DEFINATION OF IDENTITY CRISIS

hello!im farhana...i want to share some meaning about identity crisis that we discuss about.

TIME WELLNESS.COM-
a disorientation concerning one's sense of self, values, and role in society, often of acute onset and related to a particular and significant event in one's life

WORDNET-distress and disorientation (especially in adolescence) resulting from conflicting pressures and uncertainty about one's self and one's role in society

WIKIPEDIA-The identity is "a subjective sense as well as an observable quality of personal sameness and continuity, paired with some belief in the sameness and continuity of some shared world image. As a quality of unself-conscious living, this can be gloriously obvious in a young person who has found himself as he has found his communality. In him we see emerge a unique unification of what is irreversibly given--that is, body type and temperament, giftedness and vulnerability, infantile models and acquired ideals--with the open choices provided in available roles, occupational possibilities, values offered, mentors met, friendships made, and first sexual encounters." (Erikson, 1970.)
According to Erikson's stages, the onset of the identity crisis is in the teenage years, and only individuals who succeed in resolving the crisis will be ready to face future challenges in life. But the identity crisis may well be recurring, as the changing world demands us to constantly redefine ourselves. Erikson suggested that people experience an identity crisis when they lose "a sense of personal sameness and historical continuity". Given today's rapid development in technology, global economy, dynamics in local and world politics, one might expect identity crises to recur more commonly now than even thirty years ago, when Erikson formed his theory

hi..i'm ain.. i want to give my opinion about the definition of transgender. transgender is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender identity (sense of themselves as male or female) or gender expression differs from that usually associated with their birth sex. many transgender people live part-time or full-time as members of the other gender. broadly speaking, anyone whose identity, appearance, or behaviour falls outside of conventional gender norms can be describe as transgender. however, not everyone whose appearance or behaviour is gender-atypical will identify as a transgender person.

hello.im farhana.

ok...i want to share some spesific term about aour topic here..let me tell u guys...
transgender is the person who tend to be a opposite sex and they usually doing operation to change their sex.
but the meaning of transexual is the person who usually wear an opposites clothes.such as male wear dress or skirt.but unlike transgender,transexual not doing the operation to change their sex.
meanwhile,transvestites that dilla was talking about just not is 'pondan'/'mak nyah'.
yes,according to reasearch..malay take the higher percentange (70%) who tend to change their sex compared indian,chenese and others.its a shame for me as a malay..but the truth i have to admit is in malaysia,malay is the racial majority compared to other race..so,no wonder when the research comes out,malay taken over the place-higher percentage of transexual isue.

hello. i am fadila.. yes,
in my first opinion about this, i was talk about transexual or we call 'maknyah" ..transexual have are different meaning campared 2 transgender..like da farhana said, transexual not doing operation to change their sex.

today, i was found are information about transgender.

Transgender is the state of one's "gender identity" (self-identification as woman, man, or neither) not matching one's "assigned sex" (identification by others as male or female based on physical/genetic sex). "Transgender" does not imply any specific form of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, or asexual; some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them. The precise definition for transgender remains in flux, but includes:

• "Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these."

• "People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves."

• "Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex (and assumed gender) one was assigned at birth."

so..
