TS: It is the abbreviation of English transsexual, which means gender identity disorder, regardless of gender.

CD: It's short for crossdresser, which means transvestite. Usually understood as cross dressing.

With the development of society, the recognition of these people is much higher than in the past, and life is not easy. Please give them more respect.

Comparison between TS and CD:

TS is dissatisfied with the original gender and hopes to solve it through surgery.

CD likes the dress and behavior of the opposite sex, and may not have surgery.

Similarity: Everyone is eager to put on women's clothes and become a woman.

Difference: cd only becomes a woman on the surface, while ts is a woman on the surface, including physical transformation.

First of all, TS is a narrow definition, which is out of date now. In the past, gender inconsistency was called "transgender", and TS was a transsexual person, that is, an individual who underwent plastic surgery for sexual organs, or at least looked very close to the original gender.

However, this statement is unscientific and imprecise. Because with the deepening of human understanding, it is gradually found that the definition of gender duality is wrong, that is, men and women are essentially the same, and there is no complete man or woman. The gender in nature is just a vague and fluid concept.

Since our essential gender concept is wrong and narrow, the word "transgender" is unscientific and imprecise. In fact, as early as when I came into contact with this word, I felt it was inaccurate. This year, the World Health Organization used "gender inconsistency" to refer to transgender people, whether it is surgical hormones or appearance.

Gender inconsistency is an objective concept, not a subjective function of psychology, so it cannot be classified into the category of mental health, but a natural part of gender reproduction. In other words, some people's original sex does not match their genitals, or they have two sexes, or they have no sex. As for CD referring to transvestite, gender inconsistency should be completely ruled out.
