Can anyone help me with a gender issue? I'm not sure?

Question

I'm not sure when i actually started dressing up in female clothes but all i know is i've been doing it for more than 2 yrs and i love it. I usually just wear panties under my male clothing but it seems so much nicer and on occasion it is a turn on. Is this something i will eventually grow out of or does it mean i'm a transsexual or a transvestite or something. I have no idea what to do with my life because i know if i dress in female clothes in public i will harassed and everything. and btw I'm 16 yrs old if that helps anything. I know i like females but sometimes i have fantasies about being with a man but i have never tried. i need some helpp

Answer 1

If you don't feel extremely uncomfortable with your body and you haven't always felt such a dysphoria, you're definitely not transsexual.

Also, there are no such things as "transvestites", that's just a crude and degrading term the p**n industry invented.

You sound like just a cross dresser to me, which is perfectly fine, there are a lot of cross dressers out there actually. Cross dressers wear the clothes of the opposite because they find it more comfortable, to help wind them down, or to turn them on. There's nothing wrong with it and it has nothing to do with your gender identity or sexual orientation. ;)

Answer 2

It does not mean your necessarily a transsexual. I dress as I fell on a daily bases myself. Sometimes I dress as a man and more often as a women. (very passable as a women and ok passing as a man). For you it could be more of a fetish thing? Im not really sure? You could always see a therapist to find out.

obviously you have some form of gender identity issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean you are transsexual. A transsexual is someone who has a persistant desire to change their s*x anatomy. A transgender doesn't. A "transvestite" is defined as a male who is basically into crossdressing only (transvestite is Latin for crossdresser).  

When I was doing gender counselling I saw too many tv and tg's misunderstand their feelings or were in plain denial of their true feelings and ended up transitioning, only to regret years down the line what they have done.

You're only 16. Give yourself some time, perhaps network with others who feel the way you do and see where it goes. Also I would recommend you see a good gender therapist who can help you sort out these feelings.

Best wishes.
