Streamate categories question - Transexual vs Transgender?
Hi! I'm a trans girl who's been streaming on Chaturbate, and then SM for a little over a year now.
So on SM, I've always noticed there's two categories for trans girls, Transsexual and Transgender. (Interestingly, Transsexual becomes Shemales in the address bar, and Transgender becomes Trannys. )
Which is which? is there an actual difference? If so, what? If not, why doesn't SM just merge them?
I have solo'd and coupled cam'd solely in the Transgender/Trannys category, and am wondering if I should try putting myself the Transsexual/Shemales category, if it's any different or better.
Thanks for the help!
Re: Streamate categories question - Transexual vs Transgender?
I honestly don't know the difference between the two categories on SM! I haven't seen a distinction. First I thought it might have been that the Transgender section was for people that haven't had surgical alterations and the Transsexual/Shemales section was for people that DID get surgery or start hormones, but..I was in the Transsexual section on SM when I was there and I haven't had any surgeries yet. So that kind of goes against what I was assuming.
Socially speaking, for the most part Transgender and Transsexual are pretty much synonymous. I know people make distinctions between the two but in the majority they're pretty much interchangeable. Most people use Trans as a catch-all.
I think if SM is going to have two different sections for trans people, it should be for trans men vs trans women?

I whole-heartedly agree. And the trans men one should be under the men's main category, just like how the trans women categories are under the women's main category.

That's a good question but I really don't know. I signed up with SM a few years back and they automatically put me under Transgender. What really annoys me is when people use the word 'Transgendered'. So your mother was femaled? LMAO!
