Should you tell your wife you crossdress?
== == * Honesty is no always the best. Mothers love their children no matter what! I think your mom may feel you are gay if you cross-dress. While some gays do cross-dress not all cross-dressers are gay. You have to decide who you are and what you want in your future.
How do you feminize my husband?
You need to determine what you mean by 'feminise'. If you mean a 'surgical' change then obviously hormonal means and/or surgical operations are required. The questions then arise that does he wish this to be so. You do not force someone else to undertake such radical changes purely for your own well being and you should not try to force him to.
If you mean in a sexual fetish, roleplaying way, then you can have him wear traditionally feminine clothing, like lingerie, bras, stockings, dresses, skirts, bows, makeup, high heels, etc.
Another answer:
That depends upon what you mean by "feminine". The word is used to mean biologically female (ie, breasts are part of a woman's femininity), social role (like doing the housework) or emotional personality (like being soft and gentle). I'm going to guess that the way to bring this about is by slowly and gradually but continuously rewarding him for any changes he makes toward becoming more feminine. Coax him into shaving his beard or mustache and then take him out to dinner to show your happiness for that; coax him to wear his hair long and reward him when he does; coax him into wearing your nightgown one night, while you make love to him; talk sexually about attractive men like movie stars, while asking what he thinks and then rewarding him in some way for engaging in the conversation; and so on. I don't know if this process will really work or not. If he enjoys being feminized in this way, it might push him further in that direction.
Whats the difference between transgender and transsexual?
A transexual is a person who has had a sex change. Basically where a female becomes a male and visa versa. A transgender is someone who appears as the opposite sex or is a habitual cross dresser.
What treatments do blue cross cover for transgender patients?
No. Most insurance companies do not cover sex reassignment surgery. Now Aetna apparently covers the first $50,000 of transsexual-related costs, so I believe mastectomies are covered. If you have a medical reason like breast cancer, insurance should cover the removal of the cancer. You might be able to get BCBS to cover it if the reason is stated as cancer prevention (if, for example, you have a family history of breast cancer).
They don't. Some females are born with male genitals. This deformity causes these girls to look like and be treated as males. Most of these girls know all their lives that their bodies are wrong, and often seek to correct the deformity via Hormone Replacement Therapy and Sexual Reassignment Surgery.
There is no actually black-and-white answer to whether someone is a homosexual. It is a scale.
This answer depends on whether the transgender is considered to be of the opposite gender or of the same gender as the person who's sexuality is in question.
Gender may be defined by many factors, all of which are accurate and may be used individually:
1) primary sexual characteristics (penis=male vagina=female)
2) primary sexual characteristics after being altered by surgery (post-op)
3) desired gender (a male-to-female transexual=female, a female-to-male transexual=male)
4) legal status (what's on the driver's license or on a passport or birth certificate)
5) presentation (how does the person portray themself?) (i am intersexed without a gender id, so when i present myself as a male, i am male, and when i present myself as a female, people consider me female, even amongst those persons who know about my condition)
6) whatever the person says they are (my personal favourite): a person is the gender that they say that they are, regardless of any of the above factors. This is the most polite way of defining gender, and shows the most amount of etiquette, and is much much much more realistic than the other methods of determination.
For an example: A male who is with a male-to-female transgender is not homosexual if they consider the transgender to be female (see #'s 3,5,6 above). Said male is homosexual if the transgender is considered to be male (see #'s 1,4) above.
Trans-gender is a term that includes more then Male to Female and Female to Male transsexuals. those of us (like me) who don't fit as male or female and do not identify as the opposite of their birth sex can really make the words straight and gay meaningless. as an androgyne there is no opposite of me I have not met many others like me. so any relationship I'm in will not be able to be classed as totaly straight or gay the rest of the world may label it straight but we would know better
No, Daryl Hannah has identified as female her whole life (or, at least, has not publicly stated anything contrary).
What are the causes of crossdressing?
There are no known causes: most likely it is a mix of biology and environment. That is like alcoholism, a man may be born with ambiguity due to genetics and given the freedom to be feminine, develop into a person who can accept the biological cast they received. Others may grow up with the urge but in environments too stifling or harmful if the man crossdressed.
Can a girl get prengent by a shemale?
there's no such thing as a shemale, if you mean a transvestite, then no. If he was not born male then he will not produce sperm, he takes testosterone supplements that will make him appear and act more male, but that wont allow him to produce sperm, which is the only thing that can impregnate a girl.
What percentage of the population of the US is transgender?
This is a new area of study, and there aren't many statistics available yet.
For transgender people
As 2016 there is a report (Gates, 2016) that finds the number to be 0.6% of the population, double the 2011 number, representing 1.4 million Americans. This number will necessarily be quite low because many trans people will decline to be surveyed, many are not yet self-identified for a variety of reasons, and the Williams Institute only looked at adults 18 and over.
The apparent population doubling seen from the 2011 to the 2016 report is likely due to increased awareness amongst the trans population and improved survey techniques. (As a measure of the former, applications to gender clinics have been roughly doubling, year over year (Lyons, 2016), for several years now. Transgender medical services in many countries are increasingly swamped.)
It seems quite likely that we’ll see another big jump in the estimated population with the next report.
