Whether you are watching a Hollywood movie or your favorite sitcom, it is easy to see that the depiction of transgender characters is not always accurate. As a society, we tend to lump all transgender individuals into one category – the cross-dressing TV transvestite. However, there is a big difference between TV transvestites and transsexuals. In this post, we will explore the difference between these two groups and discuss why it is important to get it right.
Who is TV?
TV transvestites are people who dress up as members of the opposite sex for entertainment purposes. They are often seen on TV shows or movies, where they may play a variety of roles. TV transvestites usually have a high level of skill in makeup and costuming, and they may also be talented dancers or actors. While TV transvestites are often associated with comedy, they can also be found in serious dramas or musicals. TV transvestites are not the same as transgender people, who dress as members of the opposite sex for personal reasons. TV transvestites typically dress as members of the opposite sex for entertainment purposes only.
Who is TS?
TS is an abbreviation for transsexual. A person who TS may feel that they were born in the wrong body and will take steps to transition to the opposite gender. This may involve hormone therapy and surgery. TS is different from gay, lesbian, or bisexual because those individuals identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. TS individuals may identify as male or female, but they do not feel that this accurately reflects their true identity. TS is not a mental disorder, and there is no “cure.” TS is a valid and important part of our society. TS individuals should be respected and treated with dignity.
Difference between TV and TS
TV transvestites are men who dress up as women for the purposes of entertainment or sexual gratification. They typically do not identify as women and do not want to permanently change their gender. TS transsexuals, on the other hand, are individuals who feel that they were born in the wrong body and take steps to transition to their true gender. This may involve hormone therapy, sex reassignment surgery, and living full-time as their preferred gender. While TV transvestites and TS transsexuals both dress in clothes typically associated with the opposite gender, they have different motivations and goals.
Conclusion
Though transsexuals are often confused with transvestites, the two groups are actually quite different. Transsexuals feel that they were born in the wrong body and often undergo surgery to change their sex, while transvestites simply enjoy dressing up in clothes of the opposite gender for fun. If you’re not sure which group someone falls into, it’s best to use the term “transgender” as an umbrella term that includes both transsexuals and transvestites. Thanks for reading!
