Mexican Woman No Trans A Woman Any

By: Kim Perez

have always been so beautiful or trans women who have been able to pass unnoticed among other women.

is now eighteen girls who make the transition and preserve the clean speech, cheek intact and the overall look of a child.

for each other is the dilemma of living like any other women or accept reality as trans.

For those who are like me, big, or deep voice, or balding, this dilemma is presented, and although it may feel regret for not having lived at least say that I see things clearly.

The point is that a transformation may be a woman, but a transgender woman and in no way a woman like any other, which can be bad for some purposes and good to others, but it is reality.

To understand this, we must have the courage to distinguish between the visible and the invisible visible is the personal presence, perfect, a lot of problems out of the way it simply is true.

But the invisible, it is also true: a personal history that can not be denied, a family that knows and with which we must continue to count, a physical reality that makes us sterile so we must consider our future also counting on it (for example, we may disappoint a man who wanted children of their own)

For all these things can mourn - why I can not be a woman like any other? - , but weeping not fix things. You have to look at them face to face.

Put yourself in the case of a girl operated and indistinguishable from any woman (beautiful or ugly, it does not come to mind)

She decides to become a woman like any other. Immediately, and oddly enough, have to hide in the closet, because you have to hide all of trans origin.

can be when going out, always afraid that someone can recognize it and put it into evidence. Or that, having an affair, his partner, who certainly would have told him no, you can discover at any time and considered deluded.

Suppose that after some time, I tell your partner if he had not known. Again the awful fear arises whether, to know, will continue or cease, also outraged by what I would consider a lie.

Instead, imagine the situation of women or simply very beautiful women that are trans and do not hide it (there are, thankfully)

Van calm down the street, of course, no one to mess with them and change might escape some admiring glance or a compliment (rude or not) All this is certainly comforting.

The same situation can occur in all media in which no person need be defined, starting from the supermarket or hairdresser.

But among friends, acquaintances, at work, at college, just let them know and do not mind saying or that new and newcomers become aware of those before.

what it takes? Simply, self-confidence.

If a man comes up to him then, is approaching because she likes. And those who do not approach him, you do not like. In that, more or about the same as any other woman.

Can a transsexual man attracts a primarily heterosexual? Yes it is, happens, happens, and sometimes creates love stories of surprising intensity and stability.

In such cases, the man you know, for example, will not have children with her partner, and does not care too much because he wants to be with her.

Other times it may be the curiosity that sends, but if morbid, does not last long, and if it lasts, it is not morbid.

The transformation of which is known to be trans (and this I know for a while) walking along the quiet and safe life. Those who want it, are with her, and those who did not want or are too cowards (and then it is she who must not love them) fall away.

visible Transsexualism is a great clarifier of human relationships. Most people do not know who wants it and who does not want it and hides, but we do.

security gives courage, and bravery, strength, and strength, generosity. Hardly a transsexual woman who wants to be accepted like any other date other transsexuals or those who need help because you know that I am transsexual!

shemale that we face (some because we have no choice and some because they want) are the ones who are in the transgender movement, sticking up for us and for all. We face even on television and that is a pride and joy, in the press, in Parliament, local councils, where required. And people like to see that we are brave and congratulate us.

But above all, we have the opportunity to do something for other trans, knowing what they feel, which is the same we feel. That is fine and happy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Male to Female (MTF)


Introduction Hormonal Replacement Therapy for transgender and transsexual people replaces the hormones that naturally exist in their bodies with those of the opposite sex. Its purpose is to cause secondary sexual development of gender decaracterísticas desired. You can not undo the changes produced by the first transgender lapersona natural puberty, this is achieved to some extent with sex reassignment surgery for transsexual women and using the hair if there is facial hair. Some intersex people also receive HRT, either in childhood to develop the genre in which they were assigned, or later if this assignment was incorrect.

Some people fight saying that hormone replacement therapy does not completely masculinized or feminized. Masculinization and feminization If one understands fully achieve the biological male or female, as it currently can not be achieved with any medical treatment or surgical. However, the purpose of HRT, and this is true of all somatic treatments, is to provide the patient with a body more congruent with their true identity genero.Cabe noted that the effects of hormone replacement therapy are generally more satisfactory in male transsexuals transsexual women. It is easier to produce male sexual characteristics androgen transsexual women who deliver and set of features.


formal requirements for HRT
The requirements for hormone replacement therapy vary widely, but generally a time of psychological consultation is required, and we recommend that way.

Some individuals choose to self medicate, often because available doctors do not have enough experience in these matters, or there is no doctor available to start. Transsexual people sometimes decide to self-medicate because the doctor did not prescribe hormones without a letter from a therapist stating that the patient meets the criteria of gender dysphoria. Many therapists require at least three months of continuous therapy and / or a test of life to write a letter of recommendation as suggested by the Standards of Care for Harry Benjamin (HBIGDA). In these circumstances, the individual often opt for self-medication to obtain authorizations, feeling that they should have to wait for a medical professional to be sure of his situation. Also, that medical care is usually expensive. However

:

SELF ADMINISTRATION OF HORMONES IS SOMETHING YOU CAN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS cripple or kill. PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT THOROUGHLY TO KNOW THE RISKS.

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Male to Female (MTF)

For transsexual women taking estrogens causes among other changes:

breast growth, including the nipples

redistribution of body fat and thin skin firmer
In MTF transsexual women, hormone replacement therapy also Antiandrogens typically includes separate estrogen and progesterone.

HRT does not prevent facial hair growth, for this subject you will need either electrolysis or laser. The voice does not change with the hormones, but you can learn to modulate it.

need an endocrinologist to have these tests before starting treatment: liver profile, hormonal profile, other tests are recommended as you will read later. Changes



usually after six? eight months of HRT (depending on your age) you will notice visible changes. Many transsexual women after this time they enter a stage called? Androgynous stage? is called this because for many people who never have seen you will not know to tell if you're a man or a woman (how visible is it depends on your genetics and age). Usually a year or year and a half have feminized hormones your face and body enough to? Happen?. A large majority begins to live as a woman full time at about this time. Irreversible Changes

:
Growth Growth breast nipples


reversible changes decreased libido and changes in sexual behavior
redistribution of body fat reduction
muscle
Psychological changes are difficult to define, since HRT is usually the first physical change in the transition. This factor alone has a significant psychological impact, which makes it difficult to distinguish changes induced by hormones. Many report feeling more confident. Contraindications



not start with hormonal replacement therapy if you have these precedents:

history of cancer predisposition by estrogen (eg breast cancer). Thrombosis

macroprolactinoma (tumor in the pituitary gland)
disease or liver damage
history of injury or disease of the heart or heart (or any of the risk factors heart damage caused high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking)
disease or kidney damage
If you have a family history of breast cancer, thrombosis, gallbladder disease
Types of Therapy: Estrogens

:

doses are usually higher than for women transexualesque take hormone replacement therapy for menopause.
formulations come in these forms: injections, pills, patches that are placed on the skin and implants that are placed under the skin.
As the dose becomes higher risks increase. It is for this reason that women with contraindications should begin with small doses and depending on what the doctor suggests raising or lowering the dose.
estrogen patches are recommended for women aged transsexuals and those who have problems with smoking and that estrogen in this presentation is less likely to cause thrombosis. However, the number of patches and the cost of these may not be practical.
Antiandrogens:

Antiandrogens are usually required only before sexual reassignment surgery or before orchidectomy (commonly known as castration).

