<li>I wanted to be a girl when I was 5</li>
<li>I envied my older sister</li>
<li>Later I envied my younger sister too</li>
<li>When I entered puberty (12?) I hated having erections</li>
<li>I wondered what would happen if I cut it off</li>
<li>As I aged, I hated having a penis</li>
<li>I envied girls and wished I had no penis ALWAYS</li>
<li>Girl’s bodies were so much smoother and sleeker</li>
<li>When I was 12, I almost confessed to my mother that I wanted to be a girl</li>
<li>I was afraid of what my father would say</li>
<li>In those days, girls were much more feminine - I loved this about them</li>
<li>They wore dresses much more often - they were lucky</li>
<li>I loved dresses</li>
<li>I used to dream about my legs being free and feeling the breeze</li>
<li>As I aged, I began to think about boys a lot</li>
<li>One of my fondest dreams was to have a boy carry me in his arms with my arms around his neck</li>
<li>I didn’t know it then, but if I had, I would have asked my mother to take me to
a doctor to get female hormones</li>
<li>One night, I sneaked into my older sister’s room and lifted her nightgown while she was asleep to study her lack of a penis</li>
<li>I wanted to be her sooooo much</li>
<li>When I was a teen, I wished I could date boys</li>
<li>I fantasized boys wanted to kiss me</li>
<li>I wanted to make them excited just looking at me</li>
<li>When I was a man, I kissed a man and turned him on</li>
<li>I dressed in my sisters' clothing a lot - in secret</li>
<li>I've fantasized about growing breasts forever</li>

That was the end of girlhood, and the end of this story, but I cannot leave her — me — lying there, on the cold locker-room floor. That wasn’t the end. She got back up, but it took another 17 years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Sometimes I write in the first-person. Sometimes she can only bear to tell her story in the third-. If you’ve just arrived, you probably want to go <a href="https://medium.com/@allisawash/i-girl-begun-why-my-mother-raised-me-as-a-girl-3005132df0b8" target="_blank">back to the beginning</a>.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were OK years, and there were grim years. After that first, hideous year in the States, she <a href="https://mystudentvoices.com/metamorphosis-4669034de81" target="_blank">found a refuge</a>, and things were a little better for a while, but it was always complicated. A few years after the end of this story her mother died and her father threw her out. She was homeless for a time; <a href="https://psiloveyou.xyz/seventeen-my-second-first-time-da80f7f11c7c" target="_blank">let strangers take her home</a> in exchange for a meal, a shower, a warm place to sleep. Alcohol and drugs and gender and hopelessness played their parts. She ended her life, several times, but continued nonetheless.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eight years after being sent away, she found her way back to Europe, back home (but not); ballet and an Englishman played their parts. She found herself a stranger, a foreigner, lost her way, lost her man, everything; again. She relocated, again, hid, masked herself in society’s image, a ‘family man’, became ‘successful’; a Frenchwoman and a child played their parts. Thus she lost herself; again. Abandoned herself, really, as her mother had. She ended her life, but continued nonetheless.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But — she found her way back, eventually. Cast off the mask and became herself; again. In the end, the red-haired, green-eyed girl came back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And here she is, at last: Seventeen years after being kicked to the floor, a girl no longer, but a woman —</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, 56 years after her mother applied that first lipstick, she blots her own with a tissue, closing her mouth over a fold, just like her mum used to. It’s about the same shade, she thinks. Her green eyes have faded to hazel, and her red hair has thinned and darkened to brown; grey is beginning to appear at the temples.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like that 12-year-old girl, she occasionally has that anguished dream, though rarely now. When she does, momentarily anxious upon waking, she checks herself, touches her vulva, cups her breasts; and begins her day with the most profound sense of relief. Sometimes she imagines herself sheltering that little girl in her arms, brushing the long, strawberry-blonde hair back from her shoulder, whispering in her ear —</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Don’t worry, little one. It will all be OK. The dream came true, after all.’</div>

I certainly couldn’t appreciate it at the time, but in retrospect I can imagine my father’s consternation upon my arrival in his house at age 14. The ‘son’ he had last seen as hardly more than a toddler must have seemed almost alien: a lithe, diminutive creature* with green eyes and red-blonde hair down her back and a distinctly foreign accent and vocabulary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For my part, I did not know this man. He must have had very little interest in me when I was small; I had virtually no memory of him. Nor did I understand why my mother had sent me away. That she was leaving Norway, I knew, and also that it had something to do with her break-up with her then-boyfriend (it usually did; whenever we changed countries there was often a man involved). But this time we did not leave together, and this I never understood. Nor ever forgave her for. I felt abandoned, exiled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naturally, I assumed it was my fault. And perhaps, in a way, it was — whilst the changes in my body were mercifully late in coming, coming they were, and my insistence on continuing to present myself as female was no doubt causing my mother considerable anxiety. She probably felt guilt at having ‘allowed’ matters to go so far, uncorrected, and probably had no idea how to resolve the coming crisis. With the disruption in her own personal life, it was probably just easier to tell my father it was ‘his turn’, and pass the problem — me — off. As kind as she was to me, in so many ways, my mother was never one to face up to consequences head-on. I doubt she gave my father any warning as to what exactly was arriving on his doorstep. When he first laid eyes on me he must’ve wondered who this girl was. And what on earth to do with her. Him. Whatever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I arrived only a couple weeks before the start of the school year. He took me to buy school things. And to cut my hair. Which I adamantly refused to allow. He drove me to the barber, but I would not get out of the car. He slapped me, but I would not give in. My hair was all I had left.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<hr align="center" size="0" width="100%" />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
At my new school ‘physical education’ was a requirement. I was terrified. I had never spent much time around boys, and the gymnasium was nothing but boys. My father had bought me the required ‘gym clothes’, but I ‘forgot’ them the first few days, and got written up for it. The thought of changing clothes in front of dozens of boys was unbearable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unable to escape the inevitable, I thought to go early and change before anyone else arrived, but someone saw me enter the locker room, and boys followed me in. I stood petrified, clutching my things.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Hey, look who it is.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not sure how many of them there were, maybe four or five. I had already been teased about my name and my voice and my hair, mocked and shoved around in the hallways. This was going to be worse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘What it is, you mean.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘What is it?’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Hey, let’s find out.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was grabbed, hard, many hands; shoved and pinned to the wall. I felt my trousers and underwear being yanked down, my ankles tangled. I was tossed onto the cold concrete floor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried to get up but was shoved down again, someone had hold of my hair and was using it to pull me down, a foot pressed into my chest. Someone kicked me, then brought their foot down in my crotch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Well, now we know, I guess.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
‘Do we?’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laughter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now many feet were kicking, stomping. My hair was released and I curled into a ball. The kicking continued, on my back and buttocks, another final blow aimed between my legs. The laughter receded and I heard the door slam closed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Silence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a few minutes other boys would begin arriving. I recovered myself and fled.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<hr align="center" size="0" width="100%" />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
I arrived home from school, far too early. My father looked me up and down with what seemed to be mild interest. I must’ve looked a sight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘What happened to you?’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
‘Boys. Gym class.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
He looked disgusted, maybe amused, I couldn’t tell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
‘Well, what did you expect? Cut your hair.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
But I never would. It was all I had left.</div>

Except for certain awkward moments (and two horrific and blessedly brief school enrollments), I didn’t really think about my gender much. For eight years I was schooled at home by my mother and occasional tutors. I was ‘she’ and ‘her’, and so long as my mother plaited my hair and the neighborhood girls skipped rope with me, I didn’t worry about it too much. If my mother worried, I cannot say.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is, until age 12, when I began to worry about it very much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was summertime. We were recently moved to Norway, and the weather was glorious. Children and ducks swam in the nearby lake, and girls my age were now covering themselves with shoulder-strap swimsuits, under which a few were beginning to ‘show’. I felt increasingly out-of-place, self-conscious. I wore a tee-shirt to swim, which made me stand out a bit. For the first time I was really beginning to feel ‘other’. I stopped swimming.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I became hyper-aware of my genitals and my chest. I began having an intense, recurring dream in which I would awake having been magically endowed with a vagina whilst I slept. It was so vivid that, when I did actually awake, I would immediately check myself, then start my day off with the most profound sense of loss. I became so obsessed that I developed a ritual each night before dropping asleep: I would press with my fingers on the spot where I knew my vagina should be and wish for the dream, wish for it to really work this time, wish for relief and a way out of my hideous predicament.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Needless to say, I discussed this with no one: I knew there was something horribly, horribly wrong with me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Summer ended. After several months of intensive tutoring sessions to gain literacy in Norwegian Bokmål, and with great trepidation, I joined other children in school, essentially for the first time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was ashamed, certain that the teachers knew I was ‘really a boy’, but never really sure who knew what. It seems that there would have been painful pronouns, but I do not remember this; perhaps I blocked them out, or perhaps I was not mis-gendered — people tend not to question an appearance that meets norms, and in Norway my long blonde plaits were pretty normal. Mercifully, there were no school uniforms and no gym classes in the school I attended; no activities which separated boys from girls — here, even in 1969, girls took wood shop and boys took home economics. Girls now commonly wore shorts and jeans, so my clothing didn’t stand out. In all, I continued to pass as a girl, and was well treated.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My body was beginning to change, there were stirrings, my strawberry-blonde hair was beginning to darken toward red, and a few months into the school term my body did something odd: my nipples became very sensitive and hardened, and my chest began to grow — I, too, began to ‘show’. I find it difficult to describe the mix of emotions this brought up in me — the most extreme hope combined with extreme embarrassment. My chest drew comment and I took to wearing bulky pullovers. In any event, my magical wishing seemed, at last, to be working.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite my best efforts, my mother eventually noticed, insisted that I show her my chest, and became very concerned. She took me to a doctor. Who was quite perplexed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

We are in the doctor’s exam room. At my mother’s instruction I remove my top and the doctor looks me over. I am humiliated.<o:p></o:p></div>

