<< review queue entry 63490 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> transgender --> transsexual "Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender According to usage and dictionaries, 变性 is more like "transsexual" than "transgender". That is, 变性 is closely associated with transitioning to another sex with medical assistance. e.g. 在國內具有「變性人之父」稱譽、 [Fang Rong-hwang, director of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital,] > is known as the "father of Taiwanese transsexuals." 變性慾者與同性戀者經常被劃上等號，事實上他們是不同的族群。[...] Transsexuals are often regarded as homosexuals, but in fact transsexuality and homosexuality are two different conditions. [Transsexuals, unlike homosexuals, cannot identify with their assigned gender. They are disgusted by their sexual organs and wish to change their bodies through surgery to match their minds.] |
