This is a guide to tg personals and all relevant terminology. I own a free personals site and am entirely knowledgeable on the subject of transgender personals. Unlike most niches of personals and dating, like gay personals for instance, the one that caters to transgender individuals is often misunderstood. It is important to understand this form of personals in order to get the best results.
A transgender person is someone who chooses not to conform to common ideas of gender, but combines genders or swaps them. We are all assigned a gender at birth: male or female. A transgender person will feel their gender either fails to describe them adequately or is entirely the wrong type of gender. A common occurrence is when a person with male genitalia feels they are female inside.
Transgender identity is made up of many categories of individual. A tg personals site will give you the option to browse or search for many varieties of transgender people. So we should cover the meanings of various terms which can be quite confusing for newcomers.
A transsexual is a person who has changed their gender from the one given to them at birth. So a male to female transgender or transsexual is a man who has transformed himself into a women. The opposite is the female to male transsexual or transgender.
A cross-dresser is a man or a woman who wears clothing in a fashion that would be stereotypical of the opposite of their own gender. So a cross-dressing man will dress like a woman and vice versa. Another name for a cross-dresser (or cd) is transvestite; however, cross-dressers do prefer the term cross-dresser over transvestite.
An androgyne person is an individual whose assigned gender or emotional identity is neither male or female The androgyne can be genderless, have both genders, be in a process of swapping genders, or contain elements of both genders.
Transgender does not refer to chosen sexuality so in all of the cases above you may assume individuals are either gay, straight or bi-sexual.
You will find that tg personals is quite an uncommon variety of personals site. However, if you search around, you will find some good free sites allowing you to meet transgender people. The above terminology will help you understand the different classes of transgender individual which, as mentioned, is often confusing since so many terms are very much alike.
You should keep in mind that transgender people can be gay, straight or bi-sexual and therefore, when searching on these personals sites, remember to choose an option for sexuality.
A final tip for you is to be polite and understanding with people you meet on transgender personal or dating sites. Such people face much persecution and, therefore, respond very well to kindness, understanding and compassion.
