How can a girl crossdress?
Asked by Wiki User
To crossdress, a girl can wear clothing typically associated with the male gender, such as button-down shirts, pants, and suits. They may also choose to style their hair and makeup in a more masculine way. It's a personal choice that allows individuals to express their gender identity outside of societal norms.
Will your mom think you're crazy if you tell her that you're a girl in a boy's body?
Asked by Wiki User
She may not understand and she may be disappointed, which is a normal first reaction with parents, and doesn't mean they love you any less. But if you truly believe you are a girl in a boy's body, then you need to talk to her about it. If you feel she won't be receptive to listening, then you may want to discuss it with another family member first, someone whom you feel may be able to help you explain it to your mom.
But before you talk to anyone about it, you first need to research and study it and learn as much about this as possible. Also, depending on your age, it may be best to wait until you are a bit older before talking to your mom, or anyone else, about it.
Don't talk to friends about it yet either, for several reasons. For one, no matter how much you trust your friends, they may not be willing to accept this, at least not at first. Also, they may not honor that confidentiality, which would most likely lead to others teasing you and making your life hell. Lastly, you need to be absolutely positive this is how you feel before talking to them about it. There is always a slight chance that you may be confused right now, and may even change your mind later.
Once you have researched and learned all you can about it, and if you still feel you were born in the wrong body, then you can talk to your mom about this. That is part of the reason you need to research and learn as much about it as possible. The more you educate yourself about this, the better you can help your mom to understand, and the better you can understand it yourself, and be absolutely certain this is how you feel and what you want.
I also strongly suggest you check into counseling and/or support groups in your area, or online support groups, who can help you understand all aspects of the feelings you have about this. It will also help you to realize and know you are not crazy, because you aren't. And you are certainly not alone in this because there are thousands and thousands of others just like you, both male and female who feel they were born in the wrong body, too.
Why can girls crossdress but boys can't?
Asked by Wiki User
Social norms and gender expectations can influence how people view crossdressing. Historically, society has been more accepting of females wearing clothing traditionally associated with males. This double standard can be attributed to gender norms and stereotypes, which dictate what is considered acceptable behavior for each gender.

Is Sandra Bullock transgender?
Asked by Wiki User
Sandra Bullock, 47, several years ago told a reporter she'd never get plastic surgery (It's unclear if that meant no injections, either). She said then: "Absolutely not. I love what I have."
Last year, a Daily Mail reporter wrote: "She seems too sensible to go under the knife, but it seems Sandra Bullock has fallen victim to the beauty industry." The actress was seen "with fuller lips than usual, pouting away as she hid behind her shades." And New York dermatologist Dr. Eric Schweiger told In Touch magazine recently, "Not only does it appear that Sandra has had a Botox brow-lift many times, but she hasn't lost any volume in her face, which makes me believe she's likely had dermal filler in her cheeks and mid-face."

How much do natural female hormones cost a month?
Asked by Nobody099
If you are talking about the various supplements sold on the Internet and elsewhere; they can vary greatly up to several hundred dollars a month with very unproven efficiency. Natural does not mean safe for the body. I can offer you a shovelful of cow dung that is fully natural; would you eat it?
Hormones are best prescribed from a physician who will also track the various levels and the affect on the bodies organs such as the liver and kidneys which can be damaged by inappropriate use of Hormones.
Also, simply taking a female hormone does not necessarily produce results, anti-androgen drugs must also be taken to remove or block the testosterone that exists in the body.
The cost of my prescription anti-androgens and my hormones run me approximately US$180 per month (Jan 2010).

