How can a man sound like a girl?
A person born with male parts is unlikely to sound like a little girl. Now, a woman born wrongly with male parts can learn how to feminize her voice and be taken for a woman, even on the phone. Here is what you do.
1. Find your modal (default) voice and try to determine its pitch. It might be about a C3 (around 120 hz). You want it to be about a G3 if you can get it there. Try to habituate your voice around there.
2. Then try increasing your resonance. One thing to do is raise your larynx. To get an idea how it feels, swallow and take your hand and hold things up as you speak using the advice in step #1. Then once you get an idea of the sound, then learn to do it with muscles. Try to bring the voice more to the front of your mouth. While whispering a lot isn't good, you can use whispering as a gauge to check your resonance. Try for a "higher" sounding whisper that seems to come from the front of your mouth. That may require opening the mouth wider and/or raising the tongue. Keep practicing this.
3. Then you work on your behavior and body language. Use more gestures, don't be afraid to touch others (with discretion of course), smile more, don't interrupt, and avoid offensive words and topics. Lean into a conversation and express genuine interest.
4. Word choice and grammar also helps. Use proper grammar. While women do curse on occasion and speak about inappropriate things, they do not tend to keep gravitating to graphic sexual conversations and conversations about toilet habits.
5. Don't think of yourself as a man. If you are a transsexual and plan on surgery, then a certain part of you was always a girl/woman. Transition is not to change who you are, but to bring who you are to the surface so all can see. So if you think of yourself as a woman and lead with that type of energy, you may find yourself behaving and speaking more feminine.
6. There are advanced things to try. One is to do vocal warm-ups for singers. Yes, you would practice in your natural voice, but as you do so, you get more flexible with your voice, and this flexibility and conditioning will help as you feminize your voice.
7. Work on bridging the register break in your voice. Most people's voices jump into falsetto, but you can learn to remove that break. Just do a "siren" effect from chest voice, into head voice, and back. Keep doing it gently and eventually you can figure it out. Then singing or doing scales across that bridge and back. The practice speacking across it and back. Girls sometimes squeal with delight as they greet each other, and it is nice to have the range to do that. While speaking in falsetto doesn't work well with masculine voices, you can learn to speak in a blend of chest and head voice and add a few more usable notes to your range.
Is that true that most transgender people are gay?
Note: Please do not merge this question with similar questions using the word "transsexual." Transsexual persons are born with their condition and seek to eliminate it. They don't choose to become transsexual. Many transsexual persons find being lumped with transgendered persons to be offensive, and some even oppose the transgender and/or LGBT Communities.
This is difficult to answer, but it seems the answer is no. A transgendered person is either someone who chose to vary their gender expression or who will never get surgery. For many, transgenderism is only recreational. No study has been done on this.
No! This a malicious and sick joke that some diluted and misguided person believes to be funny so they have been posting fake accounts of the relationship on Wikipedia and other web-based collaborative information banks, in addition they have been creating false MySpace and Facebook pages for both individuals proclaiming them to be joined in a homosexual relationship. All reports, allegations and innuendo of this relationship are false and ridiculous.
"Lee Dennison" does not exist. This story is an elaborate internet hoax invented by an online prankster who has spammed it on Wikipedia and countless message boards. The prankster even created fake MySpace and Facebook pages for Ron Livingston and the nonexistent "casting director Lee Dennison" claiming they are in a gay relationship.
Ron Livingston is straight and married to Rosemarie DeWitt.

How much would cost to have a sex reassignment surgery in Canada?
If a person is diagnosed with Gender Disphoria (or Gender Identity Disorder), and they complete all the requirements (therapist, hormones, whatever the specific surgeon requests) then that person can get SRS at no cost - the procedure is considered medically necessary and so the government pays. As long as you are a Canadian citizen.
Likewise in some European countries like Sweden. In the US, this whole process is also considered necessary, and so an American citizen's insurance is supposed to pay. And if they discriminate against this procedure, there are things you can bring up that says they must pay. I am sorry but I cannot give you those. But Laura's Playground is an excellent Transgender support website with plenty of information including regulated chat rooms with moderators specifically trained in this kind of stuff.
A "shemale" is a male (ie., born with a penis) who does not intend to complete finish surgical transformation into a woman, and they typically pose in adult publications. Such a person still has a penis, but also has female features due to hormone treatments. They cannot be called female as being female means you have female parts. Referring to a person who was born with male anatomy and who wishes to keep their male anatomy as "female" can be taken as insulting to those born with female parts.
People who have both male and female organs are called intersexed, and are usually raised as either a boy or a girl - often, the parents choose to have the less prominent organ(s) removed at birth so that the child can grow up looking like a normal boy or a normal girl.