The spirolactone is the most widely used antiandrogen in the United States because it is relatively less harmful to the body and is economical.
The spirolactone is a potassium-based diuretics is also used for hypertension, edema (swelling or inflammation), and low potassium levels caused by other diuretics. It can cause high potassium levels and should not be used by people with kidney problems or who already have high levels of potassium.
Another antiandrogen used is Androcur. This drug interferes with hormonaluteinizante causing the testes to stop producing testosterone. Normal testosterone production usually returns after three months of discontinuation of this drug. In the U.S. this drug is banned because it does not pass it FDA requirements (Food and Drug Administration) in other countries including Mexico is considered safe.
luteinizing hormone (LH) is a protein secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. In women, an increase inthe mid-cycle LH triggers ovulation and more or less over the next week, LH maintains the corpus luteum which synthesizes progesterone. The corpus luteum disintegrates after about ten days if no fertilization occurs. In men, LH stimulates testosterone production by Leydig cells of the testes.
normal values \u200b\u200b(in IU / L = international units per liter) are normal
Adult male: 7 to 24 IU / L
normal adult female: 5 to 20 IU / L, with a mid-cycle peak of plus or minus 3 times the base level


Side Effects Cardiovascular Effects:
The most significant cardiovascular effects transgender women the risk of thrombosis (the veins become clogged) which can cause estrogen. This is manifested most significantly in incrementode risk of thromboembolic states: deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a deep vein thrombosis divide and migrate through the veins to the lungs.
Symptoms of DVT include leg pain
in a single
increased sensitivity
in the leg swelling (edema) of one leg
temperature increase in the leg
changes in skin color of one leg, redness
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism include chest pain
(under the breastbone or apart, especially sharp or stabbing, it can also be a burning, sharp or dull, heavy feeling, may worsen with deep breathing, coughing, eating, bending or stooping)
stiffness of the ribs with breathing (eg : bending or taking the chest)
Shortness of breath that starts suddenly at rest or with exercise
Rapid heart rate (tachycardia) Cough
suddenly starts
Cough that may produce bloody sputum (significant amounts of visible blood or lightly bloody sputum)
Other symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
Wheezing (a shrill whistle is produced by the passage of air flows through obstructed airways, especially as it pertains smaller deep lung. It is a common finding in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
moist skin (sticky) (skin is cold, wet and usually pale also called a cold sweat)
Pielcianótica (is bluish skin or mucous membranes due to a deficiency of oxygen in the blood.)
nasal flaring (increase in the size of the nostrils during breathing)

pelvic pain Leg pain in one or both
edema (swelling or inflammation), in legs (lower extremities)
lump can be painful and is associated with a vein near the surface of the body (superficial vein)
low blood pressure pulse weak or absent

Dizziness Fainting

Vertigo (Vertigo may be experienced as lightheadedness, a feeling sev might faint, being unsteady, loss of balance or feeling that you yourself or the room is spinning or moving)

Sweating Anxiety (Anxiety is a feeling of apprehension or fear. The source of this uneasiness is not always known or recognized, which increases the distress it causes)
is important that hormonación be suspended at least one week before surgery and not resume until after two weeks of this.
Deep vein thrombosis is more frequent in the first year of treatment with estrogens. It is recommended that you practice a review of thromboembolic states who may have genetic predispositions as these develop the disease safely. For those who have relatives who have a thromboembolic state is very appropriate to undertake reviews of bias.
The risk of deep venous thrombosis is greater with oral estrogen with those who are in patches.
The risk of DVT increases with age and smoking, which is why doctors recommend the use deparches or implants under the skin in patients who smoke or are over 40 years.
Facial Hair: Facial hair
only very slightly affected by antiandrogens (hair density is slightly reduced, covers fewer areas of the face and takes longer to grow). Those with less than a decade has passed through puberty or ethnic background is not much facial hair (as in native American people) will have better results with antiandrogens. Antiandrogens also help to have a better outcome for those who require electrolysis or laser to remove facial hair. If these entrandoapenas in your 20s or if you are a teenager even prevent more facial hair appear when testosterone levels fall within the female range. Hair
the rest of the body:
The hair that already exists in the chest, nipples, shoulders, back, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, hands, feet and even noses and ears, depending on your genetics may change from coarse hair a fine hair over time. The hair on the arms, anus, perineal area (between scrotum and the anus) was reduced but not necessarily become thinner hair. The hair on the calves and shins will be smaller numbers. This all depends on your genetics. Effects
urogynecological:
transgender women generally report a decrease in sexual desire.
The ability to have an erection usually abates.
Motherhood:
Motherhood is impossible for transsexual women, however, genetic children are possible, if the sperm is stored in a sperm bancode before the transition. This is a very attractive option for lesbians and transgender women that their partners could be artificially inseminated with sperm previously saved.
Bone System:
Estrogens and androgens are necessary for men and women for bone health (healthy young women produce about 10 mg of testosterone per month). The bones do not remain static, they are constantly reabsorbed and created. Osteoporosis results when bone is formed before being reabsorbed. Estrogen is the main sex hormone that slows the loss of bone mass (even men). Both estrogen and testosterone to help stimulate bone formation (especially testosterone lapubertad). Some doctors recommend a bone density test (DEXA bone densitometry) to prevent osteoporosis, especially after sexual reassignment surgery.
medical interactions:
Any drug can cause side effects when combined with another, so it is best to consult a doctor when starting any medication. Estrogen formulations used, which contains ethinyl estradiol (commonly found in birth control pills) are causing more side effects. Gastrointestinal
:
Estrogens may cause damage to the gallbladder, especially in older people and people with obesity.
Estrogens (especially in pill form) may cause elevation in transaminases (transaminases are some enzymes, mainly located in the liver. To determine transaminases need a blood test.) Indicating liver toxicity. Porlo both liver function tests (liver) should be made regularly in transsexual women.
Neurological / Psychiatric:
Mood swings can happen? including developing depression.
Migraines can be made worse or appear for estrogen therapy.
Estrogen may induce the development of prolactinomas (are benign tumors of the pituitary gland that secrete prolactin, unahormona is best known for inducing milk production in lasmujeres but it also serves as a regulator of sexual function for men), which is why prolactin levels should be monitored periodically in transsexual women. Milk out of nipples can be a sign of elevated levels of prolactin. If a prolactinoma grows, it can cause eye damage (especially damage to peripheral vision), headaches, and symptoms of damage to the pituitary gland and hyperthyroidism. Metabolic
:
Estrogen therapy develop insulin resistance which places transgender women at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes, which was formerly known as diabetes of adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes. Can occur at any age, even during childhood. Usually begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which fat cells, muscles and liver do not use insulin properly. At first, the pancreas keeps up with increased demand by producing more insulin dela. However, over time it loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in respuestaa meals. Obesity and lack of exercise increase the odds of developing type 2 diabetes. Treatment involves taking medication for diabetes, choose the type dealimentos well they eat, exercising regularly, taking aspirin every day and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.
Symptoms: increased thirst


hungrier more fatigue
urination, especially at night weight loss

blurred vision
nonhealing wounds
With the loss of muscle mass due to the lack of androgen, the body's metabolism slows down and weight gain can occur even without changes in diet or activity. Doctor


Hormonación without warnings to stay safe


Introduction:

If you have decided you're ready to start using hormones, the best thing to do is get a doctor. That way you'll know that drugs are safe and give the doses are right for you. (Each individual must be hormonal therapy)
The doctor may also do blood tests to make sure the hormones are not damaging your liver or cause other dangerous side effects.
Anyway, it is understandable that many people can not go to a doctor (usually over money or find someone appropriate), and get their hormones from friends or other countries, the Internet, or on the streets. This article is for people who are taking hormones without a doctor, and want to know how to stay safe and take care of themselves.

medication Is it really?

Before taking a pill or injected hormones, you must be sure these are what we think they are. If you can not definitively identify a medication, probably better not take it.
No matter how you're taking your hormones, there is something else out there that you can make it better known.
Any real medicine comes in a sealed container with the name of the chemical and printed expiration lafecha in any part of it.
first thing you need to do is find out what the name of the chemical and if it is expired or not.
If the course is one month after it is printed on the medication, he is too old and may not work correctly. If
using hormone injections (shots), make sure the bottle is not abierta.La most medicine bottles have a metal or plastic cap that covers the rubber stopper. The top should still be there when you get the bottle and the rubber stopper should not have any needle marks on it.
If you are using pills or tablets, compare them with photos of the pills in this article. Just because a pill bottle says it contains a particular medication does not mean someone has not re-used and could be taking something different from what the box says it is.
This article does not include all possible types of hormones, but covers the most common.
If you are using patches, make sure your sleeves are unopened.
If possible, keep your hormones in their original container with the name of the chemical in it. That way, you will never mix them with other drugs. Prenatal Vitamins

:

Doctors often prescribe prenatal vitamins to pregnant women. Some trans women have tried to take these pills for hormonal effects. Prenatal vitamins do not contain any hormones in them. Take a vitamin daily as you probably will not hurt, but take more than that could cause an overdose of fat-soluble vitamins or iron.
Vitamin B


Many doctors dana trans women injections of vitamin B along with estrogen, especially vitamin B-12.
The B vitamins have no effect on hormones or in transition, but it's probably good for you, especially if you. not always possible to eat healthy. The B vitamins, including B-12, are available as pills or tablets at any pharmacy.

