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.
It's very rare for a male to want female breasts unless that person is undergoing gender reassignment. As this desire is very rare it accordingly follows that most people would not regard it as normal, so inevitably it follows that not being regarded as normal means that it's regarded as abnormal.
Rare does not mean unique though and males wanting female breasts is a recognised phenomenon in the field of breast enhancement. There is even an internet forum for such people to get together, although male to female transsexuals are also welcome there and it basically acts as a support group for any biological male wanting in any circumstances to have female breasts.
Most cosmetic surgeons would not perform breast augmentation surgery on a biological male unless it was part of that person's process of gender reassignment. The reason for this is that the surgeon could not be sure that breast augmentation was the appropriate course of action in such a case and is likely to believe that the patient would be better served by seeking psychological help.
There is a guy by the name of Brian Zembic that got breast implants to win a $100,000 bet. After the surgery, Jimmy Kimmel even paid him to show his breast on television.
MANY BOYS AND YOUNG MEN enjoy dressing in girls or women's clothing. Some just like to experiment and like the way it feels, others develop a "fetish" for crossdressing, meaning they do it more often and it is arousing and brings some degree of sexual pleasure. If you are an average boy with other healthy interests, I wouldn't worry about it. It becomes a problem when you obsess about it, take little interest in other things and constantly think about it. It may be a phase you are going through, or you may like crossdressing so that you will live your life as a transvestite (a man who dresses as a woman all the time). Only you and time will tell. For now, I wouldn't worry about it. When you want to dress likes a girl, do it in PRIVATE, as you stated that you wouldn't want others to find out. It is something PERSONEL..But REMEMBER, if you choose to go out in public, you run the risk of someone finding out and you could be very embarrassed. Many people think that crossdressers or "gay" or "perverts". That is not true. Most are heterosexual. Many, many happily married men enjoy crossdressing. Recently, a high ranking school official was dressed as a woman and was stopped for speeding by the police. It was leaked to the media, and he was so embarrassed he quit his job and was suicidal. So if YOU value your privacy, keep it private. (P.S. It is also a problem if you are stealing girls panties and other clothes). That's not nice, or appropriate. <<>>
ANSWER:
I agree with the above answer but add one very important aspect..that is if you do get aroused, be very careful. It is very very and I mean very addicting. For me it began age 6 at age 17 the more I dress the more I want to dress and now at 22 to the point that now that is all I do is dress like a female and yes I am constantly aroused under my panties and skirts. I no longer own male clothing (thank goodness my girlfriend loves me to dress as a girl as well) and live as a female, work as a female and began hormones. I do not wan to have a sex change, are you kidding that is the pleasure point. I bring 6 to 8 pairs of panties with me to work everyday because I spend hours thinking about the silky panties I am wearing or the satin half slip my thigh high stockings my heels and my makeup and lipstick. So sounds like a great life right-wrong-I am completely addicted to the soft silky feeling of nylon, silk, satin and I need yes need to wear it 24/7. I even wear thigh highs to bed with my panties and long nylon gown. Be careful..my advice is to put the panties away and get a girlfriend.

100% of the men who have been interested in me are straight acting. I've never been with anyone who was flamboyantly gay acting. They've all reported to me as straight men.
What or how a male become imponent?
Again I guess by impotence you mean erectile dysfunction?
There's many potential causes of erectile dysfunction, and of course the best treatment depends on the underlying cause (ED drugs like viagra are great for dealing with the symptoms temporarily but won't help the underlying cause).
If you suspect psychological causes may be at root, try to naturally reduce stress and anxiety in your life, work on work-life balance and get some good relaxation and recreation time each week. Even consider seeing a counselor or psychologist if you think that it may help.
As far as physical causes go, there's a fair few ways men can become impotent. Of course natural aging and lowered testosterone levels are a biggie. Here you could try patches, hormone replacement therapy, or some good health shop supplements that will work to naturally stimulate your body's production of it's own testosterone (herbal ignite is a good option here I think).
Other physical causes include a variety of medical conditions, some drugs and medications, or even in some cases nerve damage following certain surgeries such as prostatectomies. If you suspect the latter may be prime culprits in your case, your best bet would be to contact your doc and sort what's what and what your options are.
Be careful with what the Dr tells you though. They mean well but get stuck in a "I have to see 30 patients a day to make a living rut" & DRs love to show you the Test report from the lab & say "You are in the normal range"! The range is age based & At 50 They should say "You are in the normal range, FOR ALL THE OTHER MISERABLE GUYS YOUR AGE".
A TESTOSTERONE LEVEL OF ABOUT 250-400 is normal for guys in their 50s.
here are the truths that the normal General Practioner or Urologist won't add to your education.
1. When we were young & healthy, great muscle tone, lots of erections & sex is easy, no heart disease & loving life in our 20s & early 30s most guys testosterone level was between 1500-2000 some higher. After 35 your level starts to drop pretty aggressively at about 5% per year so in 10 years you could be operating with HALF as much & by mid 50s about 10% of what you had at 30... no wonder sex is not as much fun & erections tougher to keep, heart disease is rampant & your joints hurt!
2. Your body makes testosterone from CHOLESTEROL & that cholesterol medication is killing your cholesterol, liver, muscle tone & your ability to make more testosterone
3. most guys feel good & have good sexual function, energy, health & sleep & no joint pain, with a testosterone blood level anywhere above 800/ Below that & you will have lots of "AGING" symptoms that are really just LOW TESTOSTERON symptoms, not really aging symptoms.
4. By the late 50s & beyond the normal male will fall into the "Double digits" 10-99 on the blood testosterone & feel terrible.
5. When your Testosterone falls the small amount of estrogen that your body produces, starts to dominate & you feel even less masculine, more emotional, muscle mass starts to atrophy & weight gain, ED & loss of sex drive are PROFOUND.

· Injections and patches even pills can be a common ways to get Testosterone, but the Patches & creams are ineffective & irritate the skin and can be dangerous if they come in contact with children, pets or other people.
