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.

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.
Is there Anyway to know if someome has undergone sex change surgery?
You need to look for signs of the other sex.
like, if a woman has:
more pubic hair around vagina and under arms
larger hands and feet than women
broader shoulders and chest
larger skull and bone structure
greater muscle mass
a more prominent Adam's apple and deeper voice
A longer Shinbone
then she could have been a man.
So, if a man does not have those examples, he might (not is) have been a woman.
it all depends on how large the surgery was.
Answer:
Sometimes you can't tell. If the person had the surgery at 18 or 19 years old and they had been on anti-androgens (holding back puberty) then they could be missing all the classical secondary sexual characteristics:
no thick brow, smaller hands and feet, very little hair, smaller bone structure, very small or no Adam's apple, less muscle mass.
Some of these things can be changed by HRT, Facial Feminizing surgery, and Adam's apple shaving.
Also note: lot's of women have hair, including facial hair, hairy bodies, bigger hands, thicker brows etc. Just because you see or don't see things doesn't mean they are what you think. There are some guys born that need no surgery and are prettier than most women. There are some women born more masculine than most males (think about the joke about East German women...)
Crossdressing has nothing to do with sexuality. 95% of cross dressers are heterosexual (similar to the percentage of the 'normal' population). People sometimes confuse it with sexuality because often homosexual males do it as an expression of their sexual freedom.
Some people crossdress at Halloween because it is a time when they can reveal a hidden desire without being judged. People who have wanted to crossdress for years (and do so privately in their own homes) feel Halloween is an opportunity to explore themselves in a safe enviroment
The great majority of cross dressers are normal heterosexual men. The reasons they cross dress vary, from minor (one article) to major (full time female mode), and few are gay.
The question asked about 'guys', which could be nearly any age. The youngest may just want to try it out. Teens may too, but could already be cross dressing.
But the answer is "Why not?" I doubt you'd find two identical explanations from those that do cross-dress.
Answerit's just that it's fun as heck.
AnswerHalloween is a safe and fun time to experiment. Plus it really is fun. Also, girls clothes are cheap and plentiful, especially if you have female family members. It's a lot easier and cheaper to crossdress than to try to make your own gorilla suit. Don't read too much into it...after seeing broke back mountain, I'd be more concerned over dressing like a cowboy.
AnswerBecause he's a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And nylons and female accessories are easily available.What do you do if you feel like a girl in a boy's body?
call yourself a tomboy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Do you mean you like to do things boys like to do, or do you feel you are not really a girl but should have been born with a boys' body?
If the first then 'fuggitaboutit' - have fun and enjoy whatever you enjoy doing (long as it's legal mind you...)
If the second then I recommend talking with your parents about going to a good gender therapist (have your parents make sure they are experienced with gender issues) and joining a few of the cleaner transgender groups online*, they often have others that feel the same ways as you and are open minded.
* cleaner = no surfing for dates in the group, no BDSM; it's about gender issues only.
Can a transgenerd woman get another woman pregnant?
Yes, if the person is male-to-female transgender (AKA was designated male at birth, is transitioning to living as a woman). A transwoman is often male-bodied and, thus, has a penis, scrotum, seminal vesicles, etc., and sperm. Although the sperm have likely been altered by any hormone therapy, which is common in transgender people, it would still be possible to fertilize an egg and make someone pregnant. If a transwoman has had sex reassignment surgery (has had a vaginoplasty, has had her penis/balls removed) then she no longer produces sperm and is unable to get anyone pregnant.
No, if the person is female-to-male transgender (AKA was designated female at birth, is transitioning to living as a man). People who are born female do not have the necessary reproductive organs to produce sperm, so are not able to get anyone pregnant.
Is it gay to like crossdressers?
Well .... most of the audience for a drag performance are gay men. However, most of the customers of transvestite prostitutes are reportedly straight men. There is some doubt as to whether the straight clients are unaware of the prostitute's true gender and are merely attracted to the "bombshell" pin-up look that is popular among transvestites, who tend to devote a great deal of time to makeup and clothing. There is also the theory that some straight men choose to deceive themselves by pretending that the 6'4" hooker in the back of the limo is really a woman, even as some of them eventually find their way down to a set of male genitalia and react to the discovery in a variety of ways.
Yes. They are 2 different things. One means you do not perceive yourself as society sees you - you do not see yourself as part of the binary system that is considered "right".
The other is a person (man or woman) who dresses in the clothes of the opposite sex to appear to be that sex. Sometimes they are transgendered and sometimes not. These people are often called crossdressers or 'officially' transvestites.
Transgender = a gender identity outside of the gender binary. Crossdressing, transvestism, agender, genderf*ck, androgynous - any form of gender variance.
Do keep in mind that neither of these are the same as transsexual persons. A transsexual person is already fully what they are transitioning into. Think of a TS woman as a woman with a birth defect who is getting surgery to be more like any other woman, not as a man trying to become a woman. So they are gender conformists and thus should never be lumped under the transgender umbrella. Also, once a TS gets surgery, they no longer have transsexualism and are thus legally and socially considered cisgender, not transsexual nor transgender. That bothers TG persons to no end, since transgender people want a community, and transsexual persons only want to be a part of the community that their condition robbed them of, not form some 3rd-sex ghetto.
AnswerI am transgender and sometimes I'm dressed as a female, sometimes as a male. I feel I'm a woman either way.Is it weird for a guy to enjoy wearing bras?
It's not very common. But does happen, it's called cross-dressing.
How can a female to male transgender have a penis?
Taking testosterone (a common step in transitioning to living as a man) makes the clitoris grow several centimeters and this is what most transsexual men use as a penis. Effectively, it is a penis, though not as large as is average for non-trans men, and is able to get and maintain an erection. The clitoris is homologous to the penis; they form in-utero from the same group of cells and have similar anatomy and function.
A few transsexual men get penises by undergoing sex-reassignment surgery, but that is expensive, not especially successful, and not wildly common.
There are basically two common types of FtM SRS:
Metoidioplasty- "involves cutting the ligament that holds your clitoris in place under
the pubic bone, as well as some of the surrounding tissue. Your clitoris is then freed up so more of it is showing"
Phalloplasty- "the most common involves removing a flap of skin/blood vessels/nerves from the forearm (or another area, such as the abdominal area), rolling this to make a 'tube within a tube' and , then using microsurgery to attach the new penis to your groin (over the top of your clitoris)."
How can u make it look like you have no penis?
Crossdressing has it's limits...
The only way to do anything meaningful would be to get a sex change.