Birth Control Pills:

birth control pills often contain more than one chemical. These may be estrogen, ethinyl estradiol usually acetate or norethindrone, or progesterone and medroxyprogesterone.
Additionally, there are often two or more applications in each package, with doses that vary according to when in the cycle of a woman she is supposed to take the pill. A reason for this, and because there are so many different types of birth control pills out there, this article is too short to explain the choice of a birth control pill to transition or to prevent pregnancy.
A general guideline is not to take more than one pill per day.

Other tablets or pills:

The pills are shipped from the manufacturer in plastic bottles or blisters plástico.Para a prescription, a pharmacist will have a number of pills in a smaller bottle and label with the name of the chemical, the person to whom it is addressed, and when and how much to eat or drink.
Just because the pill bottle says it contains a hormone pill does not mean that it does indeed. This article contains photographs of several common types of hormone pills with recommendations on how many to take per day. Try to compare the pill in the bottle with the picture in this article, In this way you'll know for sure what you are taking and what is the recommended dose. You should make sure the pills are the right color many hormonal pills come in different colors for different dose.
If you are eating more than a daily pill, you could try taking one in the morning and before bed. In this way your hormone levels are more evenly throughout the day.
Some people cut the pills in half so they last longer, this only works for solid bars.
Eulexin Capsules and where a powder or liquid is inside a casing, can not be cut in half. As the dust or pieces left to cut a pill containing medication in them, be sure to clean and leave it where someone could accidentally eat.



Patches Patches are small hormone pieces of plastic that stick to your skin, and slowly passed a dose of estrogen to your body. Some doctors believe that the patches are less likely to cause side effects or secondary hormone pills or injections.
Make sure the container is not opened once removed from the package begins to lose its effectiveness. Glue the patches in places where your skin has no body hair, often in the lower half of his abdomen. The patches should be changed about once a week. If you notice redness, itching or pain around the patch, remove immediately and not try to use patches again you may be allergic to plastic or glue that holds patches in place.
Be careful when comparing the doses of the patches, many will list two doses, total dose and dose per day. You want to know the dose per day. In addition, many patches will be the same at different doses except for marks or labels on the containers. Compare your patches with the photos in this article.

Hormones Injectables (shots)

Injectable medications are shipped in glass bottles with a rubber stopper. About this rubber stopper is a plastic metal cap, which must be removed before use. When you get a bottle of hormones, make sure that the door is still put in place and there are no marks holes needles into the rubber stopper "You want to know every needle that has ever been in that jar.
Only use a needle or syringe for once, and only one person. Never share or reuse needles or syringes.
deshágasede always used needles using the utmost caution.
Always maintain cleanliness when handling many injectable medicines. Wash your hands and the body part where you are going to inject. Clean the rubber stopper and scrubbing the injection site with alcohol.
If you're sharing a bottle with a friend, make sure to never put laaguja at the top that has been put on one of their bodies. Look whenever you remove any of the drugs. Hormonasinyectables
Some, especially those from Mexico, come and syringes. These should come in a blister and have the name of the chemical and devencimiento date printed on it. The

Injecting and how often.

Most injectable hormones are a salt of a chemical called estradiol. The chemical name includes the name of the salt-estradiol valerate, for example, estradiol valerate salt. These different salts are also known by different names.

Chemical Name Trade Name
Estradiol Valerate is the same as
Primogin Delestrógeno

Estradiol Cypionate is the same that
Depo Estradiol Benzoate Estradiol

is the same as
Benzo Ginestril

delquímico
The name should be written on the bottle. Sometimes the trade name tambiénse is there.

estradiol salts are mixed with a number of medically purified vegetable oil. The bottle should also list the concentration of the hormone, usually as mg / ml (milligrams per milliliter), this tells you how many milligrams of the hormone is injected per milliliter of oil.
The concentradoscomunes are 5mg/ml, 10mg/ml, 20mg/ml and 40 mg / ml. Valerate

can use the concentrate to know how many milliliters of oil you inject.
For example, if the concentrate is 10mg/ml, then for every milliliter of oil, you get 10 milligrams of the hormone. Should require 2 ml, because 20 divided by 10 is 2. Here is a diagram. The Injection Concentrate

generally Singingpower injects herself a injection: a week if a week is not so. Estradiol Cypionate

:

The most common dose for Estradiol Cypionate is 5 milligrams every two weeks. This means that you inject enough oil to get 5 milligrams of the hormone estradiol. You can use the concentrate to know how many milliliters of oil to be injected.
For example: If the concentrate is 5mg/ml, then for every milliliter of oil, you get 5 mg of hormone. You would need 1 milliliter, because 5 divided by 5 is 1. Here is a diagram: The Injection Concentrate

0.25 (a cuartode) milliliter


People injects herself a week if a week is not, and so on.

Syringes and Needles:

Most syringes are marked in milliliters. They usually come in sizes from 1ml, 3ml or 5ml, and are numbered from 0 to 1, 3, or 5 on one side. Some very small syringes are marked in units, and reach the 100 for these syringes, 100 is the same as 1 milliliter, and 50 is the same as half milliliter.
Needles are measured in length and extent or thickness. The measure is a number, usually between 18 and 25. A lower number, the larger the needle. 18g needles are too thick, 25g needles are too narrow. Many people use a larger needle to remove hormones from the bottle, and then use a narrow needle to inject. The needles also come in different lengths. Need a needle of at least 1 inch (2.5 cms) in length.



Instructions Injecting different hormone injections to inject intravenous drugs. With hormones you asegurartede avoid hitting a vein.
The best way to learn how to inject your own hormones is learning from someone who already knows how to do it. Make sure you are clean and do not reuse needles or syringes, then have them show you how to carry out the process. If you are using prefilled needles, you can skip steps 2 to 6.

hormones need your bottle, a needle, a needle or narrow finest measuring at least 1in (2.5 cm) long, a syringe and two alcohol swabs.

First, wash your hands
Clean the rubber stopper at the top of the bottle with alcohol swab first. Open the syringe and needle and placed a thick needle on the tip of the syringe. Turn it to secure it firmly. Pull back
suction rod (plunger) until the end of it the opposite of the number of milliliters you plan to inject and the syringe is filled with air.
pierced with the needle, the rubber cap and push the air into the bottle. You must enter it all in for hormones to get out. Extract
many milliliters (measured on the side of the syringe) as you need to inject. Be sure not to get more air. Remove the syringe from the bottle. Put the needle
narrower at the tip of the syringe. Choose the place where injected. Most people use the upper outer quarter of your butt or the outside of your thighs.
'll want to change where you shoot every time, so that no place is too worn. Be careful if you have silicone in your ass, do not inject the hormones there. Use the thigh instead. Clean
the injected site with the second alcohol swab.
skin stretches to the side of the injection point so when you completed, the hole made by the needle into the skin and the hole in the muscle is not aligned and less hormones abounds.
injects the needle into the muscle in a straight, direct down (do not do it at an angle).
Pull back the plunger (stem suction) a little syringe should be very hard to pull, or should see a small air bubble formed within it. This means that there is an artery or vein. If you see blood entering the syringe, remove and start again.
Inject all the medication. Remove the needle
directly out.
Combining Medications:

Some people want to take any pill "X" and a compressed "Y", or half-dose combination pill "X" with the shot "Y". This is dangerous, it is very difficult to predict how different hormones interact with each other. The best bet is to use this whole thing before starting another. The exception is that many people take anti-androgen medication and medication estrogen.
This esgeneralmente safer to take two different types of estrogen. Never take more than one type of antiandrogen. Taking too much androgen is more dangerous than taking too much estrogen.

