Trans - what IS that, really?

Why is it that if someone says they are 'trans' and claims I should respect that, they don't tell me what they actually mean? Is a trans woman a woman 'transed' to seem like a man or is it a man who seems like a woman? Are they men/women with anomalous or surgically altered genitals; are they psychologically deranged guys/gals who simply think they aren't, or are they just people playing silly buggers? If they can't be explicit about their condition why don't they STFU about it?

Dude it depends on the person. Idk i feel you should just be straight up honest if your curious. And if thet say leave it be, leave it be. And use the pronouns they ask for. To me if someone looks like a he or she say he or she. If you are corrected by that person then correct ur language. Not that difficult.

@pride49 There's no one I know or have contact with, that has problems with the pronouns I use.

I associate the word 'pride' with pleasure in one's accomplishments; things well done: Pride49, What is it you're so proud of?

And PLEASE, don't call me "Dude".
