Is there a job where a man has to dress as a woman?
- For hundreds of years some men dressed as women. Many comedians today such as: British comedian Barry Humphries as 'Dame Edna Everage'; John Leguizamo (comedian/actor) and Patrick Swayze dressed as women in 'To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Numar'; Martin Lawrence in 'Big Mamma's House'; Dustin Hoffman in 'Tootsie'; Robin Williams in 'Mrs. Doubtfire; and many more. The mode of today in movies; TV series will have men dress as women to get higher ratings (it is funny.) So, there is acting or a comedy act. One can also go into a gay club dressed as a woman. Generally in gay clubs if you just wish to dress as a woman (which does not mean you are gay) and be honest the gay customers are polite enough to leave you alone. It is a place you can enjoy being you. You could work in a gay night club as a waitress or bartender dressed as a female.
Why do people talk over you like you do not exist or that their story is more important?
If it's one person, they are rude. If it's everybody, they are not really your freinds or you are not assertive enough
What is the worst thing you can expect to find from your 8 year old transgender sons things?
Being transgender wont make him any different that way. He's a 8yo with toys I imagine so the worst thing depends on the child, not whether he is transgender or not.
You will get breasts, a vagina and pubic hairs.
The speculation that Ciara was born male or intersexual is purely a rumor. Ciara was born a female and she has spoken about the issue in the past. Also, the rumor that she admitted being born male/hermaphrodite on Oprah are also false. Ciara has never been on Oprah.
Somewhere high like on a hill, because in times when William The Conqueror was king he need it a far a possible so it was hard for the people to rebel on him.
Are you in favor of a transgender man qualifying on the Miss Universe pageant?
No, transgender men should not qualify, but transgender women should certainly qualify.
Note: A transgender man is Female-to-male. A transgender woman is male-to-female.
They could be both.
If you're sixteen, odds are pretty good that you should spend a couple years thinking about it before you DO anything. That's especially true when you're talking about something as fundamental to most people's perception of you as gender--while it's increasingly possible to come out, safely, as gay when you're young, it's not quite so likely that your parents or friends will receive "I want to be a gay man" with perfect equanimity. Think. Read. Think more. Find internet communities where you can connect with people who feel and think similarly.
Livejournal is one site with thriving gay and transgender (that is, females who want to be male-bodied, males who want to be female-bodied, and a whole array of people in between) communities, and it can be a lot easier to talk openly about this stuff with people who aren't sitting right in front of you.
One good resource for thinking through some of this is Kate Bornstein's My Gender Workbook. It's not exactly cheap, but you can find it on Amazon, and it's for sure worthwhile.
If you can connect with a counselor (think secular, not religious, in most cases) who is supportive, they can also be a very good resource.
So... realistically, especially as young as you are, be careful who you tell. But don't feel as if you have to go it alone. You're not the only one of us out there.
And do remember that safe sex is the only way to go if you want to experiment.
Can a man make his breasts look like a woman's breats by wearing a bra?
It helps, make sure to stuff it; and if you are very good with make up, take bronzer and make a Y shape on your chest to give the impression that you have a cleavage. From a distance it should look fine, but the closer a person gets, the less of an effect it will have.
There's a link below of how a woman's cleavage should look.
Yes, shemales do exist as a term that typically refers to transgender women or individuals who possess both male and female physical traits, particularly in certain contexts like adult entertainment. This term is often considered derogatory and reductive, as it can oversimplify the complex identities of transgender individuals. It's essential to approach discussions about gender identity with respect and understanding, acknowledging the diverse experiences and identities within the transgender community.
With great difficulty.
People can come off the hormones, and breast surgery can be reversed. But reconstructing the genitals to good functionality is real difficult, particularly for a male-to-female-to-male situation. Female-to-male is a bit less difficult and may be more successful.
I think many women go through this. I have been married to a wonderful man for 35 years, but it is true that all the sacrifices I do go unseen and unnoticed at times, although once in a blue moon he will buy me flowers or out of the blue tell me how much he appreciates my help. Most of the time men just don't think although I am sure most men really are grateful for what their wives do for them. I've had men talk to me about their wives and how wonderful and supportive they are and I always say, 'Why are you telling me, tell her!' They look shocked, but all agree and they do tell their wives. It isn't out of love that most guys don't say thank you they just never think of it. I also agree with you that often when a man does nice things for you it's at a great effort on their part to do so (the little darlings) so unless you show signs of appreciating any gesture they may make then they can get upset or angry. The bottom line is the fact that women often do more giving towards men than men give in return. The woman becomes angry because she feels let down so without knowing it when he does do something nice for her she will not give him the same satisfaction, but let him have a taste of his own medicine. There is really no perfect balance when it comes to getting praise for giving of oneself so unless you can give without strings, don't give at all! Women can chew gum, talk on the phone, cook a full course meal all at the same timeand men can't! LOL
How easy is it to fool people who know you as a man when your pretending to be a woman?
Depeds if you are really ugly or not.
What is Jennifer Conlin trying to prove about the freedom to choose your pronoun?
She suggests that people questioning the gender roles that society assigns individuals can take advantage of indeterminate choices like "other" (offered by Google) and "indeterminate" (Australian passports).
"It is about rejecting the boxes" people are put in "by assuming their sexual identity labels their personal identity."
Made-up pronouns like "hesh, hirm, ze, hir, hirs" are sometimes to used that suggest both genders.