When ready to legal papers:

Eventually, you want to get hormones of a doctor. Making the decision to legalize is a very important issue. Often costs more money to start that obtained by other means. It often involves having to tell strangers about the "T", or other parts of his life about which you rarely hablarhabitualmente. Commitments or appointments can mean repeated ill-intentioned rude questions and other frustrations. The most important thing is asegurarsede to keep control of the situation recalls, you can always go yvolver to get the hormones of the street, Internet or other sources.
In every city there are doctors who are hormones and hormone requirements for trans people.
Generally, if you ask around, you can find someone you know the name of a friendly doctor.
Dr. to which they should be responsible. This means that:
A doctor in charge must:

Writing a prescription for hormones real you. can take home with them.
If you get a prescription for hormone injections (injections) should be taught how to inject properly. And in that case also give a prescription for syringes and needles.
Monitor your blood to make sure that hormones are not hurting your liver, kidneys and / or heart.
interested in other aspects of your health if you have asthma, for example, or anxiety, or something else, they must ensure that you still care
why you go the doctor should be respectful. This means you must call by the name of your choice, and calling it "her" if you want to be called "she." A friendly doctor does not care whether you losuficientemente "real" or pretty enough to get hormones.


NO DOCTOR EVER DEBETRATAR PROPASA OR ATTEMPTING TO MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF YOU HAD TO GIVE SOME LANECESIDAD sexual favors in exchange of hormones.

25 questions about sexual orientation


Jesus

Generelo
Writer Sunday, July 30, 2006
... Proposal to treat homosexuality in education. "

"25 questions about the direction sexual teaching guide for teachers, counselors and trainers published by the Child Protection Agency of Madrid written by Jesus Generelo of COGAM Education Commission (Lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual Madrid ) is a unit that aims to fill a gap in the field today in English education.

... and to respect diversity there is nothing like forgetting the prejudices and truly know what the differences. We therefore designed this guide teachers in 25 clear and simple questions with precise answers in colloquial language.
then transcribe some of the questions phone:


1. What is Homosexuality?

is the sexual orientation of people who are emotionally and sexually attracted to persons of the same gender. Men who are attracted to other men are known as gays and women who are attracted to other women are called lesbians. People who are attracted to both sexes are bisexual. These categories, like any classification of human beings, are not absolute.

gay and lesbian orientation should not be confused with the transsexualism, processor, or transvestism. Transsexual is a person who has the body of a different genre to genre psychological. Transformer is the person doing shows in which she dresses in the clothes of another gender. Transvestite is a person who enjoys dressing in clothes of the opposite gender. Both transsexuals and transvestites processors or may be male or female, heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. We must always distinguish between gender, sexual orientation and sexual practice.


2. "Who are the gay and lesbian teens?

are, therefore, adolescents who are attracted to persons of the same sex. When they discover or intuit that attraction tend to hide for fear of scorn and discrimination. Therefore, any student or student of any school may be hiding their gay or lesbian orientation. These teens often live the discovery of his sexual orientation with feelings of loneliness, anxiety and fear. It is very common not to have to talk to. They need support and a climate of confidence to strengthen self-esteem that are often badly damaged.


3. Why are there different sexual orientations?

There are different theories of a very diverse: psychological, endocrine, neuroanatomical, genetic ... None has been scientifically proven conclusively. The truth is that sexual orientation is not chosen by the individual, is not modifiable and, of course, is contagious. Is an orientation of the person, one way to be total. The natural thing for gays and lesbians is being gay and lesbians as for heterosexual orientation is heterosexual. Asking people to behave in ways contrary to their nature, ie, sexual orientation, seriously endangers the health and psychological balance of those people.

They fear rejection by family and friends who could deprive them of emotional support (and economic) that all people need. They also fear rejection at school, where nothing makes them assume that there are going to find a haven in which to talk someone who understands and accepts them.

A peculiarity of lesbians and gays that unlike other marginalized minorities is that they receive information from early childhood on the identity of their subculture and his group through the family and immediate environment. In the case of lesbians and gays does not happen. The silence about their reality is so oppressive both inside and outside the family.


10. Are gays more likely to get AIDS or other diseases?

No, preventive measures in unsafe sex are the same for everyone. But in the treatment of safe sex is one of the moments that most clearly can emphasize the existence of various sexual situations. Sex education should be done as precisely and unambiguously as possible. Furthermore, low self-esteem of young gay men may experience yes you can take to initiate sexual intercourse regardless of the necessary prophylactic measures.

No, no medical association, psychological or psychiatric considered as such. The World Health Organization also withdrew from the list of known diseases.


13. What does it mean for a person to recognize his homosexuality ("coming out" in colloquial terms)?

recognition of his own homosexuality is commonly known as "coming out." It is important for educators to remember and keep in mind that this is a specific experience of lesbians and gays. Heterosexuals should not go through the act of naming themselves because it is assumed to be straight. In that moment of recognition, of "coming out" adolescents need special assistance. This particular rite of passage can be very hard and complicated. Ensuring that young people carry it out in an atmosphere of freedom and confidence to develop their personality and self-esteem without them look damaged by traumatic experiences. It is important to have on hand an address or a phone where they can share views and experiences with experts or professionals with other lesbians or gay.


14. When a third person acknowledges his own homosexuality?

The decision to "come out" should take every person as it deems appropriate, carefully choosing the time and people you can trust. No need to tell everyone. Nobody should force lesbians and gays to be quiet, but not to speak.


15. Who will speak first of their sexual orientation for lesbians and gays?

Each case is different. It is usually a friend a. Girls tend to be more receptive. In schools should have counselors and tutors ready to assist adolescents in this situation. The family is particularly problematic. Often parents also need information and assistance.


16. What parents often react and mothers with a lesbian daughter or gay son?

also depends on the mood and ideology of each parent. However, usually through some common stages: shock, denial, guilt, expression of feelings, making a personal decision. Parents should be clear that there is no fault and workers they did not affect anything in the sexual orientation of their child


17. Is homosexuality a matter purely sexual?

No, at least if we understand sexuality as a dimension of the whole person. It is an emotional issue as a whole, feelings and behaviors. Love is not reserved for heterosexual and homosexual sex.


18. How should I respond to questions about homosexuality?

All issues guidelines lesbian or gay should be treated as open as possible to enable / young people do not have the impression that it is a taboo, something you can not talk.


19. How can combat homophobia and heterosexism from schools? Introducing

respect different sexual orientations and lifestyles that lead as well as information about them in a natural way of teaching. That is, neither more nor less, pointing to the cross LOGSE in Health Education, Sex Education, Education for Peace and Moral and Civic Education. Caring for the vocabulary used and taking into account that in every explanation that is done in a classroom, in front lesbian, gay, or at least, doubts about their sexuality. It has made a major effort to eradicate sexism in the educational system. This effort may also apply to sexual orientation. When you talk to a girl the opportunity to have a partner, for example, do not assume that this will be a boy. Just as you are making a major effort to suppress the sexism of language education can do own to eliminate heterosexism. There are many terms and phrases for everyday use, in fact, convey deep-seated prejudices against homosexuality. Is the fundamental responsibility of educators to eradicate the tradition that so negatively affects many young people.


20. What can you say a / a teenager who feel doubt about their sexual orientation?

First, educators should make an effort to know and understand the particular problems that the youth is living. Never say that the feelings you are experiencing are temporary. In some cases they are, but not others. Should always be clear about their orientation, whatever it is, is valid, natural, respected and protected by law. Also, with any sexual orientation will be able to develop their identity and happiness. Adolescents have the right to explore freely and without fear their own sexual orientation. What, indeed, is passing is the feeling of doubt, fear, anguish and loneliness that are surely suffering. In the hands of their educators is to ensure that those negative feelings go away faster.

Those educators who sit far away and unaware of this reality should know that they have many libraries, data banks and associations in which to learn.


21. How many / os lesbians and gays are there?

The number, in fact, is irrelevant. The rights and respect not only good for the majority. However, more reliable studies speak of between 5 and 10% of the population. Relations of men among themselves or women each have existed in all cultures at all times and in all regions of the planet. Every culture has interpreted them differently, as it has done with sex in general.

is difficult to count gays and lesbians because they are concepts, such as defining all human beings, very slippery. Not all people who have sex with people of the same sex or lesbian feel gays.


