Definition of being Shemale...

 

The HSAB on 'Shemale': A shemale (also known as a chick-with-dick or a transsexual) is, in clinical terms, a hermaphrodite--someone with the secondary characteristics of both sexes. While a true hermaphrodite has both a male and female reproductive system, "shemale" generally refers to a biological male who has shapely female breasts. The breasts may be implants but more often are the result of hormone injections by a medical doctor. These injections are usually, but not always, a stage of preparation for sexual reassignment surgery (i.e. a sex change operation). For a variety of reasons, both financial and psychological, some transsexuals prefer not to complete the process of transformation but to live as shemales--dressing and acting as women while still retaining their male organs. People (straight, gay and bisexual) find shemales mysterious and exciting; some have a passionate fetish for these exotic creatures.
