Can a female to male transgender have a penis?

Yes, it is. I do not know any FtM's personally, but i have heard that the surgeries for FtM is less realistic than those for MtF.

As with MtF's, FtM's are reccomended to see a phycologist, to get a reccomendation, to give an endocrinologist for hormones.

As for the surgeries for FtM's they are:

Mastectomy - Removal of the breast

Hysterectomy - removal of the uterus

Phalloplasty - The surgery to create a penis (usually from the enlarged clitoris caused by the male hormones)

What step should a female take in becoming a transgender?

There is no exact timeline. Some transmen transition socially without hormones or surgery. Those transitioning medically may choose to have top surgery and not do hormones, or choose to do hormones and not have surgery. In some states it is possible to change gender markers on your id with a doctor's letter. To change federal id you must have a surgeon's letter. Bottom surgeries include hysterectomy, phalloplasy, and meditioplasty. There are several resources online for transmen looking to medically or socially transition.

A transgender male pre-operation is legally considered what gender?

==I'm pretty sure the person is still legally a man, especially if they aren't taking hormones or something.== This depends on several factors. I think the most important thing, is that there IS no consistent "legal definition" of sex or gender, in almost any jurisdiction. The primary things that are associated with this are: 1. Primary legal id. In the USA this is a drivers license or non-drvers have an identity card. In the UK, this is the birth certificate. 2. Local jursidction specifics A. in California , the drivers license can be updated with a "DMV" form, if the person has a letter from their doctor. B. in almost every state of the USA, this can be changed w/ a "Court Ordered Name change". This also differs a lot depending on the specific judge you might deal with. C. Federal versus state regulations. In the USA, this is mainly the social security record. So, a more specific question that can be answered is: Is it possible for a pre-op trans-girl to get her Driver's license and Social security records changed from M to F. Possible? yes Easy,no The usual ways involve getting a orchiectomy(castration) getting a court ordered name change, and being very believable and convincing when dealing with specific clerks. I have had one friend tell me that when SHE did it all she just pretended it was all a little typo, and could they fix that up please. At the opposite end. A born woman in south africa, DID get her legal id done with a typo, and tried to get that fixed and was told that she would have to have a official letter from her sex change surgeon. Crazy huh? So,the big deal, is that it is very inconsistent from one jurisdiction to the next.

Can son wear his sisters clothes and pretend to be a girl?

* As disappointing and perhaps disturbing this may be for you realize this could be a phase. Many young children (ages five to twelve) will try on their sister's clothing simply out of curiosity. This does not mean your son his transsexual. If your son is 10 years or older sit down and communicate with him. Ask him right out why he prefers to wear his sister's clothing. It may be curiosity, but if he feels better dressing as a girl then get him psychological counseling to be sure he prefers being a girl and it's just a phase he is going through. It is most important, that should your son turn out to favor being a female that both parents don't reject who he is and accept him for what he is. Never mind gossip mongers and in today's society being a cross dresser or even being gay is not as frowned upon as it once was. Scientists believe they have isolated a gene that they feel dictates a gay person being trapped in their own body. Don't hit the panic button yet if your son hasn't hit puberty yet. Just so you will understand .. my brother who was nine at the time liked to wear my 1950's skirts with the crinoline underneath and twirl in it. He is now 64 years old and happily married with two grown sons.

How can a man get a womanly figure?

If you have the diagnosis of transsexualism after a minimum of 3 months of investigation and therapy, you would see an endocrinologist to get hormones. Besides that, you can do the following:

  • shave your legs
  • shave your armpits
  • shave facial hair
  • maybe wear a corset
  • get curves
  • get breast enlargement surgery
  • wear a long wig
  • wear makeup

What is a female with a penis?

A girl with a penis is called...her name.

You may be referring to a transgender person: a trans woman who has a penis. You may be referring to an intersex person: a female born with a penis.

What is the best testosterone pill for a transgender male?

