A Poll toHelp Clarify Attitudes Here on the Forum

[Sophie86]

Please reply by selecting the statement that best describes you.

A) I have no desire to look or feel feminine.

B) I have no desire to ever transition.

C) Both A and B.

D) Neither A nor B.

Feel free to elaborate, but don't forget to make it clear which one you would pick. And if you feel the statement needs more emphasis, add your own 'hell no'.

*****
Addendum: A is logically equivalent to "I have no desire to look feminine and no desire to feel feminine." If either one is false, then the whole statement is false. Therefore, if you just want to look feminine but not feel feminine, then A does not describe you.

My option would be D

[kimdl93]

My option would be D

Honestly this can't possibly help clarify anything. You offered too few alternatives and at best will get a n insignificant sample.

[Kathryn Philips]

1) I have every desire to look and feel feminine.
2) If this desire grows over the years, I may want to transition.

hence my answer is "D"

[Debglam]

I think you may need another choice Sophie.

No to A and Yes to B for me.

All I'm trying to do here is compare attitudes towards feeling femme vs attitudes towards transition. It seems to me that the two have been conflated in a lot of recent posts. I think the question does what I want it to do, but those who would like more nuance can add it in their comments.

So what would your response be?

[deborahtg42]

Sophie, Maybe you also need an option E then as Debby said above.

[Sophie86]

1) I have every desire to look and feel feminine.
2) If this desire grows over the years, I may want to transition.

hence my answer is "D"

Thanks, Kathryn. That's exactly the answer I was looking for from someone who does not rule out transition.

I think you may need another choice Sophie.

No to A and Yes to B for me.

Debby

Since there are options for yes to both A and B and no to both A and B, if you pick just one, then I take that to mean you would say no to the other. So I would read an answer of B as: I enjoy looking and feeling femme, but I don't want to transition.

Sophie, Maybe you also need an option E then as Debby said above.

What would you suggest as an option E?

[Miss Maxine]

My answer is N...42N.

[Cynthia Anne]

My answer would be D! And to elaborate Ill say; HELL YES! Hugs!

[Suzette Muguet de Mai]

D, I would transition tomorrow if I had the opportunity and the money for SRS and a considerate GP for referral to Clinic for HRT commencement.

[Debutante]

Mine: D

I absolutely wish to look and feel feminine. It's what I long for, deeply, and work for.
I don't see myself as TS.... maybe a transgenderist at best.
Feeling more womanly, expressing it, while living as a male in the world...

[Diana Bain]

We need more perameters...a) I wouldn't be here if I didn't...b) I like the little/big guy and his two friends (though you can never say never)

[erintemp]

D for me, I try to look and be as femminien as posable. As far as transitioning it has been a thought, alot lately.

[BRANDYJ]

Would I like to look more feminine? ONLY while dressed fem. But not so it over- shadows my male look the rest of the time. So do you mean permanently look for feminine, or do you mean when dressed in female mode?
The other answer is B. I do not wish to transition.

[prettytoes]

B-I do not wish to transition...I am very happy being a man. I simply enjoy the colors, the materials, the styles, the looks, and the smells of all things feminine. I like the way satin feels against my skin, having my toenails painted; feminine styles are much more comfortable (i.e.-yoga pants, loose flouncy tops, mini skirts, etc.), and it just feels right to me to be dressed in women's clothing.

[TGMarla]

I'll go with choice B. But it wasn't always that way. A is out, because I have every desire to look and feel feminine when I'm crossdressed. For years I wished I could run off and transition. But over the years, I've tempered that opinion, and I am now content to remain male, and pursue a rewarding life as my wife's husband.

But I still like to pretend!

[Lori B]

B....................................

[Julogden]

D, without any hesitation.

[rachaelsloane]

No to "A", It's just my opinion, but we all in one form or another wish to either look or feel feminine.
Yes to "B"

[Angela Dressing]

im a B. I love everything about being a woman but will never actually go that far. I'll dream tho

[drag n fly]

Make me a Dee...Jackie

[tiffanyjo89]

B

I would love to spend a week or even a couple days as a woman, but if I was to transition, I'd pretty much have to start life all over again with very, very little amount of interaction with anyone from the previous life I had lived...I don't want to lose my friends, and I have lived 22 years as a guy, so for me to throw away 22 years worth of relationships to live as a woman, I'd probably enter into depression.

As for going away on vacation (or a bit of a "stay-cation" so to speak) as a woman, and living as a woman that amount of time. But that'd probably be a few years from now...after I become more confident in shopping and presenting as a female.

[PretzelGirl]

I can only speak for today. I have seen too many of us change over time. So for that, the answer is......B.

[Michelle55]

1) I have every desire to look and feel feminine.
2) If this desire grows over the years, I may want to transition.

hence my answer is "D"

What she said!!!

I doubt I'd actually go through with a transition as there are too many things I like to do that women have a hard time getting involved in. I don't see many women as loggers or sawmill owners. I do see a few as farmers, but not many.
