"TS/TV/She-male clarification"
Can someone clarify the definitions of She-male, TV, TS.

It appears that a She-male is a guy who want to have the femine
look but still carry a dick. The male usually get implants and
other changes made to appear like a woman but still desires to
carry some characteristics of a man but dresses like a woman.

How is a TV or She-male different?

A TS wants to be woman in every way, Hormone shots, implants.
Pre-op means that she still retains a dick, but maybe not really
functional because of mindset or hormonse shots. Post-op
I would assume means that the genitals have been changed to mimic
a woman.

I'm new to this area so if I messed something up please correct me.

1. "RE: TS/TV/She-male clarification"
TV refers to crossdressers; they generally will identify as "a guy in women's clothes" and not "a woman trapped in a guy's body"

TS is short for transsexual, and in general means that they identify as more female than male. "Pre-op" means that they have not yet had their male bits removed. "Post-op" means they have.

"Shemale" generally refers to a pre-op TS, but can also refer to TV. Also, not all TS "ladies" necessarily want to be 100% female; some may well actually prefer being "in between" and degrees of functionality, amount of use of hormones, etc varies greatly.