Because of the way the body metabolizes testosterone, there is no effective pill form. The hormone is usually administered as in intramuscular injection. It can also be prescribed in patch form, similar to nicotine patches.

Why do some men want to be women?

Why Do Men Wear Dresses? (And Why Do Some Women Get So Upset About It?) Few activities seem to attract more venom and contempt than crossdressing. One newspaper writer who found out that her ex-husband was a crossdresser described him as a `pervert' and dumped a pile of her own old clothes on his mother's doorstep to make her point. What inspires this level of anger among so many women? Fear, I suppose. But fear of what? Fear of the competition for the underwear drawer? Fear that he might be gay? Fear that he'll stretch everything and ruin her tights? Fear that the neighbours will find out? Dressing up in the sort of clothes usually worn by women is one of the most harmless activities imaginable and yet it is also one of the most socially misunderstood. Lots of men dress up - as freemasons, soldiers or special constables - and transvestism is just a fun variation on the dressing up theme but our society has developed in such a way that what we choose to wear does, to a very large extent, define what we are, who we are and what others think of us. The judge wears a gown and a wig. The priest wears a gown. The bishop wears a particularly fine gown. Kings wear robes and crowns. Hotel porters, car park attendants, railway staff, airline stewardesses and people in a thousand other different types of employment wear clothes that help identify them. Plumbers wear overalls. Doctors wear white coats. Nurses wear uniforms. As our society becomes more and more complex so the uniforms become increasingly important. We define people by whether they have `white collar' or `blue collar' jobs. Men who crossdress are throwing an enormous spanner into the works of this finely balanced piece of social machinery. It is, perhaps, hardly surprising that crossdressing produces so much confusion, bewilderment and resentment and so many pejorative remarks. Despite the popularity of transvestism hardly anything is known about this `hobby' - other than the fact that a lot of men do it. (Lots of women crossdress too but transvestism among women is socially accepted. Millions of women regularly wear trousers and suits.). The idea of men in clothes usually worn by women may sound like a joke. But it isn't. Putting on female clothes is, for thousands of men, the best way to deal with stress and escape from the responsibilities of being a man. `If I didn't crossdress,' one man told me, `I'd be dead. I had high blood pressure which pills couldn't control. Wearing feminine clothing brought my blood pressure under control.' Precise figures are difficult to obtain but my research shows that in an average week 100,000 in every 1,000,000 men dress - for some of the time - in something soft, silky or frilly. Often they just wear a camisole and panties underneath their male clothes. Most crossdressers live in constant fear of being found out. Around a quarter of male transvestites have never dared share their secret with their wives. That means that around the world millions of women are married to transvestites - and don't know it. In every million women there will be around 25,000 who are unknowingly married to (or living with) transvestites. Transvestism crosses all social and professional barriers. Your best friend, your golf partner, your doctor, your boss or your husband could be a secret transvestite. The chances are high that someone you know well is a crossdresser. Here are some facts I uncovered in a survey of 1014 British transvestites: (It is, I think, the biggest ever survey of crossdressers.)

* Well over three quarters of all transvestites regularly wear the sort of underwear worn by women under their male clothing. Many of the rest would do so if they weren't frightened of being found out by wives.

* Less than half of all transvestites go out of their homes fully dressed as women and most of these are honest enough to admit that they don't fool anyone. But for most this isn't important. They want to dress in the sort of clothes worn by women - not become women.

* Transvestism must be one of the most harmless hobbies. And yet nearly three quarters of male transvestites admit that they live in constant fear of being found out by prejudiced relatives, neighbours or employers. One man who wrote to me to help with my survey drove to a nearby town to post his anonymous letter. Many say they don't understand why women can wear male clothing - but men can't wear female clothes.

* Some wives are scornful and dismissive. Others are patronising and refuse to try and understand. Time and time again I have read pitiful letters from transvestites whose wives `allow' them to dress for one hour a week - as long as they do it in secret.

