Hey, I got that diagnosis as well! Do you mind talking about the characteristics that led to the diagnosis?

There is no option for "The voices tell me to select this option".

I'm officially FtM-Transgender with name change and operation.

This sign-up option is clearly meant for the user to indicate sex (as that is what male and female are, sexes). The only meaningful option besides male and female would be intersexed. Transgendered is not a sex.

LEGALY I'm male now and even the government has to accept that.
I don't think WP is an ecception there...!
And also had my surgery and my female parts of the body removed, so my body now looks like a male one, even in the swimming pool I shower in the male showers, because of my male appearence. I'm also on male hormones since more than two years now.
I just would find it nice to have that option: "Transgender".

And actually the options on WP say "Gender". :wink:

This entire paragraph:

Is at odds (or, at best, totally unconnected) with this statement:

You made a long statement about being male (which is an available option), then end it with a wish for a transgender option. I don't get the connection between these two things/why you put them in the same comment.

Sex is one of the meanings of the word "gender."

Personally, I wouldn't been the option "Crazy b***h". Meh, no idea if I'm NT or AS, just some weird Bipolar moodswings...

I only ever seem to post in this part of the forum.