22. Why we know more about gays than about lesbians?

Historically, female sexuality has been ignored and neglected. Thus, lesbians live double discrimination because of sexual orientation and gender. If one takes into consideration only a free and independent female sexuality hardly be considered lesbian sexuality. In almost all areas of our society the man has greater visibility and greater economic and social power. A woman has been given private space. This leads to a lesbian extreme invisibility. Do not think of two women living together who are couples, however, lesbians are a very important number.


23. Are lesbian couples and gay split the male and female roles?

No. Each partner is a world where everything is agreed on an equal footing. It is true that any of the partners must assume the role of the opposite sex. The traditional division of gender roles is disappearing as heterosexual couples and, of course, is another of the false stereotypes of lesbian or gay couples.


24. "Homosexuality is encouraged to talk about it?

in any way. In announcing the reality of lesbian and gay stereotypes are removed, eliminating fears and makes life easier for those who suffer because of their sex. During centuries of repression of homosexuality any gay or lesbian has become heterosexual. It may cover sexual orientation, never change it.

Moreover, there is also evidence that prejudice and homophobia in the fall when students personally know a lesbian or a gay. It is therefore very important to the collaboration of the educational community with gay and lesbian associations, which are often volunteers to work with educators and raise awareness of the normality of her life in order to remove esteretipos and prejudices that harm all the world.

House of transformismo





By: SERGIO ALVAREZ disenchanted
The facade is abandoned, full of bars, the light is low and on the wall that separates it from a shop sits next door a thin man, dirty and badly dressed that seems determined to make disposable course. The door opens and a dark garage which is not the end and leave with joy is just the man plucked eyebrows that went to open cross indicates that a second gate and take a ladder. The warm wood of the stairs, the emergence of light and festive atmosphere that is after last step of beginning to shake off the bad vibes visitors. The Queens House Linda Lucía Callejas is a spacious and luxurious, much less glamorous, is only half the second floor of an old family house that looks even more closely because in the corridor have improvised a beauty parlor and living room the place is also installed a dressmaking shop.



The friendly and funny greeting of the inhabitants of the house, mirrors, music, pictures of Marilyn Monroe that line the walls, mannequins, costumes and sequined costumes hanging from the window of the dressmaking give the house a cheerful carnival atmosphere and make you feel that you enter for a world touched by the illusion, fantasy and magic. Founded in San Francisco, a remote district of Ciudad Bolivar, Queens House is an adventure undertaken fifteen years ago by Ramon Salazar Guevara, a Caqueta that once could make the dream of cross-dressing, decided to multiply many times as possible and set up that dream a house in Queens to help other men to enjoy the pleasure and adventure of becoming women at least for one night.

the past fifteen years, thanks to the Queens House Linda Lucía Callejas, Ramon has won nineteen titles in competitions transformismo reigns and has helped many transvestites also to win contests and titles of queens and has made hundreds of renowned lawyers, military, medical, or single parents to become women play occasionally. A telephone call or home visit and a small sum of money can get Ramon or Cuba or Jhon Alex, Samir or Leo, the regulars of the house, leading to interest in shopping, you are advised to do nails, eyelashes, which clock woman, what band, what wig and what dress should buy to look splendid. Then the makeup at home, teach him to walk, to put devices such as foam bras and hips and gracefully wear suits or women's costumes. The

Queens House has no timetable and there every day seems a prelude to a big party, but there is a special night, a night where sequins, high heels and wigs find meaning and splendor is the night of Halloween. So the house is full of turmoil, Cuba, Havana transvestite who opened the door and had to flee the homophobia of the Cuban regime, loudly sings a song of John Gabriel as she prepares to present that night dressed in Roots, a gay bar in town. "This woman is going to go crazy over this song," Leo denies being overwhelmed because you need to deliver a Pharaoh costume you have ordered and purchased materials for making were not appropriate. While Leo denies, Samir, Peggy prepares the guise of trying to make the competition that I Dream of Jeannie, which is the disguise that, if he can survive the commitment to the Pharaoh, will present the malgeniado Leo.

Suddenly, looking towards a secluded corner of the room, he discovers a man of nearly forty years and impeccably dressed in a cloth suit talks to Leo while helping to put some buttons on the guise of Pharaoh. "See, my life, to take the female in you," says John Alex dressed man of the cloth. The nervous man looks around, stands up, smiles at the present and walk to the makeshift beauty salon. The man stands before the mirror, takes off his jacket and settles into the chair. John Alex

stated on the floor and begins to take based on the man's face. At the base followed by two strips of micropore tape to enhance the eyebrows. Microporous strips of masking tape holds the John Alex begins to wrap around the top of the head man of the cloth suit. The heat of the place and make you sweat band man still wearing the pants and shoes cloth clerk. John Alex wipes the sweat with a tissue and is focused on the job, applied lipstick to man mark him with a lipstick brush. "This is what I love most in life: Men make up," smiles John Alex.

"Ten cerradito the eye while you under the river, John Alex ordered to man and red makeup applied on the eyelids. John Alex is a black solid, but nimble, which queens makeup since he was fifteen and craft it shows. It zooms in and out of men's dress cloth and retouch with precision and safety. "Where're your glasses," says Peggy who has come to see how the novice. "I do not scare the kid," says John Alex to Peggy. "The girl, the man suddenly intervenes dress cloth, makeup will not only enjoying it, but that has given strength to let out the vain woman who seems to take years lurking within it. "Nice, Ruby, Man says Peggy cloth dress and then returns and leaves for John Alex put false eyelashes. Once affluent

tabs, Ruby gets up, gets closer to the mirror, smiles like a girl who is finally making a prank, is satisfied, turns and walks down the corridor to stretch your legs. "You're being a little doll," says John Alex. "What, you thought it would not be droll?" Replied Ruby, which increasingly shows more of the cat's nails. It is clear that he wants to leave behind the days to come across a female should wait for the ex-wife to leave work so they can be measured from the panties it up stockings, bras, shoes and dresses that he gave her. Could not be controlled and spent entire afternoons parading before the mirror of the cabinet was the fourth marriage, just not very funny because he was afraid of makeup and there was a man willing to look at her.

that time, the Queens House has encouraged even more, the Pharaoh and has appeared and has done so with an entourage. Accompanying the secretary is dedicated not only to apply gold paint on the body, but to pamper, to provide all kinds of care and satisfy the whims children. Overcome the desire Pharaoh costume, Leo sat in the other chair beauty salon, and Ramón is making it a wonderful and brave I Dream of Jeannie. Peggy has already pig nose and wiggle the body and the suggestive costume for the room while a woman close to the fifties and has arrived with her partner and their children is determined to become an admiral proud because it aspires to no be recognized by anyone in the costume party to which he has been invited.

John Alex gets a briquet, lights, on the tip of a pencil mark on the fire and the hot tip in the shade of the eyes of Ruby. Ruby, who increasingly feel more beautiful, smiling with joy, with a sweet and flirtatious female accomplice. "Ok, now comes the acid test, "says John Alex and asks to bring the wig. Peggy about the lush, blond wig Ruby chose for the first night and John Alex making hands, patting with fingers spread, the combed with patience and when you think you are perfect, put on the head of Ruby and accommodates hard for me to join on the masking tape. Facing the mirror appears for the first time a completely female Ruby, looks gorgeous, the makeup has been a success and all the house held. But the joy of Cuba, Ramon, John Alex, Peggy, of Pharaoh, the subject of the Pharaoh, Leo and others can not be present together or a hint of gloss vanity and satisfaction appears in the eyes of Ruby.

"Now the dress," Ramon and Ruby commands, docile, Cuba enters the dressing room. Ruby finally removed the cloth and clothing is in his underwear. With efforts and with the help of Cuba quiet hides the tummy and put the belt. Cuba jokes and get the rest of the process is to be happy and fed on illusion and vanity. The band followed a bra with foam cups, two pairs of pantyhose, a low-cut black suit and heels inevitable. "You were super," says Ramon when Ruby leaves the room. "Sure," Ruby said that if the makeup was vain, with the black dress women feel more beautiful and attractive on earth.