I am utterly mortified. I start to put my top back on, but the doctor recovers, with an odd look toward my mother, and inspects me again, more closely. Touches and squeezes where I want no touch and certainly no squeeze. I cover myself as soon as he pulls back.<o:p></o:p></div>

Mere weeks later the swelling subsided, as if my mother and the doctor had colluded to snuff out my last remaining hope. My nipples became less painful, softened, and shrank away, leaving me disconsolate. I refused to go to school, eventually refusing even to leave my room. My sleep cycle became disordered, so that I read books during the night, often till sunrise, and slept during the day. For the first of many times, I wanted out of my life.<o:p></o:p></div>

I said it was complicated. I said I was raised as a girl, but there was more to it than that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, I grew up as a girl, but not like Avery, on <a href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/01/editors-note-gender/" target="_blank">the cover of National Geographic</a>. In my girlhood there was ambiguity, uncertainty, a certain stealth, and, inevitably, an end.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From age four, when my mother first began to appreciate the nature of my gender, and for the subsequent eight-plus years, my life floated within the norms of girlhood, albeit with occasional, painful caveats: a couple ill-advised and abortive attempts to enroll me in school, sometimes-awkward statements blurting from my mother’s mouth, strange looks when passports came out…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t like she had a plan. She didn’t ‘understand’, in the sense that some parents today do. She didn’t have a name for my circumstance, a diagnosis to attach to me, any guide to follow. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She was, herself, a free-spirit of a coming age, as evidenced by the made-up, vaguely feminine name she’d blessed me with at birth, in the way she allowed me to express myself through my appearance and behavior, and by our itinerant lifestyle, shifting from country to country as year by year we made our way across Europe; Spain, France, UK, Norway.<o:p></o:p></div>

It is around three or four years of age that we become aware of our gender,* aware that we are more like one of our parents than the other, and that boys and girls are divided into separate lives. It is then that we make our move, or are moved. If there is a disconnect, it is then that we first make our stand, if we can. And it was then, just a couple years before my parents’ separation, that I made my move.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was at her wardrobe. I had put on one of her blouses, which made for me a floor-length gown, and was clomping about in her red high-heels and a string of pearls. She gently lifted the pearls — a legacy of her great aunt — from me and replaced them with a faux-gold chain; surveyed the result. She took matching clip-ons from her jewelry box and attached them to my earlobes. They pinched a bit.<o:p></o:p></div>

