I myself am transsexual, but I do not liv...@ Gayle,<br />I myself am transsexual, but I do not live in a reality in which the world is divided into "male" and "female" biology (I identify as neither and do not want to be a man or a woman, nor any conflation of masculinity or femininity). <br /><br />Rather, I take the perspective that diversity is more common to human biology than is any static form. By "syndromizing" transsexuality, I feel that one privileges cultural notions of "normal" over recognition of biological (and social) diversity of expression. I am a firm believer that normal bodies are a figment of the politically motivated imagination.<br /><br />While our ideologies are very different, I am glad to see that our aims are the same: to reduce human suffering. So, from my sincerest heart, thank you for your work.Amiko-Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594574032593039757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786517.post-6828292164836996822009-03-04T19:49:00.000-05:002009-03-04T19:49:00.000-05:00Furhan Ali and Muslim Transman,I am doing a univer...Furhan Ali and Muslim Transman,<BR/><BR/>I am doing a university research paper about homosexuality and transsexuality in Islam.

I am founder of the Harry Benjamin Syndrome Association of Australia and Oceania. (See the Google Group)<BR/><BR/><BR/>It must be understood the condition is a biological mismatch bewtween brain sex and morphological (body appearance) sex that occurs before birth and affects the structure and function of the brain. It can only be treated by medical means and, most importantly, it has nothing to do with sexuality. Therefore, it has nothing to do with transgender conditions such as homosexuality, transvestism, drag queens, she-males, etc.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Gayle Richardes-Potter<BR/>Perth, western AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