A person who feels that they have been born in the wrong body (aka "feels like a woman trapped in the wrong body") has transsexualism. Someone who is gender-variant and who typically has no plans for corrective surgery is transgender. Most transgender persons do not have surgery, but simply live as a woman (or a man if they are a female-to-male transgender) - they dress and act like a woman instead of a man.
What do you call a man that is now a woman?
I would suggest calling her by her chosen name, the same way you would speak to anyone. Make sure that you use female pronouns.
If you're asking in a more general sense, someone who has transitioned from the gender they were born as to the gender they feel more comfortable as is called either "transgender" or "transsexual." A woman who was born a man would be a MtF.
Is it normal for me being a man to like women with cocks a.k.a shemales?
A shemale is a transgender man with surgically or hormonally enhanced breasts, they are not women. Many men are into shemales, a name used for transgender men working in the sex industry. What is normal when it comes to sexual preference is hard to say but you are not alone.
Is there such thing as a boy slash girl?
you mean like a he-she? or an it? lol no. there's boys and girls, that's it. Unless you're a transvestite, meaning you change your gender. But otherwise there's no natural way to be both a boy and girl.
The answer you don't usually get in sex-ed class, but should:The above answer is not quite true. There is another option, intersex, which is an umbrella term that covers a lot of natural variation. There are people born with the reproductive parts of both genders; there are people born with the chromosomes of one gender (eg XY) and the anatomy of the other (eg F); there are people with extra chromosomes (eg XXY); there is androgyny, with little or no physical gender cues.
Our culture is uncomfortable with this ambiguity, pushing intersex people (or their parents) to give a single-gender identity, regardless of its aptness. Babies with both 'parts' were traditionally given surgery at birth to assign a single gender, usually female if the male penis was irregular, small, etc. The odd thinking behind this is that the penis makes the man. Now more genetic testing and assessments are made to medically determine pros and cons of each.
As a side note, transvestite is just when you wear clothes of the opposite gender, and has nothing to do with how you feel in your own skin or your sexual preferences. Transgender is when you change your gender.
You want convert to shemale what is a procedure?
To transition to a transgender woman (often referred to as a "shemale," though this term is considered derogatory by many), individuals typically undergo various procedures as part of their gender-affirming transition. This may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to develop female secondary sexual characteristics, and surgical options such as breast augmentation or gender-affirming genital surgery. It's essential to consult with healthcare professionals who specialize in transgender health to discuss options, risks, and the best personalized approach for transitioning. Additionally, mental health support can be crucial during this process.
Who are some notable transgender people?
There are many notable transgender people both alive and dead. Some of the most famous transgender individuals would be Amanda Lepore and Amanda Milan.
What the side effects taking estogen as a male trangenar?
There are a great many varieties of estrogen. Not just one as the name would suggest. You should speak to your endocrinologist, to discuss possible side effects of the particular estrogen they prescribed to you.
A difficult question. You risk losing your gf if you ask her to dress you, she might think you are wierd. Sorry I can't be more helpful, society is not good with those who have unusual tastes.
Anyone have advice for a 15 year old crossdresser?
I crossdress for 40 years, and most of my friends know about and don't care. They say "you need to be yourself."
Clothes you wear is not a major issue with many Americans now!
AnswerTalk to a professional. Don't waste energy consulting places that do not have credentials.Unless you are just trying to get people to tell you it's OK?
Answer
I'm fifteen, and i discovered a couple years ago that i wasn't just crossdressing, but was completely trying to fit in with the other gender. i would ask yourself if you feel that you would want to be considered and recognized as the opposite gender, and if so, then congratulations, you're transgender.
Are kinnars as same as shemales?
No. "shemale" is a term only used in porn.
Kinnar, or hijra might be transsexual, transgender, intersex, crossdressers, or eunuchs. It is now an officially recognized third gender in India.
Yes, it's ok. People are just sometimes insensitive about it. It's really nothing, just having the mind of the opposite gender. No biggie, just means you have the body of a guy but the mind of a girl or vice versa.
What should you do if you are a boy and are caught wearing makeup at school?
Rock it! It's not super uncommon for men to wear makeup nowadays, especially guys with bad complexion. The worst that can happen (at most schools) is a bit of teasing from your peers, but that will stop if you just roll with it and ignore them. If you keep it up, others will get used to seeing you with makeup, and they won't bother caring anymore.
If it's against your schools dress code, like if you go to a private school, then stop if you are told to. But if you show confidence, people should leave you alone. Take pride in the fact that you care more about your appearance than others!
You are a boy who wears bras skirts and dresses a lot how do you tell people?
Test the waters first. Ask questions about queer people or trans people to others, and see how they react. If they show inclinations toward homophobia and transphobia, you will probably want to avoid telling them unless you are in a safe situation.