* Three quarters of all transvestites' partners know that the man in their lives dress in women's clothing. But a quarter of partners do not know.

* There is good reason for the secrecy since most wives or girlfriends who know about their partner's cross dressing disapprove. They miss a lot of fun by being so selfish, narrow minded and disapproving.

* Happily, just over a third of wives and girlfriends actively help their men dress as women by helping with make up and clothes. Many women admit they get a sexual turn on from seeing their male partner in silky, feminine clothes. It is common for transvestites whose partners do approve to have sex while dressed as a woman.

* The vast majority of transvestites are heterosexual.

* The average transvestite spends 12 hours a week dressed as a woman - but would like to spend 70 hours a week (rather more than half the `waking' week) dressed in feminine clothes.

* A growing number of men have discovered that putting on stockings and a frock is the quickest way to escape from the stressful responsibilities of being a man. I have little doubt that more men would live longer if transvestism was more widely accepted. I believe that transvestism is one of the least harmful of all hobbies and one that no man should feel ashamed of. It is, I believe, a perfectly acceptable way for any man to escape from the day to day stresses of being a man in a stressful world. It's fun and clearly gives a lot of men a great deal of pleasure and it is difficult to think of any activity which is less likely to do harm to anyone. Men who dress in womens' clothes bring out a normal, healthy part of their own femininity, broaden their outlook on life and enjoy a temporary respite from the responsibilities and demands of being male. I'm always sad to read of the number of women who do not accept their husband's crossdressing. Time after time I have opened letters from men whose wives have treated them horrendously badly. I think it is appalling that any woman should have the nerve to say to her partner: `Oh, well if you must then I suppose you must - but you can only do it for an hour a week and you must make sure that the curtains are drawn and that I'm well out of the house and by the way I don't want to see any sign of your silly women's clothing and so on when I get back.' No woman would, I hope, dare say anything like this to a man who took up golf or model making. I think it is sad that transvestism should be regarded as so much more horrendous than anything else - though I believe that deep seated and completely false prejudices are probably at the root of it all. Many women probably assume that most transvestites are either homosexual or else candidates for sex change surgery. But, on the whole, there is a huge difference between transvestites and transsexuals. Transsexuals are like golfers - they lose their balls. Transvestites are keen to keep theirs. My survey has made it absolutely clear that the vast majority of transvestites are heterosexual and happy to be men. (Curiously, crossdressing is so misunderstood and commonly reviled that some women would doubtless prefer it if they found out that their husband was gay or wanted to change sex.) The full results of my survey into crossdressing appear in my book `Men in Dresses' which appears in full on this website.

How many trans gender people worldwide?

Only falling under the general term of transsexual.

The DSM1 IV estimates 1 in 30 thousand males are transgendered and 1 in 100 thousand females have identified themselves as having very strong trans feelings. {Definition of Transgender being born one physical sex, but their actual sex is different. Does not account for crossdressers2, gender benders3, people who are blends4, intersexed5, duo-genders6 or others also called gender queer7.}

Lynn Conway, a well known activist for transsexuals, estimates that 1 in 1,000 males has had GRS8 or SRS9. {in the US} If this is correct then there would be about 500,000 transgendered males in the US who have had SRS/GRS.

== == == == Using Transgendered as Generic

No one knows the actual number: it's not printed on people's foreheads. Using the broad term transgendered as anyone not conforming to generic society's binary set of genders and gender roles, many people are 'closeted' and so can't be counted, many don't even realize that they actually are transgendered and not crazy, but this would include genderbenders, dual-genders, crossdressers/transvestites, intersexed, blends and gender queer persons:

If 1 in 1,000 is a transsexual who has had surgery, at least another 1 in 1,000 hasn't had the surgery but is in some way or another transgendered. Using the above calculation, 1,000,000 (1 million) men in the U.S. are transgendered, making it 1 in 500. If this applies worldwide (broad assumption) then 14,000,000 (14 million) men worldwide are transgendered - not including women. Using the DSM IV's estimate of 3 : 1 (transsexuals) then 14,000,000 men and 4,666,000 women for a total guesstimate of at least 18,666,000 transgendered persons worldwide. # DSM = Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; a book commonly used by psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers in helping clients.

