Transsexuals in Trondheim
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: Aftenposten's reporter
