persons with a disorder who want to be the other sex. but the term "sex change operation" is poorly applied here, since someone who has not had, or does not want an operation doesn't' fit into the "categories of people seeking the operation". --[[User:MHayes|MHayes]] 17:57, 27 August 2008 (EDT)
