For starters I would like a better/non-offensive term to describe a Trans Woman who chooses not to undergo genital reassignment surgery. Shemale so far is the only term I can find that describes such a person but a lot of people are saying that it's an offensive term which confuses me.
I thought it was a category within the Transgender community, like MTF, FTM, crossdresser etc. I thought Shemales were individuals who simply didn't identify with either male or female gender roles and were more in the middle, which is why they choose not to become completely one or the other. Is that not the case? I mean people don't just become a Trans woman with male genitals solely to get into the porn industry or because they can't afford it right?