# Crossdressers/Transvestites: persons (most often males) who choose to dress and appear as a person of the opposite sex. This may or may not have anything to do with sex; each person is different here.

# Gender Benders: people who dress in the clothing of both sexes with no intent of looking like either sex specifically; they just like how it looks on them or how it feels. A girl wearing a double breasted suit is often gender-bending: looking for notoriety.

# Gender Blenders: much like gender benders, but usually keep it low key to avoid conflict with public. A boy wearing plain girl jeans would be blending.

# Intersexed: a person whose sexual organs are ambiguous from birth or has aspects of both sexes. This is a physical condition.

# Duo-Gendered: persons who believe they have aspects of both genders and will show different aspects of their gender based on internals states.

# Gender Queer: anyone not fitting into the above gender classes but do not consider themselves to be part of the absolute "binary gender" group.

# GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery): Physical surgery to make the genitals of a person appear and work similar to the genitals of the opposite sex. This is far more advanced in 'converting' a male to a female as opposed to the opposite: removing is far easier than adding when it comes to human body.

# SRS (Sexual Reassignment Surgery): An alternative wording for GRS. They are the same thing, SRS is the older less used name.

What does gender identity mean?

Gender identity is the deep and prevailing sense about who you are, as to whether you are a man/boy or a woman/girl. It stems from the most basic parts of who you are inside, and it has nothing to do with choice or what genitals you have.

It is gender identity which drives people to take hormones and alter their genitalia with surgery. They don't transition to become the "other sex," but because at a certain level, they are already that "other sex." They need to be treated by others in a way consistent with who they have always been inside. The need to transition has nothing to do with libido nor any sexual urges. A good number of transsexual persons are of the asexual orientation. That is ironic when the sex industry spreads the notion that people with transsexualism are promiscuous, when they have a similar or lower sex drive as that of the identified gender.

How do i tell my parents I am transgender?

I know this is difficult for you, but you shouldn't be keeping this a secret from your wife. It's better to sit down alone with her and express why you prefer to dress up as a woman. Many men dress in women's clothing and are not gay, so clear that up immediately. This is between the two of you and she may accept it or ask you to go for help for what she considers a problem you have. If I were you, I would go and seek psychiatric help just out of curiosity as to why you prefer to dress in women's clothing. If you do it in the privacy of your home and your wife accepts this, then it's OK, but you certainly can't dress as a woman and go out with your wife. There would be a lot of explaining to do and I don't think your wife is up to it. Please talk to your wife. She may have some suspicions, or she may be totally surprised, but if you tell her it's a big load off your shoulders and both of you can come to some agreement as to what to do about it. Good luck Marcy The secret is worse than the act. Tell her honestly. It will be hard. She will need time to think about it. There is a good chance she will be accepting and supportive. The longer the secret is kept, the harder it is to tell.

Are you gay if you want a transgender?

If your partner is a female-to-male (F2M) transexual, simply put, NO! Your partner would identify as male so you would still be straight. Some F2Ms, if not all of them would find it offensive if there partner still classed them as female.

How can a guy wear girls clothing?

Well, first you put the bra on by hooking it ariund the back then you put the shirt on and the short, short, short, shorts then you soend the next half hour choosing shoes finally coming to the conclusion of buying a new pair. You now spend another half hour forcing them onto your feet. Now you apply massacre lipstickblush and an ott amount of fake tan. Then you repeat evrything a couple of times to get the perfect look. Now you wonder why you just read this entire waste of time

Are transsexual really women?