‘Wait there.’<o:p></o:p></div>

She returned with her purse, from which she retrieved her lipstick. Her hand on my cheek to hold me steady, she applied color to my lips, blotted it with a tissue. She added a bit of blush to my cheeks from a compact. With her silver backed, boar-bristle brush she swept my strawberry-blonde hair past my shoulders, then handed me the matching hand mirror.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It would be foolish to think that, in 1961, my mother understood that I was female in the most fundamental sense. It is unlikely that she ever completely understood this, and certainly not when I was four. But there was always something odd in the way she treated me, at least given the culture of that time: note my already long hair. A decade later, my father blamed my mother for what was ‘wrong’ with me, claiming that she’d always wanted a girl and that this was why she had raised me as she had, allowed me to be as I was, corrupted me. Perhaps he was right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a precedent. Where my mother was odd, hyper-feminine, gentle, flexible, indulgent, and had wanted a daughter, her mother had also been odd, but opposite: masculine in appearance, harsh, strict, rigid, had wanted sons; a fact that she had impressed upon her three daughters. My grandmother was a strange, cruel woman; if, indeed, woman she was.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They were estranged, mother and daughter, and had been since my mother’s teen years. She rarely spoke of her mother, but did share a few, rather horrible stories; and a few of the facts were filled-in by my aunt, her sister, decades after their deaths. I never met my grandmother.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Evidently, grandmother had always worn trousers, and had done since she’d attended engineering school in the 1920s, where it was men-only and the dress code was suit-and-tie. She held to that dress code throughout her career as a civil engineer, she wore her hair very short, even for a man of her day, and certainly never a bit of makeup or jewelry. She had a pocket-watch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is not to say that grandmother was trans-masculine — clothes do not make the man — and there is, of course, no way to know. If she was, then it seems odd that she married and had three children, but this is not conclusive either. And she would not be the first woman to cut her hair and wear a suit to pass in a man’s world. She secured for herself a university degree and a career in a time when this would not normally have been possible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And she was very cruel to her children. She gave her daughters crew-cuts and sent them to school in overalls, in America’s South, during the 1940s. She reminded them constantly that they should’ve been boys, and horse-whipped them when they crossed her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mother escaped her mother by deliberately getting herself sent to boarding school at age 14, whereupon she learnt to sew, acquired dresses, and grew her hair out. It is little surprise then, that a mere decade later, I had long, strawberry-blonde hair to go with my green eyes, and two simple dresses, of plain white cloth, which she had sewn for me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I said, it was complicated.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Introduction: Trangendered or Transsexual?</span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">First of
all, there is a big difference between being transgendered and being a
transsexual. Transgender folk feel like the opposite sex mentally. Transsexuals
desire to change their bodies to become the opposite sex physically.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">You might
think these always go hand and hand, but they don't have to. I met a
transsexual once who went from male to female physically, but continued to live
as a male. He was completely happy with his identity as a male, but plain and
simply couldn't tolerate his male physical self.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I also know
a transgendered person who lives and works as a woman with complete success,
but absolutely never wants to have sex reassignment surgery. She was born male
and loves her male sexuality but feels completely female of mind.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I bring
these examples up to illustrate a well-known psychological distinction
- the difference between </span></span><span class="c-14"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">gender dysphoria</span></i></span><span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> and</span></span><span class="c-14"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> genital
dysphoria</span></i></span><span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In plain
language, "dysphoria" means "can't tolerate." In the real
world, it means you are so unhappy with the way things are that you are
nervous, anxious, and may even consider suicide to end the mental anguish.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">"Gender"
is not about what's between your legs. It refers to your gender identity, and
that is best described not as male or female but as masculine or feminine. In
the real world the term "gender" is bandied about as if it were a
synonym for "physical sex." You see it when filling out applications -"Gender
- M or F."</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But gender
is really all about your emotions (and, as we shall later see, also about the
way you think logically too!) In short, are you happy and satisfied with the
way society treats you on the basis of gender or are you not?</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If you like
some parts the role society lays out for you, but don't like others, or even if
you like all of the role you are assigned, but yearn to experience some aspects
of the other, you are not alone!</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In fact,
there are very few people who are one hundred percent of one gender and nothing
of the other. Laying it out flat: everyone is transgender to some degree or
other.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It is when
that degree is very large that the feelings of dysphoria become very strong,
and that is when people begin to question their gender identity.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If society
allowed and completely supported any individual acting and dressing any way he
or she wanted, there would still be two genders but they wouldn't be based on
physical sex. But society isn't like that. Even today, society expects men to act
like men and women to act like women. And so, since just about everyone has
some degree of transgenderism, just about everyone feels at least a little
constrained in their assigned gender role.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Think of
gender not as a binary choice of one thing or another, but as a spectrum or
range with "Masculine" on one end of the line and
"Feminine" on the other. If you had to class any given person on that
scale, you would place them somewhere along the line between the two.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But in
reality, that just sums up all of a person's traits, averages them together
like making a smoothie in a blender, and then describes what the whole thing
tastes like.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A better
way to think about gender is as a collection of distinct traits, each of which
has a range from masculine to feminine. For example, does liking to watch
football mean a person is masculine gendered? Of course not. Like me, you
probably know a lot of women who enjoy football, though most, it is true, do
not.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Does
enjoying knitting prove someone is of a feminine gender? Nope. My daughter is
an award-winning knitter, and her fiancée has taken up the craft with great
enthusiasm. He's a masculine dude, but finds it a relaxing hobby.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Still, do
real men not eat quiche, as the book title states? Society would have you think
so. Just look at television commercials and you'll see that 98% of them cast
men and women in masculine and feminine roles based on their physical sex, as
if the two attributes were tied to each other.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">How did it
get like this? Simple, really. Society is like a living machine. It doesn't
care if you are happy; it just cares if you do your job. It assigns jobs to
those best equipped to handle them - that's how society keeps itself
strong.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Due to
differences in the brains of men and women and also due to the effects of
testosterone vs. estrogen, adult men and women are not equally equipped,
mentally and physically.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For
example, if have a need for big strong people to help lift heavy loads, you'll
find more men than women. There aren't a lot of women working on moving vans,
for example. Men, in general, are just physically bigger and stronger than
women.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But, when
it comes to handling electronic components on an assembly line, you'll find
almost only women. Women's brains (and hormones) make them far more patient
with repetitive tasks then men for whom it is almost torture.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So, society
keeps itself efficient by creating unspoken boundaries between the sexes that
guide men and women into activities for which they will be most efficient
overall.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Though just
about everybody is transgender in at least a few small ways, there are so many
different kinds of jobs, activities, and lifestyles available that nearly
everyone can find a niche in society where they perform a function and fit in
with others who are attracted to that niche.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Think of
all the stereotypes - the computer geek, the debutante, the football
player, the housewife. There's a job, activity, or role for just about everyone
- just about. But for some of us, no matter which niche we tried, we found
the fit a little too tight, like a pair of jeans a size too small.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Can you
still squeeze into them? Sure. But are you comfortable? Not hardly.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Suppose the
jeans were two sizes too small? Or three? What if they were so small you
couldn't get into them at all? Well, this describes the varying degrees of
gender dsyphoria.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Most people
have such a mild case of gender dysphoria that they can forge a happy life,
even if the jeans don't exactly fit in all areas. After all, how many of us
can't buy off the rack and need tailored clothes instead?</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But if the
role is too tight, we live uncomfortably. The worse the fit, the more we chaff
and fidget. Eventually, we may become so uncomfortable that we think perhaps a
different role would fit better.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But how can
we tell without actually trying it on? And therein lies the rub, as it were.
How can we go about sampling the other role without destroying everything we've
built in our current role - relationships, seniority, perhaps career
recognition?</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For males
seeking to explore the female society role, the first step is often
cross-dressing. For women , the tendency is to explore being a tomboy. Why the
difference? In society, the male role is a lot more restrictive. So, any
outward expression of feminine traits brings immediate ridicule. In addition,
men are not "allowed" by society to wear anything pertaining to the
opposite sex. So, alone, at home, men exploring their gender identity will try
on female clothing as an aid to imagining themselves as women, so they can act,
move, and even practice speaking as a woman.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Now there's
an important differentiation here. So far, we've said nothing about sexual
stimulation, essentially, what turns you on? Does cross-dressing turn you on?
If it does, does it mean you are a transvestite rather than a transsexual. Naw.
Not that simple.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What turns
us on is as unconnected to any other traits as gender dysphoria is independent
of genital dysphoria. For example, gay men come in a whole range of varieties
from very feminine to very masculine. But, they all like other men. Some like
women too. And some are auto erotic.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Some who
like women also are really bisexual. Some straight men to also like men a bit
are bisexual. But like everything else, it is a matter of degree - do you
find both sexes equally attractive? Do you find one more than the other? Are
you attracted to one of the sexes but also to just one attribute of another?</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Many gay
men who would never want to make love to a woman find themselves oddly
titillated by female breasts. Go figger. In a phrase, anything goes. So, when
trying to figure yourself out, don't box yourself in.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If you are
turned on by cross-dressing, you might just be a cross-dresser who gets off on
the experience. Nothing wrong with that at all. As we used to say in the 70's,
"Whatever turns you on."</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But, a lot
of true, majorly dysphoric transsexuals also started by cross-dressing and were
also stimulated by it. I can tell you for a fact that a little known secret is
that many 'true" transsexuals who started out men but whose minds are totally
female </span></span><span class="c-14"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">still</span></i></span><span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> get turned on by wearing women's clothes
everyday, even decades after having sex reassignment surgery. What's more, a
lot of born women get turned on by their clothes as well. Why do you think
lingerie is so popular? You think women do it just for the guys?</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Any time
anyone enjoys some kind of activity sexually, it is a normal reaction. When a
lot of people do the same thing, society either condones it or looks the other
way. For example, men and women can kiss in public, but look what happens if
two people of the same sex kiss in a shopping mall in most parts of the world.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Whenever
less than a majority of people engage in a particular form of sexual
gratification, it is branded a </span></span><span class="c-14"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">fetish</span></i></span><span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> by
society, which frowns on "aberration" because it threatens the
efficient operation of the social machine.</span></span><span class="c-1"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="c-19"><span style="color: maroon; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But there's
really nothing wrong with it per se - it just gums up the works of the
Great Engine of Society.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Not all
transgendered or transsexual folk start by cross-dressing. Some bypass it
completely. Those are the ones for whom gender dysphoria is really strong but
genital dysphoria is weak. In other words, they like their bodies but want to
express themselves femininely.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So what
about this "genital dysphoria" anyway? Some clever person described
genital dysphoria in born males as "venus envy." In short, they want
to swap their genitalia for the other kind.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Again, this
can simply be a comfort thing where you feel as if you have some sort of alien
growth between your legs, feel unclean, and have to change it to the other
kind. Or, it can be a sexual thing where you have no particular attachment to
what you've got, but would really enjoy wearing the other sex as your body.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Once more,
a lot more women than men get off on their own bodies. Women's brains and
hormones tend to make them feel more like the bait wiggling on the hook than
the fish looking for a quick lunch. Who do you think enjoys mirrored ceilings
more? (And speaking of mirrors, how often do you see women checking out their
reflections? In men it is seen as vanity, in women, well, "Woman, thy name
is vanity." In other words, its normal for girls.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: .25in; margin-top: 4.5pt; mso-line-height-alt: .75pt;">
<span class="c-13"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Okay, I've
dumped a lot of information on you, especially if you are a beginner just
trying to understand yourself.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Before I started my hormones, I felt depressed, but what got me through it was finding ways to make myself feel more feminine (at least, according to what my own definition of femininity is) and like I was progressing in my transition. Of course, everyone’s transition is different and everyone’s idea of femininity is different. But here, I share some of the things that helped <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">me</em>, as well as some of my top tips if you're going through a similar time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I grew my hair!</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This was the easiest and cheapest way to progress in my transition because it cost no money at all and I could do it without even thinking. (Of course, I realize that not every girl wants to grow out her hair, but this was something I wanted to do.) Caring for your hair with nourishing treatments and oils can help to make it grow, but the best part about this extra hair care is that I was able to give myself some self-care, too.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Body hair removal</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the topic of hair: As well as growing it, there may be hair you want to remove. Everyone has different preferences to body hair, but my body hair always made me feel dysphoric. So even though I wasn’t living full time, I’d still do things like shave my legs so I felt more feminine. If you want to also have your hair removed, you can consider laser hair removal on your face (and consider that it's a process that can take time).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Moisturizer is everything</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I took time every day to moisturize my body from head to toe, and I don’t mean just slapping it on in a rush! I really took time to connect with myself — massaging it into my skin, showing my body some love. This really helped me battle my body dysmorphia and it improved my skin; win, win.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I painted my nails</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Similarly to the moisturizing routine, this was a way of showing my body and myself some love. Looking down and seeing a feminine hand is a small but significant way I would affirm my gender to myself during this period where I wasn’t allowed or able to express it to the rest of the world. I wasn’t confident enough to go for a bold color during this period, so I’d just keep them filed and buffed with a coat of clear gloss, but this was enough to keep me feeling feminine during this hard time. Try it!<br /><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /><b>I practiced my voice</b></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I began working on my voice. Sadly for us transgender girls, unlike transgender guys, hormones don’t do anything to our voices, so if you want a more feminine one (not everyone does!) you’ll have to train it yourself. There are loads of YouTube videos that will teach you how do this. It takes time and practice, though, so if this is something you want for yourself, get on with it as soon as possible. Alternatively, if this is something you don’t care about, good for you — that’s one less thing to worry about.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I practiced wearing makeup</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Firstly, let me say that no, you don't have to wear makeup to be a woman. But if makeup is something you want to use, it does take some practice! I've realized that this waiting time is the perfect opportunity to perfect the craft. One way to start learning the basics is to look up "morning routine" videos, where makeup artists show you their daily makeup routine.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I started my wardrobe</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I started building up my female wardrobe, which helped me feel like I was progressing. If you're tight on money, I suggest making a Pinterest board of clothes you want to (and will!) wear.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Eat well and exercise</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Eating well and exercising is something we should all be doing (I ain’t judging you, I can’t talk!), but it's extra important to do so during this time period. There are certain exercises you can do to create a more feminine figure if this is something you want. Squats, for example, will give you the ass of your dreams, no hormones required. Exercise, as we all know, is great for your mental health, too — so that's an added bonus.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Started saving money early</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I started saving my money. Transitioning can be expensive, especially if you want any surgery (though not everyone does, which is totally OK). But even the things like laser hair removal, makeup, and a new wardrobe add up. Saving money means you’re still progressing toward your goal and not staying stagnant during this period of waiting.<br /><strong style="border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: georgia, "Times New Roman", times, serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />I learned to love myself.</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: georgia, "Times New Roman", times, serif; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.33em; margin-top: 1.33em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is the hardest, but most important, tip on this list. You don’t have to be on hormones or living full-time to start learning to love yourself. All the tips on this list have focused on changing yourself physically, but if you don’t learn to love yourself first, you will keep changing yourself until you’ve lost yourself — and even then, you still won’t love yourself. Start from within. If you tell yourself you’ll only be able to start loving yourself once you’ve transitioned, that’s not truly loving yourself. To love yourself means to accept yourself, wholeheartedly, as you are. Loving yourself doesn’t mean you necessarily like everything about your body, but it means you wholeheartedly accept everything about your body, and there’s nothing more beautiful, powerful, or important than that.</div>

<br />
TYPE 1: The prototypical feminine<u><b> androphilic transsexual</b></u> was <i>called a “sissy” by her peers growing up</i>. She avoided rough & tumble activities. Her primary social circle consisted of one or two girls. She actively participated in girls games and imaginary play. Her parents were embarrassed by her femininity, and may or may not have sought professional help in trying to discourage her behavior. <i>As a young teen, she became interested in girls fashion and make-up, often exploring how she might look as a girl by dressing up and experimenting with make-up. This did not involve erotic cross-dressing.</i> She had crushes on boys at school. Her peers thought she might be homosexual. She was hassled, perhaps even bullied, by homophobic boys, but otherwise was reasonably popular in her chosen circle. She was considered very neat and well dressed in boy’s clothes. She sought out opportunities to interact with small children and infants, taking on babysitting jobs. As she approached adulthood, looking at her own nature, her potential future, both romantic and economic, <i>made a rational decision to transition to living as a girl so as to grow up to be a woman socially</i>. Her family may or may not have disowned her in late adolescence. As she is naturally feminine, she found that she was <i>socially and romantically more successful as a woman</i>. <i>She actively dated men while pre-op, but assiduously avoided direct contact with her penis</i>, finding that emotionally uncomfortable. She lived several years as a woman, taking feminizing hormones, before having SRS to improve her sex life, replacing genitalia that she didn’t use with those that she did.<br />

