Nope.... I feel it's more envieonmental....
Kinda like global warming Karren? LOL @ enviromental..good answer love it..
Nope! The devil makes me do it.
It's easy to say no, not my Dad, but if you asked my sons, they would say no not my dad. we can be pretty good at hiding. Our fathers would have hidden it even better, because life back then would have been really hard if ut had come out. So maybe it could be true sometimes, and we just don't know, Just like no one can get a count of how many of us there are, because so many of us stay so deep in the closet.

All I know for sure is, if your parents don't have children, you won't either.

Thats logical..lol
It never ceases to amaze me how many attributes we have seem to be heridity. Obviously the physical features, but personalities too. Yes, personalities too. I think I've seen enough from personal observation to know this cannot be totally environmentally caused, therefore, why not CD too? I believe CD is inherited. My dad use to have my mom trim his under arms and I always wondered why. I don't think she cut off all the hair, just made it real short. He was a really masculine looking guy, but like others have said, who would ever really know if they were so deep in the closet.

I have a sister that grew up with our dad, I grew up with my mom and stepdad, But my sister would tell me stories of our dad running around the house wearing pantyhose, I had never seen for myself, but she remembers, She knows I am a CD and she is very cool and supportive about it, I really used to wonder if it is hereditary, like eye color or hair, or any of our other traits we seem to acquire.
As far as I know, there is absolutely no credible evidence for this, beyond some incomplete studies and anecdotes. There is very little concrete eveidence about the cause of transgenderism at all, much less whether it runs through families. Personally, I firmly believe two things: That it is a physical medical(especially in transexuals), and not a mental condition. And that it begins before birth(all tg's), and is not at all environmental, in origin. But that's my opinion, based on things I've seen, read, and experienced. I really wish the medical community would recognise my first assertation. I think removing ts from the DSM would remove alot of barriers. Being Gay was considerd a mental disorder until 1973.
But the sad truth is we have scant evidence at this point, for pretty much everything.

I wonder how many of these stories of catching dad in female clothes was just a once or twice curiosity and not a full crossdressing thing. Female clothes are specifically designed to attract the interest of men and I think its only a natural progression that some men decide to see how it feels and looks wearing it.
That said, a few years ago my mum left my dad and got a girlfriend and my brother recently came out gay. I'm not, I love women heaps, but I think there is something in the family there for 3 of us to be a little out of the norm.

When I was about eight years old Dad thought I was asleep and I walked down the hallway and caught him lying on his bed with Moms red panties on. Freaked me out at the time. He died young and I only hope that he got to the point where he accepted it. Since coming out to my wife we are wondering our 23 year old son. She told me she found her panties in his room several times when he lived at home.

Quite possibly... I found out that my dad dressed, about a year before he passed. Long story as to how I found out, but I did none the less.
nope, they're all straight and totally miserable! i do have a gay uncle, hes the only slight deviance i know of in the family. i think its more of a chernobyl baby thing or my mum must have smoked while she was pregnant lol
[SIZE=4]Hey you aren't one of my kids are you? I am a pre-op TS and would risk it if I had the money.
I had an uncle who I have become convinced with my knowledge of him and myself was trans and if all the information was available back then, might have actually come out as trans. He certainly had every characteristic, but I never knew of him to CD. I don't know of anyone else in my family but me. My son is all man, and my girls are all girl, altghough one has a great career in a "man's" field, civil engineering, and she just loved to go on a job site where she was the local GOD.
So did I, so did I.

I think it is not however dressing could skip a generation. I know myself and a cousin are dressers on my dads side and I have a few GLBT family members on my mothers side. I do think a few f my family members who act hyper masculine may have traits and they are just masking them.
