Which Child Are You In The Family?

[Clare]

I was just reading another thread and a thought occurred to me. I am the oldest (and male obviously) child in my family. I have heard about medical surveys and the like that have tried to determine the 'ranking' of crossdressing children in families. As in whether a crossdresser is the first born child or the second male child, etc...

So where do you score in the poll?

[Darlene Rochelle]

I am 2nd born,I have an older sister,only two of us0.02

[Tracy_Victoria]

I'm an only child, I'm sure my dressing stems from this in some way!

[toniloraine]

i am the 4th born, youngest male out of 3 males.yep, im the baby although i havent been home for 14 years.

[Felicia]

I am third born with two older Brothers and no Sisters. I started dressing in my preteens and although my Mom thought it was cute my Father hated it. (HUG) Felicia

[Jessica]

I am the oldest of 4........0.02 ....

[Byllie]

Just a thought ... besides being 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc) born, what about nature of siblings? Mostly male? Mostly female? All male? All female? How about spread of ages? There are lots of great *un-scientific* polls to create that might give us a better sense of why we do what we do. But I feel that just as there are so many stars in the night sky, there are so many reasons we CD.

[Lilith Moon]

Brought up by adopted parents as an only child.

Then traced my original family and found a younger brother and four sisters.

[eleventhdr]

I have alway's somehow belived that three is some kind of lucky NO. At least to me it always has been.

But then yet again somehow wether it has anything to do with this NO. or not

I did at a very early age indentify with the female sex although in thoise day's of the 1950's one did not reveal such at least it was that way for me..
I had no sisters unfortuatly

But kind of always did feel that i was suppose to have been the one to have been a reall gg.

But somehow something went wrong and here i am stuck yet again in a male body which i am as of right now and for awhile am really hating.

I just do so want to be female once and for all!:.

Jay Suzy!:

[tacal]

I am 2nd born, have older and younger sisters. Wore their panties when young.:D

[Gurly]

I was the youngest of five children and also the third born male.

[Clare]

Just a thought ... besides being 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc) born, what about nature of siblings? Mostly male? Mostly female? All male? All female?Ok - I have two younger brothers and no sisters.

[LaSirenaBella]

I'm the eldest child.

[Shelly Preston]

I did hear of this survey. I believe your question is flawed, in that you ask where people rank in families. Surely an only child should have a answer. As they are not part of a group e.g. 2 or 3 children
This means at the moment they get attached to the eldest group.

[Lawren]

1st, Brother
2nd, Sister
3rd, Me
4th, Sister
5th, Sister

There was a lot of girls clothes for me to wear, :cheeky: (snicker)

So what is it that is said about the "middle child?" :D

[michelle-h]

I am the youngest. I have 2 older sisters. My half sister is 14 yrs older. My other sister is 5 yrs older. I did not see much of my oldest sister when I was young because she lived with her mother. My other sister lived at home with us until she went off to college. I'm not sure if any of that has any bearing on my dressing or not, but who knows.


Michelle-h

[Tina T]

Eldest of three - with two much younger sisters.

[janelle]

Oldest of 5, 2 brothers & 2 sisters.

[Daintre]

I have 2 older sisters, and, 2 younger sisters.....sheeesh, no wonder I have always wanted to be a girl :D

[FionaAlexis]

I am the eldest child also. I have one sister.

Fiona xx

[ANA]

I am the first born then a sister,bother,sister, and brother.

[ChristineRenee]

I'm the second born male of two children...my older brother being 10 years older. My mother had wanted a girl and was going to name me Renee. Little did she realize that I became in many ways the daughter that she never had!:happy:

[SKINNYGIRL]

I'm third born, two older and one younger brothers, my poor mother!

[michellesue]

I am the oldest of two. I have a younger sister.

[Tiffany Anne 9954]

I'am the baby of the family. I have 2 older sisters and an older brother.

[JoAnnDallas]

I put the third born, since I have two older sisters. Yep the baby of the family and BTW men are pampered in my family. It seems that ONLY one boy is born in each generation. So ratio is about 3 girls to every boy born.

My middle sister hated me when we growing up because she got hand me down clothes and had to share big sister's bedroom, whereas I got new clothes and had a room to myself. We are now the best of friends and she even ended up marrying my best freind, she she hated almost as much as she hated me. LOL They have been married now for over 25 years.

[Laurie Ann]

I am the oldest one younger sister. I am also the oldest grandchild if that matters.

[Barbara B]

I am the oldest of six, four sisters and one brother.

[Ms. Donna]

Three kid in my family:
Myself - male
My sister - female
My brother - male


Love & Stuff,
Donna

[rpservices1]

forth of seven boys and one last sister eight in all

[Annabel]

You don't have a poll slot for 'only child'. I'm one of them.

[Tina Dixon]

3rd

[Teddie]

I'm the one and only. Also, didn't answer the survey because we were left out :strugglin

[Kimberley]

Hmmm. Born male? Not so sure about that....
Still, I am my own best girlfriend....