<br />
TYPE 2: The prototypical <b><u>autogynephilic transsexual</u></b> was <i>accepted as a boy as a child</i>, though she wasn’t the most masculine. She was often a “loner”, finding her hobbies and reading to be more rewarding, but still willing and ready to participate in rough & tumble play. She often envied girls and observed them more often than most masculine boys. As she entered puberty, <i>she began erotic cross-dressing in private, often masturbating while dressed, usually with lingerie</i>. She found this shameful and hid her cross-dressing as best she could. She entertained thoughts of living as a woman, often in very idealized situations. As a young adult, she dated women, often finding it necessary to imagine that she was female to “perform”. She typically hid this fact from her dates. She fell in love and found that the previously growing desire to live as a woman abated for a while. She married and had children. Her need to cross-dress… and use autogynephilic ideation grew, as the first blush of their romance matured into committed love. She agonized about it obsessively, trying alternatively to push it out of her thoughts and trying to appease it by cross-dressing. At one point, perhaps in her early 30s, or in her late 50s, a set-back or other significant personal change brought all of these feelings to the fore… and she made the fateful decision that she could no longer ignore her sexuality. After having tried to ignore the cognitive dissonance between her successful social identity as a man, husband, and father, and her obligatory autogynephilic image of being female, <i>concluded that the female image is her “true” image</i>. She then made steps to begin counseling with a gender therapist, obtained prescription for feminizing hormones, and then began the painful steps to living full time as a “transsexual”, since she had too many social connections who know of her previous status as a man. <i>She had SRS within a short time of nominally living as a woman</i>, as she was impatient, feeling like she had waited long enough in her previous life as a man. Her wife may or may not have demanded a divorce.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09091057052239074016noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205687275089516147.post-39447190106895927442016-10-30T12:50:00.001-07:002016-10-30T12:50:45.282-07:00How to Feminize a ManFrom: http://bit.ly/2f2VqhO<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 3;">
<b style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><u>Stage 1</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Shave legs, wax his bikini line. He needs to understand all the things we girls
go through. Ideally make him also shave his balls, cock, and all his pubes.
Keeping smooth for you should be a daily task for him. I love waxing men’s
bottoms and back. Nothing like running your hand over his nice smooth form
bottom.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Once you have him starting to dress, take him shopping for his own clothes. If
he is a suit man, get him to buy skirt suits, maybe, and only maybe allow him a
nice trouser suit so long as its very feminine. The purpose of him buying his
own girlie clothes is to reinforce physiologically that these are his. Let him
choose them, but of course steer him in the right direction.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Don’t forget to reward him for doing these things for you. Give him sex as a
reward. Training a guy is as simple as training a dog. Find out what he needs
(usually sex) and then use that as a reward.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
One great thing to do for both his training and your reward is as follows:-</span></span><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Have some great sex. Tell him it is his reward for being good. But make him
promise to finish you off your way for a change. You might want to tie him up
the first time. One great way is to make sure he is laying on his back so you
can sit on him and ride him. Let him cum deep inside you and fill you up. Then
sit on his face. Yes, that’s right sit on his face and make him lick you. If he
doesn’t start licking immediately grind yourself against him. He soon will get
the message. Make him lick you until you cum again. Secretly he will have
always wanted to do this. The thought of eating his own cum out of you will
reward him and also reinforce your dominance. After a while you should be able
to get him to do it without asking. If he doesn’t or protests tell him no more
sex unless he does. He will soon be lapping it all up.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Don’t just lie there and wait for it to dribble out so you get the wet spot, or
run to the toilet to let it drain out. Make your man clean up his own mess.
After all he expects you to suck him and swallow it all, so why shouldn’t he do
it too.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><u>Stage 2</u></b><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Strap on dildos and toys. I bet your man is always wanting you to use toys?
Does he always want to have anal sex? Most guys have this thing about anal.
They think it’s so great. This stems from their own desires to try it. So, I
say why not, let them try it.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Next time your man tries to have anal sex, stop him and make him promise that
you can return the favor, or better still do it to him first! This is where the
great strap on dildo comes in (or if not a suitable vibrator or other toy).</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
The strap on is best. You might want to tie him up for the first time again.
Best way is to get him on all fours (the same way he likes to do you) Tie his
hands in front of him and maybe his legs to the end of the bed so he can’t
escape. You might need to prop him up on pillows too. Sounds familiar ?</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Next use lots of lubrication. He is going to be tight (just like you were) and
remember be gentle (just like he was!). The first time go very slow and just
work the tip in and out, each time sliding in a little deeper. It won’t take
long before you can gently push the whole dildo inside. Resist the urge to
start pumping it just yet. Let it slide all the way and just stay there for a
while. Rub his back and bottom, maybe spank him gently (like he does you). Then
hold his hips and slowly start to pump it. Just little pumps to start with.
Work it gently and slowly and you will soon find that you can pull almost all
the way out and then push slowly back in again. Once you get to this stage,
increase the speed a little but not too fast or hard. The first session should
be maybe no more than 5 mins pumping gently. Don’t be surprised if he cums by accident
as he will love it. Try to make sure he doesn’t, but sometimes he will lose
control.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
After you have finished with him, then if you promised he could do you, you
must fulfil your promise. If you promised something else or you let him do you
first, then make sure you whatever you promised him you keep to. Remember we
want this to be a long-term thing for him.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
If you do it right, you can make every sex session into him getting it first.
If you buy the right sort of strap on dildo, you will get immense pleasure from
doing him. Some girls find that they cum more when doing it to him, than they
do when he does them.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Sometimes you might just want to do him and not let him do you. I just find it
so good for stress relief. I have a strap on dildo that is double ended and has
a clit </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">simulator</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> on it to. When I come back from work stressed, I strap this
on and give my man a good session. By the time I am done with him I am de
stressed. If he is lucky I then let him have a go with me, but often I just let
him stew for a bit or give him a quick blow job.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Once you have trained him with the strap on and other toys (I make him wear
love balls a lot of the time) They drive him wild and keep him horny (they
drive me wild too, so I often wear them), you have established your dominance
almost fully.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
You now have him dressing in what you want him to wear, you have sex your way
and when you want it. You will be the dominant sexual partner, and rightfully
get the pleasure you want.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
He will now have an interest in coming shopping with you. You can shop together
for shoes, clothes and undies. He will appreciate this seasons fashions and
what colors go (hopefully), and will understand that perhaps stiletto heels
although sexy are not the best type of shoes for all occasions.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
He will also understand why you choose the color and style of underwear you do
and not always the most colorful sexy, lacy thing you can find. He will know
that boring cotton panties are more comfy than the skimpy lacy g string he
likes. He will appreciate the difference between tights and stockings and their
benefits to him.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
He will also now appreciate the issues of waxing, shaving, make up, and will
understand just how long it takes to get ready to go out.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
With this new-found understanding comes a willingness to also please you in
other ways. Round the house he will be more willing to clean up, and do
housework. Reward him in ways that best suit his duties, but very soon you
could have a fully trained house maid too.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Imagine, a clean and tidy house, and a guy that gives you sex your way whenever
you want it, and who appreciates all your needs. A fun partner to share
shopping trips with and who is enthusiastic about your desires, yet to outward
appearance when he is at work or with his friends he is just a regular guy.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
What a perfect time you could have.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
It might not be easy to get every guy to this stage, and some will just not
work out that way. However, it is worth trying some or all these ideas.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><u>Step 3</u></b><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
This is for the girl who wants to take the whole thing to a much higher level.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
We have gone through the basics, and now you have a guy who is just as happy
(if not more so) dressed as a girl, feminized in his everyday life and
dominated in sex. This might be perfect for some, but others of you out there
might want to go further.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
All the areas of stages 1 and 2 can be reversed or stopped, but stage 3 is
difficult to stop or revere once it starts.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
Estrogen and progesterone supplements. These will help him develop more
feminine features and characteristics. It is only recommended you use these if
this is something you want him to have. If this is what you desire then you can
either add them to his food without him knowing or make him take them with his
knowledge.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
These will help him lose body hair, and get a more feminine figure. However,
they may have an adverse effect on his penis and balls. He might find it harder
to get an erection. This might be great if you are just into doing him with
your strap on, but if you do like him giving you a good session then you may be
disappointed. It is not always the case, and by no means does it stop him
having sex.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
The other area you could go for is minor cosmetic surgery. If you/he is brave
enough, go for very small breast implants. Just enough to give him maybe an A
cup (unless he is willing to go for something bigger). This size is just hard
enough for him to hide, yet just big enough to let him show them off when he
wants. Personally, I would prefer a full B or even C cup, but depending on his
job this might be difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Several informants who described their sexual attraction to,
sexual fantasies about, or sexual interactions with men perceptively observed that
their interest in men primarily reflected their erotic desire to have their femininity
validated:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am clearly much more physically attracted to women than men.
Yet my primary fantasies are about being a woman with a man. As I think about this,
I would concede that this may have much more to do with feminine validation than
attraction. The very idea of being desired by a heterosexual man is erotic for me.
(018)<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before the transition process started, I often fantasized I was
a woman having sex with a man. A little while into transition, my sexual submission
with men seemed to validate my feminine feelings. To have intercourse with men seems
to be as womanly as anyone can get. (213)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had sex with a real man. He made me feel Iike literally a whole
new person. It is as if l had finally discovered sex; like having sex with a man
who affirmed my womanhood was some kind of ultimate fantasy. (035)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have had sexual encounters with eight men. These have been
generally less than ideal, since they have all had trouble maintaining erections.
None the less, I found I enjoyed the physical aspects of this type of sex and felt
I was confirming my womanhood by being a passive partner. (068)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I fantasized about being penetrated by a man and wanted a boyfriend
to confirm my femininity. (200)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a postoperative transsexual. I have found that I get the
most sexually excited now when I fantasize about being sexy and beautiful and when
someone else sees me that way. In fact, adoration from someone else plays into it.
(069)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It occurred to me that I should consider sex with men - what
better way to confirm my new status as a woman! The idea of sex with men used to
disgust me, but little by little that changed, and I became tremendously turned
on by the superior physical strength men have and my growing ability to turn them
on just by flaunting my stuff. Getting men aroused gives me an incredible sexual
thrill and confirms my desirability as a woman. (077)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I met a man who fell in love with me. When I was with him, I
was happy to be submissive, I was excited to be looked after and to feel pretty
and sexy. (214)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I sometimes have the sense that what really thrills me is not
my sexual partner (i.e., the supposed object of desire) but rather what he makes
me feel like. I would feel thrilled to be a sexy woman capable of arousing a man
- a real, straight, masculine man. (189)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I am a woman, I want to be with a man, acting like a woman,
being treated like a woman and being loved like a woman. I know that this would
be the ultimate for me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was living full-time. I had a boyfriend that I communicated
with by e-mail. I even had a date with him when he was in my town. I enjoyed very
much being treated like a lady. (215)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am powerfully sexually excited by the idea of being desired
by men and by the notion of being thought of as beautiful. The turn on is not me,
but all the clothes. (216)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In all of the preceding narrative excerpts, the informants emphasized
the validation they experienced from real or fantasized interactions with men. They
described how the real or imagined men they interacted with made them feel about
themselves: womanly, desirable, submissive, sexy, beautiful, attractive. They notably
did not emphasize how they felt about specific men or about men in general (e.g.,
they did not describe falling in love with specific men or feeling aroused by specific
men's bodies - or by men's bodies generally).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One informant reported that she experienced similar feelings
of validation of her womanhood after being anally penetrated by another preoperative
MtF transsexual:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was with an Asian pre-op. She was totally functional, and I
bottomed (anal) for her for about a half hour. It didn't hurt at all and I felt
so feminine. I loved that I could cause a penis to orgasm the same way a natal
girl can. It was so great to be totally submissive. I loved being an object of pleasure
for someone. (034)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br /></div>
As this informant suggested, the ability to take a woman's sexual
role (or something like it) in relation to another person’s penis is sometimes all
that is necessary to experience validation of one's femininity. The gender of the
person who possesses the penis may be of secondary importance.<br />