Transgender women are real in terms of them existing. If one is asking about whether they are genuine women or not is up to personal interpretation. Some would consider them as being on par with non-transgender (cisgender) women, while others would consider them valid members of their own separate gender. Then of course there are people who do not think positively about transgender women.

Can a transgender woman reproduce?

It depends. The term "transgender female" is ambiguous. If you mean a transgendered person keeping their original parts, then they will be fertile as long as they are not taking hormones and have no medical or physical problems.

If you mean an actual transsexual woman, then she will never be able to reproduce as a female, and after her genital correction surgery, she won't be able to father a child either. If she was born intersexed, that is a different matter, and she might be able to reproduce as a female if those parts are functional and intact.

Where is the hottest shemales?

If you're referring to MtF trans* women, the popular destination people are aware of whereupon trans women are treated as a spectacle is Thailand. In reality? Everywhere. Your neighbour, your shop keeper, your colleague. You never know (and nor should you, to be fair).

Why do guys like shemales?

Why not shemales are better then women. They are from both worlds. Shemales have big fake boobs and big nice shemale penis. Every man wants to have anal sex with his girl friend right and girls friends dont want it in the bum all the time but shemales do!! So can you see why shemale are the best!

Some men can't admit even to themselves they have homosexual inclinations, and choose these people as a viable alternative.

i think its because they wanna try both ways the wanna see how it feels and see which they like best.

What is the proper name for a lesbian gay or transgender?

Gays and lesbians are fine. Women can also be called gay.

Queer is not acceptable by everyone. Although some people prefer it, there are just as many that do not. If you don't know how a person feels about the word "queer", then gay and lesbian are best because they are universally acceptable.

"Homosexual" is outdated, and usually used mainly by people who oppose gay rights.

Is it possible to be born a transvestite?

It's not only possible, it is how most transvestites find themselves: having issues as 3 and 4 years old, way before any real ideas of sex, sex roles and orientation start. A few transvestites find out later in life they are TVs, most often these are fetish oriented but a few just never thought about it. it seems about 3 to 4 years old is where society in general starts assigning gender (roles not sex) and that's where the issues start.

Can guys have vaginas?

A person might be born with a vagina and designated female at birth, but later in life not identify as a girl and might transition (via testosterone therapy and/or sex-reassignment surgery) to living as a man. So, yes, guys can have vaginas.

Also, there are men who were born with male or ambiguous genitalia and who choose to get sex-reassignment surgery and continue living as men. Some mistakenly transition, while others deliberately get the surgery with the intention of living fully as men. In the latter case, such men refer to the neo-vagina as an "inverted penis" or a "mangina," a term coined by a guy who mistakenly transitioned to female with surgery. There are probably no links about this which are suitable for this site, but anyone can search to discover more.

How can a boy change his genitalia to a girl's?

Physically no you wouldn't be able to become a female with out surgery done, unless you want to event some drug or something that would change you to the opposite gender like they have in some futuristic type of scenario within movies and books and so on, but other wise no.

How do you identify a transgender woman?

Answer

well if she trusts you with that info she will either tell you,, or sleep with her and find out the hard way get hard way jk but seriously in the end it really isn't your business if she was, unless she feels you have a rite to know even then i feel it is up to the person, my advise look for an Adam's apple or the structure of the woman, some are not as passive as some.

Answer:

1) Some of the surgeons have gotten so good at the GRS surgery that even a gynecologist can't tell the difference without a sonogram; a guy isn't gonna know from looking at it or sleeping with her (how often do the guys you know spend more than one sec on how it looks it's just "put it in!!!!!")

2) There is a surgery to shave the Adam's apple: if they don't have one it doesn't mean they weren't born with one.

3) Why do you wanna know? Unless you have gotten romantically involved, it's none of your business: do you go around announcing the size, color and past events of your parts to strangers? If you do, stay away from me. If you are in a relationship and think she used to be something different, ask! If you don't trust the answer, then leave, go away.