What is the surgical process in Gender Reassignment Surgery?
Asked by Wiki User
Copied from: http://www.lgbthealthchannel.com/transgender/surgery.shtml
Surgery Gender reassignment surgery (GRS; also known as sex reassignment surgery, SRS) is a means of transitioning to a different gender through surgical alteration of the body. Men who are transitioning to female are known as male to female, or MTF, and women who are transitioning to male are known as female to male, or FTM.
FTM (Female to Male) Surgery
Elective bilateral mastectomy (FTM), the removal or reduction of the breasts (also called reduction mammoplasty, or "top surgery"), involves making a small incision near the nipple and removing most of the tissue and fat from under the skin. This results in a chest shape that appears more masculine. Some people also choose to have skin grafted from the existing nipple to create a new male-like nipple.
and either
Metoidioplasty (FTM) is the creation of a penis by extending the clitoris that has been significantly enlarged by testosterone hormone use. The skin around the clitoris is removed so that the clitoris can extend from the pubic region and appear as a penis. The resulting penis is smaller than the average size of an adult male penis and its use in sexual intercourse is limited. Some people also have the urethra lengthened, which makes it possible to urinate while standing. This requires removal of the vagina. The fat of the pubic area is typically removed and the skin pulled tighter around the area, creating a more male-like appearance. The vaginal opening is closed and the skin of the vaginal labia (lips) is used to create a scrotum. Inflatable expanders are placed in the scrotum either during or after surgery in order to expand the skin of the newly created scrotum. Once expanded, the scrotum can accommodate testicle implants.
or
Phalloplasty involves constructing a penis from the inner forearm skin (nondominant side) and vaginal tissue and attaching it to the vaginal area. This is also known as a free flap phalloplasty. The forearm skin is grafted along with its nerves, arteries, and veins and formed around a plastic catheter tube, which will serve as the urethra and allow for urination once connected to the female urethra. The forearm skin is used to create the shaft, glans (head), and urethra. The nerves of the clitoris are attached to the grafted nerves and will grow into the penis after surgery. The skin and tissue of the vaginal labia is used to create a scrotum. The procedure may take 3 hours or more. After 6 to 9 months of healthy recovery, cosmetic testicle implants can be inserted in the scrotum. Erectile implants, those used in men with impotence (erectile dysfunction), can be added to achieve erection in the new penis.
Hardening of the urinary tract and tissue death in the new penis are complications of phalloplasty.

MTF (Male to Female) Surgery * Elective bilateral orchiectomy (MTF), the removal of both testicles, is done through an incision in the scrotum. After each testicle is pulled from the scrotum, its spermatic cord is clamped, double sutured to control bleeding, and cut, releasing the testicle. The end of the cord is then placed back in the body. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthetic, depending on the patient. Transitioning MTFs undergo orchiectomy because it significantly reduces testosterone production. The reduction of testosterone may allow a person with a male body to transition to a woman and to take less estrogen. * Tracheal shave involves surgically reducing the tracheal cartilage (the Adam's apple). A small incision is made at the front of the throat and the cartilage is carved until it is flat. This results in a throat contour that is flatter and more feminine in appearance. The procedure is done on an outpatient basis with local anesthetic. Although uncommon, there is a risk of shaving too much cartilage and affecting the vocal chords that lie just behind the trachea. This may permanently affect the voice. * Vaginoplasty, the surgical construction of a vagina through skin inversion, involves removing the organs and erectile tissue of the penis. The skin and tissue is used to create a vaginal opening, clitoris, clitoral hood, and labia (lips). The urethra is kept for urination and the skin and nerves of the glans (head) of the penis can be salvaged for sensitivity. The procedure takes several hours and is done under general anesthesia. After surgery, the patient must progressively stretch the vaginal opening. This is done with plastic dilation molds, which are supplied by a medical care team. There is a risk for the rectum or urethra to join with the newly created vaginal canal. Although rare, these complications can result in gas, feces, and urine in the vagina. Other complications include hardening of the urethra and death of the vaginal tissue. About 80% of sex reassignment patients are satisfied with their results.
What would happen if men takes estrogen?
Asked by Wiki User
Quick Overview of Estrogens and Testosterones:
Estrogens are a type of steroid hormones produced by both men and women. They are the conterpart of the hormone 'testosterone' which is also present in both men and women. Estrogen hormones and testerone hormones are both sex hormones, that is they affect cells of the human body in such a way that gives each of us the characteristics of a man or a woman.
Testosterone stimulates growth of muscle mass, growth of hair (especially facial and pubic), deepens the voice, and stimulates the growth of the penis and testies in children. Men generally have around fourth to sixty times more testosterone than women do.
Estrogen stimulates the cease of vertical growth, decreases the growth of muscle mass, stimulates growth of breasts, heightens voice, etc.
A balance of both these hormones, as well as all other hormones, is necessary not only for sex related reasons but also for overall health and well-being of body and mind. These two hormones "cancel" each other out so to speak. The body produces estrogen to reverse the effects of too much testosterone and vice versa.
To More Specifically Answer Your Question:
A man who takes estrogen supplementation would experience some or all, but not limited to the following:
-Increased breast size and darker nipple color, and loss or slowed growth of body hair.
-Higher voice, reduction of "Adam's apple", decrease in muscle mass, and generally more feminine type features.
-Decreased facial hair growth, slowed alopecia (balding or hair loss).
-Decrease in testicle size (not penis size)
-Decreased aggression and sex drive.
-Changes in personality - this is the most unpredictable of side-effects. Everyone is effected mentally in different ways. Sex hormones play a big role in mood and personality.
Very simply - a man who takes estrogen would gain more feminine features and lose some of his manly features. For the most part, testosterone is what makes men men and estrogen is what makes women women.