There are a variety of reasons why you might want to pretend

If you are questioning your

enhance your feminine look. When you are choosing a wig, make sure that you purchase one that is high quality if you want your look to be more convincing.

look feminine and it can also provide some coverage from masculine features such
as a square jaw, but having long hair is not absolutely necessary if you are just
dressing up to see how it feels. If you have short hair, then you can also try styling
it in a feminine way. For example, you can use mousse and curl the longer pieces, or wear an accessory, such
as a headband or barrette.<o:p></o:p></div>

Wear women’s clothing. Wearing women’s clothing is an essential
part of looking like a girl. Lots of girls wear unisex clothing, such as pants,
jeans, and t-shirts. However, dresses are your best bet for drag shows because they are flashier. If you just want to get a feel for what it
is like to dress as a girl, then wearing a dress or a skirt with a girl’s top will
give you a better idea.</div>

If you are experimenting with
women’s clothing because you want to see how it feels or possible pass as a woman
in public, then try starting out with some ballet flats, some low heel dress shoes,
or a fashionable pair of sandals. Make sure that your toenails
are painted if you will be baring your toes.<br />

Shave facial hair, legs, and armpits. Getting rid of excess facial
hair, armpit hair, and leg hair is crucial when dressing as a woman. Having visible
facial hair can be a dead giveaway, so make sure that you give yourself a close shave before you start making the transformation.</div>

The cup sizes are lettered,

end. You can choose any cup size you like, but keep in mind that choosing a large
cup size may make it hard to fit into some clothing. To play it safe, go for a B

Practice your walk. While there is no one way to walk like a girl,
you may want to practice walking in a more feminine way. Instead of taking straight,
hard strides, try to walk with a bit of a sway to your hips and lightness in your step. Unless you are going for an over the top walk, such
as for a drag show, try not to place your feet directly in front of each other or
pretend you are walking on a line because this can make your walk look too exaggerated.</div>

Sit with your ankles or legs crossed. A masculine way of sitting
is with legs spread wide and arms out to take up more space. Instead, keep your
knees together and your elbows in close to your body. You can cross your ankles
or cross your knees if you feel comfortable doing so. This seated position will
help to give you a more feminine appearance.</div>

Smile and laugh often. Some women tend to smile and laugh more
than men. Smiling and laughing more often can help you to appear more feminine,
so try to smile and laugh a lot. Unless it is part of your drag show or character, you don’t need to wear a big grin constantly or laugh
all of the time. If you are just trying to get a feel for more feminine mannerisms,
then try to smile and laugh a little more than you usually would.</div>