For Genderqueer people
There aren't any large scale studies yet. But according to Huffington Post, there was a study called "The National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS)" which was a joint project of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality, provided the opportunity for survey participants to identify their gender as “male,†“female,†“part time as one gender, part time as another,†or “a gender not listed here.â€
Most survey participants identified as “male†or “female,†but over 800 (13 percent) selected “a gender not listed here†and chose to write in their own gender. “Hybrid,†“either/or,†“both/and,†and “mosaic†are just a few of the ways these genderqueer participants described their gender.

yea like im 13 and i wear skiny trousers and girl tops and leotards tutus maid skirts to partys but if you want to get him over it buy him the girlfriend things he wants to wear you see he will cross-dress because it givs him a bit of rebellion but if you allow him he won't feel rebellious and will stop but let buy him girl costumes for partys so he still gets the pleasure plus a little bit of bi will keep him content and stop him going gay but dont ever say will you stop wearing girl cloths or you'd give back the rebel feeling and you might pressure him to full biosexualaty

How to ask a girl to give a guy a girly makeover if you are a guy?
Just ask tell her i am thinking about a makeover do you want to help me? and see what there question is.
Can a transgender man get an erection?
Yes. It is possible to get an erection with a clitoris or with a penis, because they are homologous and have similar form and function (therefore, female women can get erections as well as male men, they just aren't able to have penetrative sex with them because of the size). When a female-bodied person takes testosterone through hormone therapy, it causes the clitoris to increase several centimetres in size, which makes the erection more apparent, but may still be too small to have penetrative sex with.
Sometimes, transmen want to have a larger penis than what grew while taking testosterone. If so, they can have sex reassignment surgery (metoidioplasty or phalloplasty), which increases the size of the penis. Metoidioplasty makes the "grown" penis slightly longer and thicker, but still likely below average as compared to non-trans males. Phalloplasty takes skin from another part of the body and makes a penis-shaped tube to attach in the groin area. A phalloplasty penis is unable to get a natural erection, since it is not made of erectile tissue. To get an erection, transmen need to have erectile implants, like a stiff rod or a pump, which are usually used in non-trans (cis) males who have problems with impotence.
Is someone transsexual or transgender if they want to have both genitals?
Wanting to have both genitals is wanting to be intersexed, not a transsexual or transgender. However, people are born intersexed and cannot choose it. So if someone wants to be like an intersexed person, that would be a type of transgenderism.
Intersexed - an individual which which is born with reproductive organs of both sexes.
Transsexual - A person who strongly identifies with the opposite gender and who chooses to live as a member of the opposite gender or to become one by surgery.
Transgender - is a general term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies to vary from culturally conventional gender roles.
You like to crossdress who do you tell?
They wear clothing of the opposite sex to appear as someone of the opposite sex. Wearing clothes of the opposite sex because they fit isn't crossdressing; it has to be something you only wear because you are presenting as the opposite sex. Either you see someone doing this or they tell you; otherwise you don't know for sure.
A "transgender" is a way to say "transgendered person." It is not a term for a "transsexual" person (someone born with the need to get corrective genital surgery). There are various definitions of transgender and they are adjectives: they describe people as in "That person is transgendered."
One definition is based on the idea that gender is not black and white, boy/girl, 1 or 0. In this definition, no one is all of anything, everyone is a mix, and there are even times in life where the %'s change based on the need of the individual. Look at prison life: most of the individuals that go in and come out are heterosexual, but while in prison the power struggle and lack of available females apparently cause a lot of homosexual behavior but the basic orientation still remains heterosexual. Transgendered in this case means that a person doesn't think they (or just doesn't) fit society's binary system. In the end, this definition of transgender would explain people's behavior better than the "male/female" only theory.
Another definition is someone who deliberately lives in a way opposed to their physical sex. For example, if a person is born with female genitalia and wants to keep it, but expresses and feels that they are a boy mentally, then they are transgender. Transsexual and transgender is not the same thing since the term transsexual is only applicable to those born with a need to correct their genitals, while most transgender people desire to keep their original genitalia. A person is born with transsexualism, and after surgery, they are no longer transsexual, and have never been transgendered. It is a hurtful myth to say that a person becomes transsexual after surgery. The whole idea of the surgery is to stop having transsexualism and to get on with life as if they never had the condition.
Transgender usually means someone who born one biological sex, but doesn't feel like they fit into that category, but who rarely get surgery. Transgender individuals usually do not identify with their biological sex. Transgender and transexual are two different categories because most transgender people do not have surgery to physically change their sex. Transsexuals are in the process of physically changing their sex. Transgender has more to do with how the individual identifies themselves (gender identity) rather than biological sex.
Another definition is political in nature and refers to anyone who considers themselves as different in terms of sex or gender. Many transsexual persons refuse to be lumped in with the TG Community, but others like nonop TG persons or see political value in working together.
The term transsexual relates to persons who have a gender (mental description) that is the opposite of the physical sexual organs of birth. This group is assigning the word transsexual to describe the state of having a gender that doesn't match your physical sex. In these cases, societies believe that gender and sex only come in 2 flavors, male/man female/woman. They ascribe to the idea that there are only these 2 modalities. A transsexual woman is not transgender because she was supposed to have a vagina. She was born with a female brain, and a feminine soul, and was supposed to be born with a vagina. But a typical transgender woman was really supposed to be born with a penis and live as a man, as evidenced by their lack of need for surgery.
