Hi Erin, I'm another newcomer.

You are spot on with the female brain statement - it is the most important sex organ but for those of us with 'issues' about our bodies we sometimes forget this, so thanks for the reminder.

I don't especially like the word transsexual either but neither do I like (or even understand) the term transgendered. I'm not too keen on the label intersex but prefer it to the newer 'DSD' but ultimately we have to be described in some way, at least for medical purposes. Beyond that I'm a still-quite-young woman who happens to have PAIS and happens to be the female side of the line but isn't (won't be?) defined by it. I don't have any problems getting in touch with my masculine side when I can find it so it's likely that most transsexual/transgendered folk feel more feminine than I do so, if that's your background, relax, I won't pick a fight with you either. :wink:
