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
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 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.
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.
Cuz birdseed makes a terrible mess when your fake boobs break? A form (often silicone) tends to act more realistic than tissues or marshmallows or anything else; they bounce, sag, swing, stretch, return heat back the body. And they are hilarious when a genetic woman bumps into your boobs and freaks because it feels real.... happily a minute later they usually start laughing too. And why wear anything? Wouldn't you wear something if you lost your flesh boobs? Lots of women who have had breast cancer and mastectomies have bought forms to help them feel more whole, more feminine; same game here.
Can a transgender or transsexual woman give birth to a child?
No, a transgender woman cannot get pregnant because she does not have a uterus, even after surgery. This may change one day in the future.
Because I am one, I think they are fantastic! :)
A transgendered person is just that, a person. Some are wonderful. Some are not. They are just like non-transgendered persons except they have different concepts of their gender than the average persons. There are snotty, selfish people who are transgendered and there are wonderful giving and loving transgendered people: transgendered doesn't make you non-human or a different species. It just means that your perceptions of sex, gender and orientation are different the the 'common man' on the street.
Can a Transgender woman produce a child?
Yes, as long as no surgery has been done. Females have ovaries, fallopian tubes, female genitals and a womb. Males have prostate, and male genitals. Transwomen can still father children, and Trans Men can still get pregnant.
But, if you were born male and have surgery to become a female your surgery doesn't yet include giving ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a womb.
Answer:
It's a mixed bag: depending on your definition of transgender, whether you consider pre or post surgery, and whether you are including upcoming technologies. As of right now, a transgendered person who is post surgery cannot give birth. In the near future, transplants and organ generation will get good enough to allow a postoperative transgender person to procreate as their chosen sex. Therefore in the future it WILL include ovaries, fallopian tubes and a uterus.
yes.majority of them do have balls.but some choose to remove them to achieve more feminine characteristics.(balls produce male hormones inside the blood which are responsible for many male characteristics like body hair,muscularity,and male attitudes in general).
How do you turn from a boy to a girl and wear girls clothes?
Well if you have a sister, go in to her closet and pick out some outfits that you think you would look good in. Use socks to make an estimate of your desired breast size. Once you have found some good outfits, go to asurgeon and get pair of your desired breast size. Then begin to shave your legs. Have a wig ready or get a hair transplant to get your desired hair choice. Now comes the fun part. Start going to different stores to look for girl clothes. You will also have to stop hanging out with as many boy friends as you may already have. So look around for some cute girls to hang out with. You will need a new name too. Now that you have chosen some casual clothes and you have breasts, go to bra shop and get fitted. You will need some sexy clothes. Now you have clothes you need shoes. Now I know you are hesitant but if you want to be a girl this is a price you must pay. Now you must look like a complete girl except your jewelry and makeup. Now go to a make up and jewelry artist and ask for a recommendation After that you should blend right in except for your voice. Work on that and your walk.
A transvestite girl will dress in boys clothing. She may even enjoy acting as a boy would. Transvestites usually dress in the opposite sexes clothing in the privacy of their homes. It is an obsession that they have and is harmless transition if they are single.
What if you think you might be transgender but you don't want to be?
First of all ... don't panic. If you are gay, it's all right. About 2-3 per cent of humans are primarily or exclusively homosexually oriented. It's something we're born with.
You didn't say how old you are, but most of us know we're gay by about age 12. However, you may also be bisexual -- sexually attracted to both males and females. Actually, this is more common than exclusive homosexuality. Again, no panic!
You need to know that you can't be "cured" of homosexuality, despite what you may hear or read. Anyone who claims they can cure you is dangerous! There is nothing that needs "curing." But a counselor can help you understand what's going on and get comfortable with it. I promise that this will all make a lot more sense in a year or so! Hang in there.
Yes. Most people are born with a gender identity programmed into their brain that matches the body they were body into whereas transgender people are not. This gender identity-body mismatch leads to a life of pain and misery because their body feels profoundly wrong and nobody ever sees them as the gender they truly are. When a transgender person transitions they are affirming their inborn gender identity, not changing it.