After being ordered to strip again to put a fake hips and buttocks, Ruby comes back out into the corridor. Walk through the place, poses for photos, he flirts Admiral, Admiral children and accept the praise from everyone who wants to tell has been beautiful. Ruby is euphoric, back and forth across the room surmounted by a female happiness so that everyone gets to forget that just a bit like a bored clerk. While flirting, Ruby sits in the same chair where I was hitting buttons and start to get fake nails with patience and dedication. Pharaoh, embraced his courtier, looks from afar, while I Dream of Jeannie change contact lens to see if the new color is better off with the flowing dress that has been placed.

After trimming the nails as it seems appropriate to put the nose correction, Ruby is fully ready. While she is flirting, coming home a lot of other transvestites, some curious and a group of bodyguards whose head is the boyfriend of a beautiful, slim young transvestite who is also tired of getting from one place to another and to remove a little role to the newly discovered flirtatious and Ruby. Now not a soul can not be more in the Queens House Linda Lucía Callejas and if someone said that the best party of Halloween is to be made there, a bit alone would turn up the volume to music for the formation of the most splendid and fun carnival.

But really it's time to go. Cuba, I Dream of Jeannie, Peggy, The Pharaoh, The Secretary of Pharaoh, and transvestites Ruby newcomers start down the stairs. Some will work, others to Theatron costume contest, the largest gay nightclub in the city, and others will just have fun and enjoy the many festivals and clubs that celebrate Halloween this Saturday night. It's almost midnight and threatens to rain, but no one is discouraged, on the contrary, the shouting in the dark entrance of the house is increasing and while everyone finds a taxi or get on the car of a friend, Ramon transvestite looks and feels happy: so many years working and so many worries to keep afloat The Queens House Linda Lucía Callejas make sense when you see the happiness of all around him now. Go to those people who have brought women within themselves and now they talk, laugh, cry and laugh and release means that the dream is finished and thanks to him and his Queens house that night will not only better and more suggestive costumes in many places, but also a few men who could discover the body and always wear clothing that every day is also just a disguise.

HOMOPHOBIA IS A PHOBIA?



Source:

Crissthian Manuel Olivera Fuentes


Clinical Psychology has been busy studying regularly phobias, which are defined as a psychological disorder characterized by a marked and persistent fear of an object or situation (1). Vallejo mentions four characteristics that define a particular fear as a phobia, that is disproportionate to the situation that creates, that can not be explained or reasoned, that is outside voluntary control and, eventually, lead to the avoidance of the feared situation (2).

homophobia concept since its inception by George Weinberg in 1973, has been used both from the academic field as the sexual diversity activists. But homophobia is it really a phobia? What are the implications of this assigning meaning?. Like everything that has to do with human beings, the answers are not absolute and depend on several factors, but generally in most cases certainly not homophobia is part of the psychopathology.

Kon explains that "the term homophobia itself is inadequate to the extent which is associated with individual psychopathology, with repressed or latent homosexuality of the individual himself, with neurosis, sexual fears and other things similar-(3). There are cases where homophobia is exactly this fear effect (expressed as a rejection) by the people because of their own desires and fantasies, but hatred and discrimination against gays and lesbians is basically the product of that culture created through a sex-gender system of bipolar character, full of prejudices and stereotypes and that feeds on racism, classism and misogyny. It is then within the socio-psychological.

The problem is when homophobia is defined as disease and other court reporting agencies and the media. In some homophobic hate crimes (Murder) committed in the United States (4), for example, the strategy of the lawyers of the attackers was to excuse the conduct of their clients through the figure of homophobia, that is, having fallen prey to a feeling that they could not control and ended in the homicide of his victim (a gay or lesbian). It was feared that the judge acquitted the murderer or at least attenuate it off.

We then while pathologizing homosexuality has gone from the homophobia, the hegemonic discourse and cultural and institutional practices that express it are punishable by this concept from a clinical focus to homosexual not have this type crime the penalty should be. The risk is that if we consider homophobia as a disease we are endorsing impunity as one of the ways in which society expresses little or no value to the rights of homosexuals, including principal, his own life. ----------------------------------------------

Practical work on sexuality, homosexuality and lesbianism. DEVILS WHO NEED





meaning of sexuality
Sexuality is a basic element of personality, its own way of being, of manifestation, to communicate with others, to feel, express and experience human love. Therefore, it is an integral part of personality development and educational process.
Sexuality characterizes man and woman not only the physical but also psychological and spiritual, in all its manifestations. This diversity response to the design of God in the vocation straightened each.
genital, oriented to procreation, is the highest expression in the physical plane, the communion of love of the spouses. Torn from this context of mutual giving genitality loses its meaning, gives the individual self and becomes a moral disorder.
Sexuality oriented, high-and integrated by love acquires truly human quality. Table biological and psychological development is carried out only with the conquest full sense of the emotional maturity that is manifested in selfless love and total self-giving.



Current Situation Currently
are notable differences among Christians, about sex education.
educators and parents recognize not yet ready to perform a proper sexual education. The school is not always able to offer a complete teaching of the subject, which would be incomplete scientific information.
Some Catholic organizations in different parts, have begun to develop a positive sexual education work aimed not only to help children and adolescents in the path of psychological and spiritual maturity, but also to warn against the dangers arising from ignorance and environmental degradation.



Teaching statements
The Second Vatican Council in the "Declaration on Christian Education" affirms the right of youth to receive an adequate education to individual needs.
The pastoral constitution "Gaudim etspes" portrays the family as the preferred place to train young people in chastity. Requires the cooperation of educators with parents.
This education should be offered to children and youth in the area of \u200b\u200bfamily and giving it gradually, always looking to the formation of the individual. Juan Pablo II
reserve a prominent position on sex education as a value of the individual. "Education in love as the gift of self is also the indispensable premise for parents called to offer their children a clear and delicate education ..."
Pope makes the school responsible for this education-service and tune with the parents. "Sex education, law and duty parent's fundamental, it must always be under their attentive guidance whether at home or in educational centers chosen and controlled by them. In this sense, the Church reaffirms the law of subsidiarity, the school must observe when it cooperates in sex education, reaching the same spirit that animates parents. "Chastity is
self-control, the ability guide the sexual instinct in the service of love and integrate it into the development of the individual. Tends to harmonize the various elements that make up person and overcome the weaknesses of human nature, sin.
To get a complete education for chastity "Christian parents special care and attention to education for virginity, as the supreme form of gift of self is the true meaning of human sexuality.
In the teaching of John Paul II, the positive consideration of the values \u200b\u200bthat must be discovered, above the standard that should not be violated.
This education must bring the children to know and assess the moral standards as necessary and highly valuable guarantee for responsible personal growth in human sexuality.
For this the church is strongly opposed to a system of sex information dissociated from moral principles.



Fundamentals
Christian education aims to achieve self-fulfillment through the development of his whole being, spirit, flesh, and the gifts of nature and grace that has been enriched by God.



