    Question? How will you answer?

    This is only a question. I am not saying that anyone knows or how they found out. But before you answer I also am not trying to influence your answer. Here are your answers.
    A. Yes
    B. No
    C. I don't know.
    D. What does that mean?

    Figure if someone you know just ask you one day "Are you TG?".

    I'm TG. A fem-male so I look male sometimes.

    Dressing is necessary, the type of clothes you wear not so much.

    This above all to thy own self be true!

    B, no, I am a transvestite.
    Well, if I felt safe telling that person about myself, that is what I would say.

    If it was someone who I felt could use the information to discredit or hurt me, I'd say D and deny everything.

    If a friend asked the question "are you TG?" my first response would be "why do you ask?". If I felt they needed to know anything more I would tell them that I am a crossdresser. That is all they need to know--anything else is personal.

    Hi.

    a few knew i was different going back to the 60's & again i told people i was / am a woman nothing about my self is hidden pretty much all there is to know about my self is a open book.

    More so when youv been on T V & in the media, nation wide, & when i have been asked what am i male or female its im a intersexed woman. for children its a little different so ether way ,
    was a boy now a girl or im just both or all mixed up. yet a girl.
    & when i have Dejarn our Grandkid, one of 9.with me age 9 she answers for me as well , so it can be a lot of fun ,

    I'd clarify if the other person knows the difference between TG TS CD.
    I do see myself as TG but not TS.

    TG = A!

    I am definitely transgendered, would transition if I didn't have kids or wasn't married.

    One should be sure that the questioner means "transgender" and not, say, "Tres Grande," as in "Do you feel that you are too fat! So it's ALWAYS appropriate to ask what they mean!

    Should they mean transgender, I have a long and nuanced answer, as I've anticipated this for a long time. It's along the lines of "Imagine what the consequences of answering such a question might be, should I be transgender." There is more, but you get the gist.

    No-one will ever know what I am until, and if, I have a good reason to tell them. It won't be to satisfy curiosity.

    "What do you mean by that?" is always a good answer.

    Or, "Why are you asking that?", works too.

    In reality, this is NOBODY'S business and is a terribly impolite question, so it you're asked, please feel free to be impolite right back.

    Good answer. I would ask them why they are asking too.

    Not sure we all agree on what a TG is. TG is an umbrella term that covers anyone that is CD, TV, TS. So many use the term to mean only TS.

    I agree. It also depends on how close that friend is.

    Yes.

    But I'm in the camp that applies Transgender to 'Just CrossDressers', to me it applies to anyone who expresses a gender other than the one they were born with, even if we still like both.

    I thought that TG stood for transgender and that it was a general term for all persons who did not neatly fit into whatever the norm for human behavior happened to be at the time. Like the terms human being, race, type of religions; there are all types and variations to each of those terms.

    Transgender, I thought, meant one could be gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transvestite, crossdresser, gender queer, genetically altered and many more labels that I cannot think of at the moment.

    I am one or more of the above.

    I guess my first responce would be "WHAT", if ask the second time depending on the person I would say "yes I enjoy dressing like a women".

    I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.

    I hoped the question would just spark some thought on your part. No one has/had to answer at all. It had nothing what so ever to do with people caring. I was not trying to spark fear. The purpose was to see how strong you are in your feelings of being TG. I am pretty sure of who I am now. I feel as a whole person, more so than before I figured this out. Dressing is not a problem it is the solution to my problem. And I don't care who knows. Only most people don't ask. Seems they would rather not try to find out or make up a decision on their own of their own choosing. Not saying I am an open book but I feel better health wise to not have this bottled up inside. Being an honest person and having secrets tends to hurt trying desperately to keep them. I have no more secrets?

    I would ask them if they know what that truly means. Ask what makes them ask that and go from there. There are some people I would respond yes and others I would be very cautious with my reply.

    The word transgendered encompasses everything from transsexualism, medically intersexed, fetishist's, cross dressing, pan sexuality, etc.
    The first two on the list are to be segregated as medical conditions thus having their own separate classification for each one.
    If someone asked me if I was transgendered I would be hard pressed to not attempt to educate them as to why the term transgender means nothing to certain groups and if anything is an insult.
