A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Lots of transpersons never have surgery and yet live as their chosen gender. That doesn't make their gender identity fluid. There are lots and lots of reasons that transpeople don't have surgery -- money, the fact that it's not All That, the fact that they don't want to -- but it doesn't make them NOT their chosen gender.
Most trans men don't have bottom surgery, f'r ex.
Bio man who dresses and identifies female. Charlie hasn't had surgical reassignment, nor do I know if she wants to.
Huh. I thought she had boobs. Maybe I imagined them. My mistake.

"Reassignment" is generally the bottom half. Lots of trans women get boob implants but don't have genital reassignment. For one thing, boob implants are commonplace and therefore "easy." Genital reassignment -- NSM with the "easy." And very, very expensive.
Ah, okay. Thanks.
We have a good friend (a trans woman) who is having surgery in Thailand later this year, and she has to be in the hospital for 2 months. I can't even imagine it. (But then, obviously, the fact that I can't imagine it is because I'm cisgender to the core.)
Anyway, she has boob implants, and has for a while. The biggie comes later. And good god damn, it is expensive.

Yeah, me too. I find it hard to wrap my head around it all.
What is cisgender? Zero on the Kinsey scale? I have no trouble with being a woman physically, but I sometimes wonder if my brain is more male than female.
If i understandit right, cisgender means you don't feel that you are not the gender you were born as.
cis= gender identity matches biological sex.
What is cisgender?
From chemistry, I think -- "trans" means "opposite" and "cis" means same side. I think in chemistry it's used for molecular structures.
Zero on the Kinsey scale?
Kinsey scale is the hetero-bi-homosexual continuum, which is separate from gender.