Christian conception of sexuality
The body reveals the meaning of life and the human vocation. So the Christian vision of man recognizes a particular function, the embodiment is the specific way of living and acting of the human spirit. Anthropological significance of nature: "The body reveals man," says the man. "
A second meaning of theological nature: the body helps to reveal God and love operator, as the man says creatureliness ..
The body calls man and woman for fertility, as one of the fundamental meanings of their sexual being.
The sexes are complementary: the same and different at the same time, not identical but equal in personal dignity are similar to understand, different to complement each other.
The man and woman are two ways to perform a specified share of the Divine: they have been created in the image and likeness of God "and fill the calling associated with a partner, a community of love.
After the original sin of men and women lose their original innocence. There is an analogy
between the body itself and the sacramental economy, which is the concrete way through which man attains the grace and salvation.
"The mystery of man becomes clear only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word and the existence acquires its full meaning in the call to divine life. Only by following Christ, man respond to this vocation and fully stated to grow up to be "perfect man, unto the measure of the fullness of Christ."
In the light of Christ's sexuality appears as a vocation to make the love that the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the redeemed. This sublime vocation to marriage.
Jesus indicated that virginity for the kingdom of heaven is a vocation of love, makes the heart is most free to love God.
virginity for the kingdom of heaven prefigures more accurately the reality of eternal life, which is essentially love. Means renouncing the typical form of love marriage, but assumes a deeper level enhanced and transformed by the presence of the Spirit, which teaches to love the Father and the brethren as the Lord Jesus.
In sum, sexuality contributes to the maturing comprehensive creation, fertility and transmission of life.
emotional life manifests itself in a characteristic way in various states of life (union spouses, celibacy, etc.). In all cases the emotional life must be integrated into the individual.



nature, purpose and means of sexual education
A true learning is based on the education of the will, feelings and emotions. To tend to the maturity of emotional and sexual life is necessary self-control, which presupposes such virtues as modesty, temperance, respect for self and others, openness to others.
Although various modalities that assumes each person's sexuality, education should be promoted above all that maturity that "includes not only the acceptance of sexual prowess integrated into the set of values, but also the potential "sacrificial," ie the ability of donation, altruistic love. "
Due to the impact of sexuality in all human beings need to name a few aspects: health, the influences of family and social environment, the reactions of the subject, the education of the will and the degree of development of sustained spiritual life by the help of grace.
disorder caused by sin, present and active in the individual as well as in the culture that characterizes society exerts strong pressure to conceive and experience sexuality in opposition to the law of Christ.



General considerations on the human person and sexuality
Sexuality is the foremost among the factors that characterize the lives of men. Through sex
characterized people as men and women in her biological background, psychological and spiritual. So sexuality is a topic frequently addressed in books, magazines, etc. Also, corruption has increased in v nature, which constantly develop and are performed in your life for a growing progress. But in their judgments about moral values, man can not proceed according to their arbitrary personal.
There can be no true advancement of human dignity, but respect the essential order of nature. It is true that history and civilization have changed as well as human needs, but all evolution of morals should be kept within the limits imposed by the immutable principles based on the constituent elements and essential relations of every human person.



The Magisterium of the Church
Christ instituted His Church as "the pillar and foundation of truth." With the Holy Spirit's assistance, she ceaselessly preserves and transmits without error the truths of the moral order and she authentically interprets not only the revealed positive law, but also "the principles that flow from human nature itself "and which relate to the full development and sanctification of man ..
is also a fact that the Church, throughout its history has always considered a number of precepts of natural law, absolute and immutable, and that the transgression of them has seen a contradiction of the doctrine and the spirit of the Gospel.

sexual ethics sexual ethics refers to certain fundamental values \u200b\u200bof human life and Christian life, and applies this general doctrine. In this domain there exist principles and norms that the Church has always transmitted. These principles and rules should not their origin to a particular type of culture, but knowledge of the divine law and human nature, so that they may be considered obsolete.
The Church follows a principle and of Revelation and its authentic interpretation of natural law, he also her traditional doctrine, by which the use of sexual function has its true meaning and moral rectitude only in true marriage .




Premarital sex
The doctrine of the Church says it should be within the framework of marriage that every genital act as premature relationships do not guarantee the honesty and loyalty are assured. Therefore, the carnal union can not be legitimate only when it has established a definitive community of life between a man and a woman they always understood and taught the Church. Indeed
premarital sex can not make it absolutely should be deployed as in a paternal and maternal love, or if it does it will be bad for children who can not enjoy stable coexistence should be.
Then the love of two people who want to join in marriage must therefore be manifested externally.




Homosexuality is a distinction between homosexual
Those who come from a false education, lack of normal sexual development, of bad examples, it is temporary.
Those who are definitively such a kind of innate instinct or a pathological constitution.
can not use any method that recognizes pastoral moral justification. According to the objective moral order homosexual relations are acts which lack an essential and indispensable.
Holy Scripture testifies that homosexual acts can not be approved in any case.
The Church holds that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered and these can not be approved.
is clear that the homosexual inclination is not a sin but it is morally wrong behavior.
Despite the years that has Scripture, in Genesis there was talk of such relationships as expressing moral judgments against them. Also in Lev., The writer says that homosexuals are excluded from the people of God. San Pablo thinks this behavior as an example of the blindness which has fallen humanity, supplanting the original harmony between Creator and creatures, the severe deviation of idolatry has led to all sorts of excesses in the moral field.
addition this contradicts one of the sacraments of the Lord, as the union of two persons of the same sex does not express complementarity, capable of transmitting life.
Being a moral disorder, prevents self-realization and happiness by acting contrary to the creative wisdom of God. The Church, in rejecting erroneous opinions regarding homosexuality, does not limit but rather defends freedom and dignity, understood so realistic and authentic.
People who have this tendency through no deliberate choice that has no alternative option but is forced to behave in this way will work without fault.
Those who are homosexual should be recognized that the fundamental freedom that characterizes the human person and gives the special dignity. As in every conversion from evil, thanks to this freedom, human effort, enlightened and sustained by the grace of God can enable them to avoid homosexual activity.
Homosexuals who want to follow the Lord should be like this expressed through the cross God's redemptive love for us in Jesus, and the conformity of the self-denial of men, and lesbians with the Lord's sacrifice will be for him autologous source that will save them a lifestyle that continually threatens to destroy them. Priests and religious
provide special pastoral care for these people, trying these possess a chaste life and remind the incomparable dignity that God has given her too. The promotion of this assistance (which may include the collaboration of the psychological sciences, sociological and medical) is fully in accordance with the teaching of the Church, which says that every human person has problems and difficulties, but also has opportunities to grow, but the reason why people offer help, whether heterosexual or homosexual are same fundamental identity: being a child and, by grace, child of God, heir of eternal life, but always be clear that homosexuality is immoral. But at the same time you must remove all support for any organization seeking to subvert the teaching of the Church, which is ambiguous about it or neglect it completely.




Masturbation
The psychology and sociology show that it is a normal phenomenon in the evolution of sexuality, especially young people.
Such a view contradicts the doctrine and pastoral practices of the Catholic Church that both teachers, and the moral sense of the faithful, says that masturbation is gravely disordered. The reason is that the deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside normal conjugal relations essentially contradicts the purpose whatever reason determined.
Modern psychology provides valid data on this subject. It helps to see how the immaturity of adolescence or psychological imbalance can influence behavior.



Sin serious and fundamental choice
peripheral actions (in which refuse is usually of a decisive choice) can weaken the fundamental option (those fully committed to one person), but not to the point of being able to change completely. However, a fundamental option change God occurs harder in the field of sexual activity where the man does not transgress the moral order in a deliberate and responsible manner but rather under the influence of passion, weakness, immaturity, etc.
No doubt the fundamental choice is what ultimately defines the moral status of a person. According to the Church
mortal sin is this opposition to authentic love which is included in all that deliberate transgression, in serious matter, of any moral laws.
The sins mortally or only when his action comes from direct contempt for love of God and neighbor, but also when an object is free to choose seriously disordered



The virtue of chastity
The virtue of chastity not merely to avoid mistakes, but also has other positive and higher requirements. The whole personality in their behavior, both internal and external.
people are graded according to the different states of life:
In virginity or consecrated celibacy, or as prescribed for all the moral law, whether married or single.
The sin of fornication is condemned not only to the extent that harm to others or the social order, but because it offends who has rescued if blood of Christ.
The demands of Christian life
The apostle Paul describes the painful conflict between the law of his mind and the law of the flesh in its members, but the man can achieve this liberation, by the grace of God.
The Church has always recommended to maintain a chaste life:
Discipline of the senses and the mind
Prudence careful to avoid occasions of sin
Save Moderation
modesty
Occupation healthy diversions
Appeal common prayer and the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist.
is important to have a high opinion of the virtue of chastity is a virtue that honors the human being and which enables him to true love, selfless, generous and respectful of others.
Duties of Bishops, priests, parents, social media
is for the bishops to teach the faithful the moral doctrine that refers to sexuality, as well as ensure that the faculties of theology and seminaries exposed is a sound doctrine in the light of faith and under the guidance of the Magisterium of the Church.
The bishops, priests and employees must undertake to warn the faithful against the erroneous opinions.
Parents should strive to lead their children and students with psychological maturity.
All who have the media should exercise their profession according to his Christian faith.

