All These Abbreviations Make My Head Hurt


Recommended Posts

Ok I've heard quite a few folks around here use a whole bunch of acronyms I've never heard. Mostly I think it comes from out transgendered folks or it might also be folks from across the pond in England to. If anyone with some time can think of all the crazy acronyms and make me a list that would be great. I'll try to search back through and get specifics but can't promise anything. Here's a few.

GRC -

TBF -

T-boy = FTM TS (boy in a girl's body)

Transwoman (or trans-girl) = MTF TS

God damn that was funny.

I do have a seriours question though: what is a Gender Recognition Certificate? Is it an offical document from the state that recognizes your gender change? Do you have to have surgery to get one? Do all states have to issue them?

I am not trans gendered but intolerance (esp within the community) just aggravates me to no end. I believe alot of intolerance is caused from ignorance so I like to educate myself :)

That being said I love your cheerleader pic protection, i think it is super cute :D

It's an English thing contained within the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

You have to live post op in your current gender for 2 years to be able to get a GRC. with that being obtained, you can get everything fully switched over. You also need to convince a panel of 'experts' that post surgery you intend to stay that way *rolls eyes*

As far as the UK system goes, I reckon I wont be able to make an application until about 24.

I don't know much, but I do know my law.

Interesting. I wonder if we have anything like that here across the pond. I would think so but with all the hype we have had over the same sex marriage issue as of late it does make me question.

IMHO (in my honest opinion), TLAs (two/three letter abreviations / acronyms) and their use is defeatist.

I will explain. The art of communication is to pass information. Since an acronym / abreviation is usually trade/area/gender/dialect specific, the usage of abreviations/acronyms tend to reduce the audience. Mathematicaly, if one uses enough abreviations/acronyms, no one, expect the presenter / speaker will be able to understand the information - which in itself, fails the basic art of communiction = to communicate.

From my experience, I tend NOT to trust /listen to people who insist on using same. It is as if the people are trying to hide specific information.

I think it depends on your target audience. For examle I were to type ABDL almost certainly the vast majority of people here know what I mean and it saves alot of typing

No, and we don't want it either. As far as the feds are concerned you bring in proof of reassignment (in our case medical records from surgeon and Psychiatrist) and they change gender on your passport. For social security you just need a certified copy of name change from a court. Drivers licenses vary by state. Think about this for a minute. You have to spend hours with a therapist to get a letter for a doctor to prescribe hormones, spend thousands of dollars out of pocket for hair removal, live and work in your new gender for at least 1 year, get a letter from a Psychiatrist to get a surgeon to perform the surgery (usually cash out of pocket currently $18,000 in CO) and then a panel gets the opportunity to turn you down for the change in your records? Thank God I don't live in England.

Hugs,

Thank you for proving my point. This forum, and most ABDLs understand the acronom ABDL, but if I used that within a group of medical personal, ABDL or ABD refers to abdominal.

Therefore, ambiquity, error and misinformation exists, and clarity is lost.
