Trondheim Transsexual
Trondheim Transsexual contains some aspects
of transgender and transsexuality. The reason that I created this page
was that recently i came across a website that talked about some
untruthful statements about transsexualism in Norway. Let's find out a
short definition about transsexualism and why some people have a
tendense to be transsexual,then move to talk about transsexual
individuals in Trondheim.
Transsexualism is defined as a person who
changes their gender from a man to a woman or vise versa. A medical
diagnosis can be made if a person experiences discomfort and as a
result wants to be a member of the opposite sex,or if a person
experiences distress as a result of that gender identification
According to the medical facts transsexualism
is categorized as:
Transsexual
(Nonsurgical)
True Transsexual (moderate
intensity)
True Transsexual (high
intensity)
Many transsexuals believe
that they need to do a surgery in order to change their gender.
In Norwegian transsexuals are called:
transvist(bokmol), transe(in Trondesk: Language of Trondheimian)
The
transsexual community use the short form "trans",TS, trans guy, trans
dyke, T-folk, trans folk Some may even use terms that have become
controversial to some, such as tranny and/or trans, despite others
considering these terms to be offensive.
The cause of transsexualism has its roots in
biology.
Transsexual
aid in Norway:
The National
organization for the diagnosis transsexualism (LFTS) has 120 members
and handles job for equality both for transsexuals and their families:
children and parents. LFTS is a small but extremely vulnerable group.
Many of transsexuals in Trondheim deal with
doubts, psychological problems and anxiety because of how they are
treated in society. That's why we should try to understand them as who
they are and what they stand for. We cannot possibly accuse them and
outcast them for being transgendres and transsexuals!
For instance:" the Norwegian, a 63-year-old
crime fiction writer, applied to state officials in charge of enforcing
sexual equality and anti-discrimination measures. The writer's current
passport only shows him as a man, which isn't always how he appears as
he undergoes treatment.
Both the Ministry of Justice and the state
police agency, which issues passports in Norway, contended, though,
that current regulations don't allow issuance of two passports to the
same person.
"A basic assumption in the issuance of a
passport is that it shall apply to one identity, and that this shall be
simple to control," Magnar Aukrust of the justice ministry told
Aftenposten.no.
The 63-year-old, however, claims it's a
"practical problem... which has meant that I have decided against
making some trips."
A letter from
Norway’s National Hospital that confirms the Norwegian is under
treatment for transsexuality has made it easier for him to travel in
Europe. He hesitates, though, to travel outside Europe"( source:
