Is cynthia a shemale or a tranny? I am guess she is a girl that dresses as a male and not a girl who actually has a male organ, but who knows it is so confusing.

Well, until she gets “the operation” to give her a wee-wee, she is just a shemale (transgender) and not a tranny (transsexual). I had to Google all this to get it, it really is quite complicated.

Checked Wikipedia. Tranny has multiple meanings (LOL)! It can be a transsexual or a transgendered person, someone “transistioning” to the opposite gender or someone who has completed the transformation via operations, hormones, etc. It is an all-purpose term.

In this girl’s case, it is likely that she is a a shemale only because she is still so young. Usually doctors will wait until 21 to begin hormone treatments (testosterone does more to make a woman look like a man than estrogen does to make a man look like a woman). Then if a complete transformation is wanted, the sexual organs are created and any additional cosmetic surgery needed to enhance the effects of the hormones.

OK, I now more about this than I ever thought I needed to.

The think that annoyed me most with this story was she has no plans for surgery or even hormones! She's just some girl who dresses like a bull dyke and wanted to "stick it to the man" like teenagers do.

Big deal.