obviously has its perks for some, and all the extra adventures can enhance your
sex life. But she doesn’t have to be truly bisexual (in the most proper sense
of the word) for the erotic feminine-loving side of her to emerge (with you
present).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are two
versions of women who get it on with other women: the bisexual woman and the
bi-curious woman. While bi-curious women are playful and ready to experiment
with their sexuality just for fun, bisexual women may or may not be willing to
ask you to join in on their girl-on-girl escapades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Being bisexual is not something to be made light of. It can be extremely
confusing and heartbreaking, and it might be difficult to deal with
emotionally. A bisexual woman is not there for your erotic entertainment, so if
you want to spend your time with a bisexual woman, get that out of your head —
this is not what this relationship is about. If your girlfriend comes out of
the closet, treat it the same as if she told you she’s a lesbian: with kindness
and care. If she decides that she would like to experiment with you and others,
good for you both. If not, don’t push it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Women who love other women and can appreciate their finer qualities are gems —
they are generally not threatened by the beauty of another, and can join you in
admiring them. Everyone loves pretty things, and women overall tend to be very
pretty things. This is certainly not a definitive clue, but if she is able to
appreciate the sex appeal of a woman, then it means her mind is open to
observing such things… and maybe, just maybe, it’s also open to more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If she gets with girls — or has done so in the past — it is likely enough that
it will get bought up at some point. With all the woman-smooching that’s been
going on in the last 10 or so years (apparently everyone is doing it or has
done it), it is highly likely that she has done it at some stage. Whether she
liked it or not, and wants to repeat the experience, however, is another story.
You will need to probe for more information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Her loving lesbian porn is a dead giveaway. This will tell you a lot more than
any other clue. If she can actually watch and enjoy a woman being pleasured by
another woman, then it is highly likely that she wouldn’t mind a bit of that
action herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This can be a good clue, but don’t let your imagination run too rampant — it
probably isn’t the girl you wish it was, and making up huge fantasies about
your girl and her friends is likely to land you in trouble. Hinting will
probably get you in trouble if you’re wrong, so keep it to yourself until you
can see what is clearly going on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The easiest way to find out what she likes is to ask her. Amazing, I know, but
true. She will probably not have a problem telling you about her experiences,
desires and fantasies involving other women. She will be aware that it is one
of man’s most sought-after experiences, and because of that, she’ll probably be
quite willing to share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The kind of
conversation starter you could try is, “When was the first time you kissed a
girl?” This assumes she has, and will no doubt make her giggle as she relates
the story — or, it enables you to ask if she would like to (hypothetically, of
course). Keep it light, keep it sexy, and maybe you’ll get what you want. Be
respectful, be kind, and whatever you do, don’t push your luck — it has a way
of backfiring…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Mark says that a lot of men who hide their attraction to
transgender women are "trying to protect themselves from this gay label
and being judged by society," but tells them they're not gay, and that
"finding transgender people attractive is the most natural thing in the
world. They are beautiful."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 18pt; margin: 1rem 47.5938px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Mark's current partner, a transgender woman named Lorraina,
is also interviewed talking about how she'd told her mother at a young age that
she wanted to be a girl and her family was the "holy grail" in
terms of how supportive they were. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 18pt; margin: 1rem 47.5938px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Mark and Lorraina both seem like incredibly awesome people, which
is not so much the case with Morris, 41, who says that having sex with
transgender women is "more easy," with his theory being that
"not everybody likes it, to go with transgender" and that
fact makes them easier to sleep with. He also calls transgender women
Ferraris, thereby cementing himself as the resident frat bro. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Last year, after
decades of living a double life, Matt was finally ready for a partner. He
became serious about finding the right trans woman to spend his life with. But
where to look? There's been an active market for trans personal ads on
Craigslist for years. Clicking into the m4t category of Misc. Romance, you'll
find reams of posts by trans amorous men. There is a weighty symbolism to
Craigslist's subcategories: Casual Encounters is, as one would expect, the most
popular. If you're cruising there, all bets are off. As the guys see it, social
graces are checked at the door. Then, over in Misc. Romance, again and again,
you'll find posts by guys professing their exhaustion with Casual Encounters.
They've had enough; they want more. There is a tenderness to the forum—the same
users post diligently week after week in pursuit of their transgender soul
mate, and stock photos of roses often accompany their ads.</span><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt; padding: 0in;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">INTRODUCTION</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This primer is about the sex-lives of transvestites. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A transvestite may be characterized as being sexually
schizophrenic, i.e., has two views about his sexual drive and identity. His
libido houses an aggressive male attitude about sex, but also a passive female
attitude. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A transvestite is continuously conflicted about his sexual
feelings. Often a transvestite will manifest heterosexual feelings when he is
with a woman, and completely opposite passive feelings when he is with a
man. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Stage 1 - FANTASY</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It is commonly believed that men fantasize more than women.
Occasionally people will extend their fantasies to their real lives. The
reality can work out okay or can ruin lives. For transvestites, their fantasies
are about being women; living their lived as females. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2 - COMPULSION</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Sometimes a transvestite will consider himself ready to go out in
public before he has learned how to pass. It is a compulsion - the need for
acceptance of him for what he is. The lines are blurred and he may become upset
when people do not accept him as readily as he thinks they should.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">He begins by going out for walks at night. Then it will gravitate
to going for drives. When he arrives home safe and sound, he feels a great
sense of elation at having faced the World in his female persona. This elation
often leads to masturbation.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
3 - MASTURBATION</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Most transvestites attempt to transform themselves into their
perception of an attractive sexy woman. Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn’t. Either way, they are usually content with how they look in the mirror.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Sexual relief usually comes in the form of masturbation while admiring
themselves in the mirror. While masturbating, they fantasize about having been
born a real woman and the fun they could have by being made love to by
men. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">In many cases, masturbation is the extent of their sexual
activity. They either wish it won't go further, or they don't know how. It is a
lonely existence. Many transvestites book into hotel rooms so that they can put
on their outfits and achieve climax through masturbation.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
4 - ORAL SEX</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some transvestites will muster the courage to go out in public.
Usually this will be a gay pub, where he feels he will be accepted. He will then
make friends with gays and bisexuals, and sooner or later he will end up alone
with a man. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXbGzZoAp9ynP4tG01n7M8tJTdaGBfg-X-3smaHmKEFfksI4Np87_aWQeSUwDVRpeyCtLcjzFqiaNfZqwBTk84Hgr6NNAqo3EODQUqsax5CEi9LZE6NSBgRybX_RbjMZikcfFe9NdoAAP6/s1600/Transvestite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXbGzZoAp9ynP4tG01n7M8tJTdaGBfg-X-3smaHmKEFfksI4Np87_aWQeSUwDVRpeyCtLcjzFqiaNfZqwBTk84Hgr6NNAqo3EODQUqsax5CEi9LZE6NSBgRybX_RbjMZikcfFe9NdoAAP6/s320/Transvestite.jpg" width="242" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
When he is with a man, some form of sex will occur. Initially, the transvestite
will not want to be the recipient of anal sex - no matter how much he has fantasized
about it. He will want his first sexual experience in his female persona to be
restricted to oral sex. The person he is with will usually be patient, and not
insist on fucking him. The two will then engage in mutual fondling which after
a while will result in the transvestite sucking the man's cock.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
First attempts at oral sex will usually continue for some time. When the man is
ready to climax, he will either pull out and cum on his face, or he will
ejaculate in transvestite's mouth. If it is the first cock he has sucked, the
transvestite will find the taste of semen hard to swallow, and will spit it
out. After a while, he will develop a taste for it. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">
The act of sucking a man's cock appeals to the passive, submissive nature of a
transvestite. Normally, he will kneel at the man's feet and allow the man to
place his cock in his mouth. Once a transvestite has sucked his first cock, he
won't be able to get enough. He will do everything he can to be able to perform
oral sex on men as often as possible. For some transvestites this will be
enough; they won't want to take sexual matters any further. It will be
sufficient to satisfy their need for role-</span><span style="font-size: 18px;">fulfillment</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
5 - PENETRATIVE SEX</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Many transvestites do not stop at oral sex. They want to
experience, and be the recipient of, penetrative sex. It is common for
transvestites to give this a great deal of thought. The question of health
arises as well as the matter of pain that anal sex causes. Most transvestites
will have experimented on themselves and they will be aware of the painfulness
of anal penetration. In the end, the need to experience submissive sex will
triumph.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Sometimes they will try-out anal sex with another transvestite, or will with a
man. After the first few experiences, they will want to do with ordinary men.
There are no shortage of men who want to fuck transvestites, and so before long
they will find themselves able to have penetrative sex with a number of men. To
many transvestites, this is role-fulfillment. For some, it is not enough. They will
choose to go the whole route - seeking gender reassignment surgery.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
6 - BEYOND PENETRATIVE SEX</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">In some cases, oral and penetrative sex are not enough. It will
not fully satisfy their submissiveness and need to be dominated by men. These
will actively seek-out men for whom rough-sex is their preference. Many men
like to have sex with transvestites because they can do anything to them -
things that real women wouldn't allow. This includes whipping and using them as
toilets. Men like this get off on this sort of thing.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Transvestite prostitutes are rarely surprised at anger many men feel. Many men
are unhappy in their marriages. Although most men just want oral sex or a fuck,
some want to beat the transvestite until they achieved an erection, and then
fuck them as forcibly as they can.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
CONCLUSION</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As may be seen from above, a transvestite's sex-life is more than
a little complicated. It is further complicated by the indisputable fact that
most transvestites - unless they are homosexual - don't like the physical
sexual side of their lives. It does nothing for them physically - many don't
achieve erections when they are being used by men for sex. It does a mental
thing - it fulfills their perception of their passive female side. It is simply
role-fulfillment.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHunJt2B9q7yLBfFA3dzqIVdPD_ZjhkzM9jMa1Hc2VApc_lHCuXOVWwEBQ-75RpfJe5JHhRC2EbwfLzdj5JRPUyWoMOsyJs21xxEn7c9GiSSRgojjOcM9XiDeOO__CZp3nYs0ZHQHZqq5/s1600/GIRL+woman-using-bathroom-pf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHunJt2B9q7yLBfFA3dzqIVdPD_ZjhkzM9jMa1Hc2VApc_lHCuXOVWwEBQ-75RpfJe5JHhRC2EbwfLzdj5JRPUyWoMOsyJs21xxEn7c9GiSSRgojjOcM9XiDeOO__CZp3nYs0ZHQHZqq5/s320/GIRL+woman-using-bathroom-pf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The results of SRS are
made immediately obvious to the post-op woman by one important effect: She now
has to "sit down to pee". Peeing isn't as easy as before, and every
time you pee you are reminded that you are now a girl, reminded in the same way
that all the other girls are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On the other hand, there
is a really great advantage to having female genitals that soon becomes obvious
too: Your sexual arousal is no longer "visible to others". Just as
for any other woman, the post-op woman does not have to constantly suppress her
arousal like men do. She can let herself get aroused any time she wants to,
and can stay aroused for long periods of time without others "seeing
anything", just as many other women do (this is another reason so many
women smile a lot!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's great to be able to
engage in fantasies and visualizations and get aroused at any time you want to.
This freedom can help a woman create and firmly establish a healthy libido. She
can hook-up her brain with her genitals without much "censorship"
going on. Even though her libido is not as heavily stimulated by the large
doses of testosterone that men have, neither does she have to tame and control
her libido like men do theirs. Therefore, on balance, a woman can generally
feel "sexy" much more of the time than a man can.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lynn speculates that a
lot of men have problems with getting erections simply because they have to
constantly avoid having erections. In other words, they get much more practice
in avoiding erections than they do in getting them! Women do not need to
"censor" their arousal in that way. If they have no religious or
other types of hang-ups about sex and lovemaking, they can easily practice and
enjoy getting aroused as much as they like, and can develop very healthy
libidos as a result. This advantage can help the post-op woman get into her
sexuality fairly quickly and help her learn a lot in just the first year or two
post-op.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once she begins
experiencing arousal and engaging in sexual activities, one major thing
becomes immediately obvious. Orgasm feels really different as a woman. It may
not be quite as easy to achieve and may take longer to achieve, but it can be a
much more powerful sensation than any she ever experienced before as a boy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Following SRS, the
perfunctory feeling of male ejaculation during orgasm is gone forever. Instead,
you can build up your sexual arousal to a much higher level without ejaculation
bringing things to a halt. It may take more time to reach it, but you can now
experience a more powerful orgasm - with the old male ejaculation feeling now
replaced by an intense neural discharge and spasm throughout the entire genital
area during orgasm. It feels kind of like you are being gently stimulated with
electricity inside and throughout your entire genital region. The experience
can vary a lot from orgasm to orgasm in the way in which the "neural halo
and spasmodic colors" of the orgasm develop, spread, and feel. It seems
almost as if most men so easily and quickly reach ejaculation that they never
manage to get "high enough" sexually to trigger this more powerful
form of orgasm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition, there are
real differences in "body feelings" during lovemaking between the
male and female experience (although many of these feelings will be
"female" in form for pre-op TS women too). Most males are usually
stimulated visually by their partner's body-appearance. Once aroused, they
usually feel a growing "tightness inside" and a desire to "grab
and hold and thrust and penetrate". This desire comes on suddenly, and
quickly becomes quite overpowering, with most of the sexual sensations coming
only from within the penis itself. However, when the release of orgasm occurs, it
is usually much more perfunctory than for a woman, being accompanied by a few
spurts of semen and a few grunts and that's it. The ejaculation is then
followed by quite a sudden letdown and loss of any interest in sexual activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sexual experience
for the post-op woman is much more "internal" within and throughout
her whole body than for a male. The arousal may start in her genitals, but then
can spread all through her lower body, especially inside the muscles, and her
skin all over her body becomes more sensitized to caressing and touching.
Instead of sexual arousal being just in the genitals as in a male, the estrogen
seems to also enable a powerful "heat" to fill the woman's whole body
once she is aroused - and especially once she is being penetrated. Having this
heat come over her in the absence of a partner, and without any satisfaction,
can make her feel like "climbing the walls" or "thrashing around
in her bed".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since her whole body
becomes much more sensitive to touch as she get fully aroused, she is not
stimulated so much by her partner's appearance as by the way he (or she)
touches her and manipulates her body and the way his (or her) voice sounds. She
doesn't feel the hard focused drive to quickly achieve orgasm as do males, but
instead feels a desire to let go and thrash around and be "handled"
and gradually heighten her erotic feelings. It isn't what she is seeing that
counts as much as what she is feeling and hearing and how her body is being
manipulated by her partner, as she yields to the wonders of sexual heat and
lovemaking. And usually she'll like to take some time to do this and enjoy
this, instead of just "rushing for ejaculation" like most guys do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, she will get up
on a "plateau" and realize that an orgasm is going to come. This is a
truly wonderful feeling. At some point, the orgasm starts and spreads
throughout her genital area, with the genital nerves becoming tremendously
sensitized as it spreads. The sensation of the orgasm will vary a lot from
orgasm to orgasm (more variably than in the male). Sometimes it will be weak,
but sometimes it can be amazingly intense, and the feeling varies a lot in form
and "color" from orgasm to orgasm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just like natal women,
trans women often experience a strong urge to "vocalize" just before
and during orgasm - moaning, squealing, screaming and making other loud noises
while they come. The sound and internal body sensation of these vocalizations
can greatly heighten the intensity of the orgasmic experience for many women.
Postop women shouldn't be afraid to let out loud moans or screams when they
come. It is perfectly natural, and can help transform ordinary orgasms into
ecstatic ones. In contrast, very few men vocalize when they ejaculate, other
than making a few grunts. Perhaps the difference is hormonal, with testosterone
blocking these emotional vocalizations, just as it blocks emotions such as
"crying" in males.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After climax the trans
woman feels a sudden relaxing and calming effect that is somewhat similar to
what it is like for boys. But unlike when she was a boy, she may often feel
aroused and sexy again rather soon after having sex, often getting firm
internal erections again soon after her orgasms. Even though it may be
difficult for her to achieve orgasm again until some time has passed (a few
hours to a day or so), she may feel a desire for sex again right away anyways.
This re-arousal is a really wonderful feeling, and can enable sweet sessions
of touching and snuggling with a loving partner after intercourse.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I was married and wanted to have a baby. My husband and I had a difficult time conceiving and I took fertility
drugs. It was a miracle. Soon I was pregnant and all was going well. A
sonogram revealed I was carrying twins. Later, I discovered one was girl and the
other a boy. The last few months of the pregnancy were very difficult for me. I was confined to bed rest for eight weeks before I delivered. The
delivery was equally. The boy came first and minutes later the
girl. My girl was born with health problems and despite the very best efforts
of our doctors we lost her at two and a half months,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
I went into a deep depression. I so wanted a little girl, like most mothers, to dress pretty, style her hair and later teach her how to wear makeup and
all the things a girl needs to know. The depression worsened. I never returned to
work. We struggled with money and had a sexless relationship until my husband
left me. <span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">At this time. I lost my mind and became a true mental case. I decided I would have the daughter I wanted. I returned to work to support my family. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">I started dressing my son in girl's clothing and calling him by the name we picked
for our daughter. My mother would keep him during the day and as soon as I picked
him up, I changed his clothes back to being my daughter. About a year later, I got a
wonderful opportunity to move to another state and work from my home giving me
time to be with my daughter. I got licensed as a home school teacher so I could keep her to myself, and away from the public schools. When she was about eight, I began slipping estrogen and progesterone into her food to feminize her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">At puberty, she had beautiful smooth
skin, a pretty feminine face, long brown hair and a slim feminine body. But she knew something was different. I sat with her and cried and told her the
whole sad twisted story. She cried too not totally understanding what I had put
her through. But she accepted it as I explained I couldn't reverse what I had done
to her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="line-height: 16.5pt;">Now she is 15 and is a beautiful young girl. She has grown perfect
breasts, a shapely rear and hips and is now on real hormone therapy. I make a
good living and have been saving for her gender reassignment surgery when she
become old enough.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Do you live and dress as a women full time or most of the time? You imply that a woman should just forceably make a man feminized? A smart one manipulates him so he thinks he has a choice but she is in control. if you give him some leeway, but dominate him, it is much easier.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">My husband is completely feminized. He is now a woman full-time at my request. He has completely feminized our three sons and, while I was cautious about this, I let him do it with some help from me because it was what I really wanted. But it was his idea. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I masterminded the entire plan. He is my best friend and lover but still expects me to be in control, support the family and be the decision maker. My new friend that I met a few months ago has a husband similar to mine, except he feminized himself.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">At her suggestion, she got him to dress up once in a while for fun and eventually he just liked it so much, he completely feminized himself with hormones. He is very much a woman, but like my husband, still has some use of his male member. They are a loving couple and they get along great. He took it upon himself to feminize their two sons. Without her knowledge, he began giving the boys testosterone suppressing medication when they were 8 and 9. After a couple of years, he started them on light doses of hormones and the male characteristics have almost been completely suppressed.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">She did not figure it out until, at early puberty, their bodies were becoming very girlish. Today they are two very nice looking young girls now at 16 and 17.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">They have attended school as girls for the last 4 or 5 years and are completely accepted a such. They have breasts, a narrow waist and round hips. Their parents told the school administrators that they were both born with both male and female organs (very rare) and the school just accepted it. They have been exempt from most PhysEd and other contact situations.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">They still have male members but they never really developed beyond that of about a 7 year old boy. Their testicles are almost non-existent and, of course, they are sterile because of the hormones. The husband has been on hormones for years. He was a chubby man before and the hormones alone gave him a very feminine body. Initially, he added a lot of weight, mostly on his thighs, chest and stomach. He was a very nice looking size 16, but after a few more years he is now a size 20 because a lot of extra weight went to his stomach. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Today he looks great from the chest up but really looks like a pregnant woman. He has very soft features, beautiful silky looking hair. He looks like a very attractive big woman. He has a 42DD chest and regularly wears very attractive tops that emphasize his cleavage. His likes his breasts.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;">He seems happy and is a truly remarkable person. My own husband could use some more on top but he definitely looks like a knockout with his narrow waist and round bottom. He fits perfectly into most size 10 dresses. His transition from a pantie-wearing man when I met him to a beautiful blonde knockout is my crowning accomplishment. Plus my 3 sissy boys are fantastic. We are a very loving family.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09091057052239074016noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205687275089516147.post-29252222139227111802016-04-18T22:23:00.001-07:002016-04-18T22:23:23.881-07:00How to Pass as a Woman<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>How to "Pass" As a Woman</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What does it mean to be a woman? Our appearance isn’t always determined by our chromosomes. Some men have typically </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">feminine traits, and some women have masculine features, too. Our gender in made up of a variety of beliefs, characteristics,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and behaviors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Passing as a woman doesn’t just involve wearing makeup and stockings. There is a complex set of traits to </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">keep in mind as well. For individuals assigned male at birth, blending as a woman can be a challenging, even frightening </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">endeavor. Whether you are transgender or just having fun, this article will help you achieve convincing femininity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 Consider the whole package. Take time to decide what type of woman you want to look like. This greatly </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">influences the other steps. How old are you? What is your body type? What kind of style do you want? Envision </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the woman you will become. You can be classy, provocative, trendy, or even angelic. What you want to look like will </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">change over time, and outfit choices vary from day to day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember to always dress for the occasion and take your daily life into account. If you will be passing as a </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">woman on a regular basis and work in a professional environment, provocative or flashy clothing will not be </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">appropriate. If you’re going out clubbing, wearing more revealing clothes is fine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you’re passing as a woman for a party or special event, go all out. Be over the top in your clothing choices. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use your close female friends looks for fashion inspiration. Notice what aspects of their outfits you like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 Take a shower. Showering is the first step to looking like a woman. So much is done in the shower, including </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shaving, washing your hair, and getting generally clean. Females are known for having smooth skin, clean and </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shiny hair, and a clean body, so take your time. You may also need to spend some money on this step.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buy quality razors to shave with. Cheap razors can irritate skin, and your body hair will grow back quickly. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Invest in shampoo and conditioner that smell nicely. Feminine products are scented differently from male </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">products. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get a loofah and body wash. This will help exfoliate your skin and leave it clean and smooth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 Lose the stubble. After you’ve washed your body and shampooed your hair, a close shave is a must for passing </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as a woman. Use a new razor and take your time. Also, be gentle; you don't want to irritate your skin. Using plenty </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of shaving cream and razors with three or more blades will keep razor burn to a minimum. If you really want to keep </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">stubble away, you can try waxing, electrolysis, or even permanent laser hair removal, but consult with a professional </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shave your entire body, too. If you haven't done this ever or in a while, be prepared to spend a lot of time in the </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">shower. You might go through multiple razor blades, so keep extra on hand. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For more sensitive areas like your belly or armpits, avoid using too many strokes. Instead, use a few long, even </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">strokes against the grain of the hair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use moisturizer after shaving. This will give your skin a soft, feminine feel while soothing freshly shaven skin. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose a scent you like, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 Pluck your eyebrows. Women generally have thinner eyebrows than men. Remove stray hairs by plucking them </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">firmly from their roots. For highly stylized brows, you may want to seek a professional, but plucking eyebrows can </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">easily be done at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The start of your brows should be about one inch above the inner corner of your eye. Remove the strays in </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">between.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09091057052239074016noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205687275089516147.post-60742689132452369072016-04-18T22:14:00.000-07:002016-04-18T22:15:23.088-07:00How to be Feminine<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Do you want to enhance your feminine side? If you really want to embrace your inner lady, then you have to adopt the mindset of a more traditional woman and cultivate grace, politeness and capability. If you want to project a feminine image, just follow these steps.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />1 Wear the correct clothes for your body shape and size ones </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">that are pretty and modest. Start wearing skirts instead of pants or jeans — nothing works better at defining you as a girl who cherishes her femininity. A skirt looks cute paired with a blouse, belt and flats. Don't wear skirts too short. The right length is just above the knee so you look demure and nice. Don't fall for the 'girly' trap of wearing pink or baby blue, if you look great in black or navy blue or perhaps maroon. Nothing really beats a classic pencil skirt, while a pleated skirt can be both cute and </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">comfortable. If you've been wearing jeans for years, wearing a skirt will be a revelation; it will make you feel classy and feminine, especially when you're out with friends who are all wearing jeans or if you're the only girl at work wearing a skirt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dresses (fit & flare dresses with a belt) are sweet too. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Always wear hosiery rather than bare legs. Go for the classic sheer look and avoid patterns. Tan or nearly black are also great colors to choose. Your skirt will help you enjoy the feeling of having your legs on display, so never wear opaque.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wear flat shoes if you don't like heels. The key is to choose something simple and classy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Avoid the "just rolled out of bed" look. Don't wear anything that hides your shape. Whatever you wear, people should be able to tell you've put some time and effort into putting your look together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 Wear a little makeup. This step is not necessary, but it will help make you look a little more feminine. Red and pink lipstick and neutral eyeshadows will help to create a feminine look. But remember, you do not need makeup. Wear it only if you want to. If you're not comfortable with makeup, then so be it. If you're really opposed to makeup, make sure your lips are moist by wearing lip balm whenever you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 Accessorize. In addition to your clothes and makeup, you should spend some time finding the perfect accessories to go with your wardrobe. You don't need a box full of accessories just </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a few key items can help tie your look together and can make you look more feminine. Here are some items to consider as you work on your more feminine look:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A pretty silk scarf</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pearl earrings or other studs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A cute headband</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A ribbon hair barrette</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some thin silver bracelets</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rings that are cute, but not too chunky or flashy</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4 Love every inch of your body. Your body is what makes you female, so how can you be feminine if you don't embrace your female form? A woman's body naturally has a higher body fat percentage than that of a man, so don't dismiss your curves. On the other hand, part of loving your body is taking care of it, so maintain a healthy diet, get enough sleep and exercise to stay in shape. Fortunately, you don't have to look like a model to look feminine. Loving every inch of your body doesn't mean flaunting your body or showing it off every chance you get.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09091057052239074016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205687275089516147.post-22027029483450056042016-03-25T12:45:00.000-07:002016-03-25T12:45:46.643-07:00More about Ladyboys<h4 style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #383838; font-family: Oswald, Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 12px 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">