LABEL?

by Francisco Javier Lagunes Gaitán

already the old saying: There are none so blind as those who do not want to see. Both have told us some guidance from the sex is bad and evil, we all grow up with the fear of encountering a strange object in ourselves (or others). Once again, the human refuses to be contained in a simple scheme. Cast the first stone who clearly knows himself and not hide behind a label.
Who am I? Whence I come from? Where do I go? No doubt we all have times when we would do anything to get a proper answer to these basic questions of the human condition. However, in the long run it seems best not to have too short a response that allows us to question ourselves and grow in different directions.
The truth is that too lazy to get up every day and having to define whether or not we are, so we took the shortcut to get a label and lead more or less according to what is supposed to indicate it. The only fixed feature of the human is that while there is life, there is change and many times in a sense unexpected.
identity tags for everyone s. ..
Labels can serve as shortcuts or tricks that can help us make life more manageable. But they can also become obstacles weights and frightening, and cause us great unhappiness. It is very important not to marry a label and be able to critically review whether I had really helping me, or hurts me more.
My personal identity has many layers like an onion. Each layer is formed by an identity label that gives me: my body, my name, my family, my class, my nationality, my language, my religious beliefs, my political ideology, my town, my favorite soccer team, my hobbies My profession, my sexual orientation, my music dearest, my ethnic group, etc. And as good onion, if you take away all the layers, there is nothing below ...
Each tag allows me to identify with some and distinguish myself from others. Some labels are highly valued, while others are identified and rejected. I placed some labels give me pride and personal safety. At the same time, I can do anything to avoid as much as possible some other labels that make me feel ashamed. It is common on 15 September proud of our Mexican, but nobody wants to be labeled as Indian or naco (short for Totonac, a native indigenous people "as Zacapoaxtla, whose participation decided the victory of the Mexican side some Battle of Puebla, May 5th of last century).
Avatars of the sexual orientation labels
The repertoire of sexual orientation labels is extremely limited. While human sexuality is so rich and complex, usually handle only 3 labels to try to describe (in terms of sexual orientation): homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual.
But reaching this simple trio of labels was not easy. In biblical times there was just two labels: virtuous and sinful ( pure and impure). At that time no one knew the concept of homosexuality that just turned 133 years. If a man sexually penetrating another like him (the Bible prohibits sex between women), did not distinguish whether it was by mutual consent or by force, they do not fit on the head that could have been a loving act simply prohibited. They felt that these men had no real inner need to do this, as if only wishing to offend the Lord by pure and reckless frivolity.
Since the late nineteenth century came "from the psychiatric vocabulary" two new and complementary concepts: homosexuality and heterosexuality. Before that time people were simply tastes, feelings and erotic practices (pecamnosas or virtuous), but to coin the concept of heterosexuality created a new backup to hide from the ghosts inner self. The label of heterosexuality and not only had the foundation of religion and social authorities, but now was science that seemed to come in support. I'm healthy and so I should be heterosexual, did you tell the average citizen.

The various facets of How trans

these days talk about transsexuality is a bit difficult because we generally know very little, this does not mean that there is no material on this subject, there are some thoughts, articles and even some works devoted to this, but are few, and still full of prejudice and confusion.
At present, there is a concern for "understanding" classify and determine transsexuality. People and society in general, is egregious mess and even confusing homosexuality, transgender, intersex, transvestism and transsexualism. Even the media and some well-meaning, contribute to the confusion of terms related to sexual diversity, language seems Salvadoran, who have crossed wires, are not very clear, and tend to confuse one thing and another.
On the other hand, there are many prejudices, ideas rooted in concepts that have nothing to do with the reality of l @ s transsexuals, who only respond to part of your reality, but very biased and one-sided, inflexible to the discussion. Something similar to "all transsexuals mimic the prototype more exaggerated femininity," "all are and want to be a marginal," which women believe, "" feminine appearance is linked to transsexuality ", etc. ... (Almost all of these ideas are related to the transsexuals, because in the reverse case is less, and there seems to a lesser extent). Today
, transsexuality is considered, not as a sexual orientation, but as part of sexual identity, ie transsexuals are men or women, regardless of sexual orientation. With this, it is to end the misunderstandings or the fact that diversity, by unknown, it considers all under the same name. This is where it becomes important or desirable to differentiate what is the sexual identity of the subject orientation of sexual desire. In other words, identity answers the cuestionante Who am I, and is associated with feelings of adequacy and inadequacy of sex, that we classified as women or men, and in our particular case, as a transsexual man or woman. Sexual orientation responds to the question "who attracts me?, And relates to who we are attracted to sexually, this we classified as heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or asexual. As guidance
and identity are two completely different realities, are in reality all combinations of one or the other. In this case we understand that just as there are men and women who are accepted as such and are heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or asexual transsexuals may also like men, women, both or none.
addition, it is valuable in this section, clarifying the differences between transvestism, transgender and transsexual. We therefore consider that:
transvestism is wearing the clothing of another gender, eye transvestite person may feel very identified with their gender and only experience the pleasure of wearing apparel for the other sex, has not nothing to do with its identity or sexual orientation. When it becomes permanent in an individual merges with the transgender.
Transgender is a gender change in relation to sex. That is, transgender people experience the opposite gender to their sex, and generally do not want sex-change, otherwise this makes them transsexuals. \\
Transsexualism is to live in gender basis for the sex which is believed to belong ie express transgender people suffering and a mismatch at the genitals of birth, who can not appreciate. It is essential to underline that the person when operated on and should not be classified as transsexual, but a man or a woman, simply.
It is also important to note that transsexuals are extremely unhappy about sex that they have been assigned to transgender individuals over the years have been invisible and are encased within the group of transvestites gay or lesbian, many transsexuals have undergone a profound marginalization, particularly by the homosexual community, Bisexual and Lesbian. His coming-out process is similar to gay, lesbian and bisexual, and can bring the loss of support from family, friends and employment.
Discrimination against transsexuals is extreme, even greater for women wanting to belong transsexual a group that society has historically discriminated against. The path of the transsexual is long, difficult and tortuous, because no society is yet ready to merge them in his bosom, and trauma. Before the operation, many transgender hate themselves, living constantly with the feeling of being trapped in a body that is not yours. Those who choose sex-change have to fight a widespread misunderstanding.
Another issue is striking is how little that certain groups have made progress in removing the stigma surrounding transsexuals in comparison with other issues in our society were frowned upon, the issue of transsexuality is still regarded as a phenomenon, disorder, an abnormality, disease or perversion. Medicine and psychology play a role in the breakdown or maintenance of this stigma on transsexuality, and more so in our country.
So this is when there are a number of questions such as why transsexualism is still considered as a phenomenon?, What role they play in psychiatry and psychology in the maintenance of stigma towards transsexuals?, What is the relationship between stigma transsexualism hanging over the division of roles according to gender, ie the maintenance of the prototypes of femininity and masculinity force yet?, to whom corresponds the classification of certain terms?, "which is responsible for concept development?, what are argued to develop these concepts?, what factors are taken into account for the classification of groups, etc.? . As you can see the questions are multiple, and the truth is that not only have a favorable response, but can hardly be a reflection to start beating around the bush.
Also, another thing worth rescuing a point of reflection, is that most of our Latin American countries is extremely difficult to understand how some people who have physical characteristics a genre may actually believe they belong to another, and if we add the lack of education and information, will be even more difficult to break this stereotype.
Moreover, the scarcity of economic resources, the difficulty in finding decent and in good condition, almost like prostitution only way out for many, physical and verbal abuse, discrimination, on rights, legal abandonment, and also because they say , looks of contempt for people who still consider transsexuals as "rare bugs," causes more suffering and frustration, and all this means to them A CHALLENGE.
And finally, I would like to make a final call attention to this: the transsexual who unfortunately do not have access to the operation, for various reasons, should not be considered less women and fewer men, and this should be a collective struggle in which all and all work together in breaking stereotypes while contributing to social awareness, is a challenge to create opportunities for further discussion regarding this issue within the community Homosexual, Bisexual, Lesbian and Transgender in our population.