FEMBOY</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A femboy is what some might see as a very feminine gay guy. While some Ladyboy lovers will feel totally un-attracted to femboy types and not like the idea of calling them Ladyboys, in many cases these are simply young Ladyboys who are in their early stages of transition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Due to their circumstances they may not look totally convincing as a girl, they may not dress completely femininely or even have long hair or wear make-up, but something in their mannerisms and demeanor will suggest that they are more feminine than masculine, and it’s likely their friends and peers will already refer to them as a Ladyboy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most Ladyboys in Thailand decide they want to “make the change” at a very young age, but due to a strict school code many are unable to grow their hair long or express their femininity until after they have completed their education, despite the general acceptance of Ladyboys in Thai culture. Even once these young Ladyboys have finished their education it may take many years before they can really live with full freedom and expression, simply because many of the operations they dream of having are expensive and it’s harder to get an honest job if you look like a Ladyboy. Many, however, will still take hormone capsules from a young age to create a more feminine look, often achieving much softer skin and growing small breasts.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #990000; font-family: Oswald, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; margin: 50px 0px 30px; padding: 12px 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
PRE-OP LADYBOY</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A pre-op Ladyboy is the next stage of transition and what many people would call ‘a proper Ladyboy.’</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The term ‘op’ refers to SRS surgery (the operation having their penis removed and a vagina created), and pre-op means they haven’t had this surgery done yet. However, unlike the term femboy, the term pre-op Ladyboy usually refers to someone who looks, dresses and acts extremely femininely all of the time, and in most cases they will also have had breast implants.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most of the Ladyboys you will find working in the bars and gogos of Thailand will be at this stage of their transition, and many will have spent a lot of money on all kinds of surgery, from nose jobs, to cheek and hip implants. In many cases the only operation they have yet to take is the SRS surgery (aka the chop!).</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #990000; font-family: Oswald, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; margin: 50px 0px 30px; padding: 12px 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
POST-OP LADYBOY</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A post-op Ladyboy refers to a Ladyboy that has had SRS surgery and no longer has a penis, but has a man-made vagina in its place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It’s not always easy to tell the difference between a pre-op and post-op as many pre-ops have already had every other operation to look as feminine and lady like as possible, but you are far less likely to find a post-op Ladyboy working in a Ladyboy bar (with the exception of one or two post-op bars such as King’s Corner in Patpong, Bangkok, and Voodoo in Bangkok’s Nana Plaza).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Post-op Ladyboys tend to not be as popular with Ladyboy lovers, which is one reason why many Ladyboys working in bars choose to stay as a pre-op for much longer. Many post-ops will try to pass themselves off as real girls, and the more convincing ones will be allowed to work in ‘girl only’ bars and gogos (you’d probably be shocked if you discovered just how many post-op Ladyboys are making a living as a real girl in some of Thailand’s most popular gogo bars).</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #990000; font-family: Oswald, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; margin: 50px 0px 30px; padding: 12px 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
Blurring of the Boundaries</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As with any talk of gender there are obviously those who don’t fit neatly into given categories and blur such boundaries. You may find that some Ladyboys live their life without ever taking hormones or having any operations, and yet they remain very totally convincing and feminine, while some may have breasts and hip implants and achieve very feminine figures, and yet choose to live a somewhat masculine lifestyle continuing to have some masculine parts to their personality. Then there are Thailand’s drag artists who work alongside the Ladyboys in cabaret shows and often look and act as feminine on stage, but once the show is over choose to remove their dresses and make up and return to a very male role.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Whereas the term Ladyboy and other transgender terms totally destroys the idea of having simple male and female gender categories, to assume that all Ladyboys can neatly fit into such categories as femboy, post-op, and pre-op, is equally as naïve; these are simply terms to loosely describe the types of Ladyboy you are likely to meet in Thailand.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-top-style: solid; border-width: 1px 0px; color: #990000; font-family: Oswald, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; margin: 50px 0px 30px; padding: 12px 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
When is a Ladyboy a LADYBOY?</h2>

Ultimately, many Ladyboys will go through some or all these different stages of transition, and undertake a lot of expensive and painful operations in order to reach their ultimate look and goal. In my opinion, to say that at any stage someone is more a Ladyboy than during other stages would be wrong, especially when considering that their stage of transition is often determined by their financial and/or social circumstance, which should not be factors in determining someone’s gender.</div>

The term Ladyboy perhaps best encompasses a state of mind rather than an achieved physical state, and you will often find that some of the less feminine looking Ladyboys are still very naturally feminine in their behavior, demeanor and nature</div>

Thai Ladyboys Explained</h1>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Just what is a ladyboy? Thailand is famous for them, and any visitor to Thailand will at some stage during their trip, come across these unusual people who are half lady half boy. They work in spas and behind shop counters. Some hotels employ them as receptionists, others are found waitressing or managing in restaurants. And many are also found in the bar scene, prostituting themselves.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Huh! Prostituting themselves? Yes, you read right, they go home with clients – what they get up to, with their ‘half-half’ tackle is a mystery – but there’s enough of them about to suggest that many punters find these ladyboys curious and titillating enough to hire them for the night. Only in Thailand.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
In fact, Thai ladyboys are among the most attractive ‘ladies’ you will see. They certainly take care of themselves and are often so convincing, with their big busts, sexy swagger and perfectly made-up faces, that you wouldn’t know the difference. Actually many a sex tourist has been duped by these ‘hermaphrodites’. If it happens to you don’t be mad or embarrassed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Ladyboys are numerous in Thailand and widely accepted as part of the modern culture. It hasn’t always been like this, but Thailand does have a long history of acceptance and some men wanting to be taken for women. Also, many Thai males are slight in stature and look feminine – their facial features are attractive and graceful and their bodies hairless and smaller boned.</div>
<div align="center" style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
<img alt="Thai Ladyboy" src="http://www.mypattaya.com/images/5220heorshe.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 261px; width: 170px;" /><br />He or She? 1 of the many participants in miss ladyboy contest.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
In recent decades, sophisticated surgery has made it possible for men to become women through plastic surgery to create breasts, as well as changing sex organs. A lifetime prescription of hormones helps keep the testosterone out of their body. Bangkok surgeons have become world famous for performing sex changes or simple cosmetic surgery operations and they are much cheaper. But the reality is, most ladyboys can only afford the breast operation (about 1000 euros) while the organ change costs about 3 times that. Therefore most ladybodys are ‘transvestites’ (ie; dressed as women) rather than ‘transsexuals’ (ie complete sex organ change). In short, they have breasts and a cock – a she-male.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
So, if you met a complete lady (who was a boy) you could have penetrative sex with her, but mostly you will meet a ladyboy – who is more likely to offer you a blowjob. Some men with bi-sexual preferences have gone the ‘whole-hog’ with a ladyboy, but if they are on hormone suppressants they probably won’t even get an erection.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Ladyboys are just regular people desperate to be accepted, and when you meet them there’s no need to avoid them. They try extra hard to be women, and often are the most beautiful of all the women in the room. They’re also desperate for the ultimate object that makes them feel like a real women – and that is: a boyfriend. Don’t be surprised if every ladyboy you ever meet flirts with you.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Since ladyboys are still boys at heart you can expect them to be more forward than girls (especially in bars and discos – where a women smiling aggressively at you is likely to be a ladyboy). They can also be very masculine when angered, and have a reputation for being violent or pushy in a manner you wouldn’t expect from a lady.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Ladyboys are very proactive in getting themselves ‘sorted’. One of the country’s most famous ladyboys is Nong Toom, who went from champion Thai kickboxer to transsexual – documented in the movie "Beautiful Boxer" where his/her trademark was to kiss her defeated opponents on the forehead. Another movie, "Saitree Lex", was made about the true story of a ladyboy volleyball team that won the national championships against the odds – dressed in drag no less!</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
So, how do you spot a ladyboy? Sometimes it’s very difficult and you can easily be deceived. Firstly, there are go go bars that are all ladyboys. Generally they don’t mix with the regular girl bars. Many of them freelance on street corners (they prostitute to raise money to payback the ‘tit’ surgery). They are also the most forward in the discos. If their voice doesn’t give them away, then look for suspiciously thin hips or large feet. But ultimately, it is those with the most perfect breasts (generally Thai Asian women have small boobs), or most exaggerated lady movements that are ladyboys. Good luck!</div>

Though the term is often translated as "transgender", transgender is rarely used in Thailand. Instead Thais use the term</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathoey" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; text-decoration: none;" title="Kathoey">kathoey</a><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">.

Due to this term becoming so broad, many choose to use the English word to explain a homosexual male dressing as a woman as a "ladyboy".</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"> </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">The term can also be meant as an insult, especially to those who are trying to alter their identity. Ladyboys suggest that they are still men who are merely dressed as women.</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"> </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">The term is used rather loosely at times and can be used to refer to any male who possesses feminine qualities. Personally most of kathoeys prefer to call themselves "a transformed goddess" or "a second type of woman".</span></h2>