Kimberley

[pralicia]

I have two brothers and two sisters, maybe i'm the result of this, the middle girlie boy, hé hé , catching the male attributs and the feminine look, and the heart and the head? ahhh the biggest question :that's what i'm still searching.
:D

[Janelle Young]

I am the only male. Two older sisters and one younger one.

[Julie Avery]

I see I'm in good company as a first born child.

[Marla S]

I see I'm in good company as a first born child.
Is it any wonder ?
50 % of all first borns are male, and 100 % of M2F are male :tongueout

The poll confirms that very well :p (within statistical error)

[Veronica27]

This question was a bit ambiquous. I voted second born male, as I am the second male in the family, but I was the third child of three, as there was a girl in the middle. Perhaps I ticked the wrong box.

This is a very interesting question, but the results will naturally be very badly skewed, as we all come from families with a first born, fewer come from a family with a second born, fewer still from a family of three, and so on down the line.

If it were possible to conduct such a poll that included a sample of all families, whether or not they included a crossdresser, then we could compare the percentage of crossdressers versus non crossdressers for each possible family situation, thereby seeing whether birth position and gender mix of families influence crossdressing tendencies.

Veronica

[CassieW]

I'm the youngest older sister, older brother twelve years.

[Butterfly Bill]

Two older brothers and one older sister, making me the third born male, but the fourth born child. (I found this a bit ambiguous.)

[elizabeth nicole]

I am the third of nine children.OLder sister and brother both deceased twin sister deceased now three younger sisters and only one of my two younger brothers left.Grew up on family farm so a very large family,and lots of sisters that thought it cute to play dress up.Boy if they only knew now. well youngest does know she is a FTM.had surgery a year ago so i guess i have two brothers now.

[Julie Avery]

Marla S, LOL! I'm in favor of statistical scepticism, or sceptical statisticisism (but that last one is hard to pronounce in English). What have numbers to do with sex?!

[Marla S]

What have numbers to do with sex?!
Well that's easy.
The German phrase "eine Nummer machen" (to make a number) means to have sex. :D

[Julie Avery]

:::laughing:::::


All these years, we thought the Deutsch were uptight!

[ava_bruna]

im the youngest of 4 boy's young? gee that sound's nice, not that im unhappy getting older;) look at all the FREE time ive got now:). I dont know if my other bro's C Ded or not, one died a few yr's ago and I know he liked silk p j's and I guess underwear, im the odd one, sort of like the " Black sheep of the family ", huggie's, Ava.

[annekathleen]

[Clare]

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

My apologies to those who had no poll option for 'only child', but the 'first born child' selection would be a suitable alternative in this regard.

The poll results seem to reflect what I thought the origional research had come up with. Most crossdressers seem to be the first born child in the family! I wonder if the majority of FtM's are also the first born child in a family?

[az_azeel]

hi clare
i am the oldest and have voted as such.. My sister is 1 year my junior... we grew up mostly the same size lol...

take care

Ummm Claire? This actually shows the opposite - that 44% are first born, 56% are not :) and these numbers are not statistically significant anyway, as there are no overwhelming percentages for any choice....

[KarenNY]

Interesting -- there should have been a choice for "only child". I am the only child my parents had, and I was raised by my mother after my father split when I was about 5. My mother was accepting and supportive of my crossdressing from age 12 on up. It certainly helped that I was an only child, but my mother also had two miscarriages after I was born, so that may have fed her own desires to have a daughter, at least some of the time.

[Debbie Kong]

I'm the oldest male of three with one older sister. I credit her with jump starting my CDing as I was a bit of a Doll for her to play with. Often I would wear some of her clothing while we played. Strangely enough she is the only one of my siblings who doesn't know about Debbie.

Debbie

[donna h]

I am the youngest of three, oldest was brother then sister, then me. Wore alot of my sisters clothes in the begining.

[skipper57]

I'm the oldest of three brothers...

[Connieminiskirts]

I grew up with 5 older sisters, 1 younger brother, until I was 12 when my youngest brother was born

[Robyn2006]

I'm the youngest of three, with two gorgeous older sisters. The little brother who so wished he had been the third sister. (I'd be the one on the right...)

xxxooo,
Robyn

[NatalieBliss]

There wasn't a response that fully defined me as I am dads second kid (only boy) but my mothers first. though upon further thinking I was for the most part the first child as my older half-sister lived across town with her birth mother.

[DawnRodgers]

Actually the oinly cild so that makes me fit two of the categories. Only and eldest male child.
Dawn

[Melissa73]

me: was born the second of four kids.....first my brother, then me, then sister and then sister[from mom & step dad] (and a brother----from dad &step mom).

[Caitlintgsd]

I'm the second born with just an older sister.

[Diannna]

I happen to be first born, do not know my paternal father. Have a brother and two sisters younger by diff. Father.I'm oldest by 5 years. Some how got into my moms girdles, hooked ever since.

[Stormgirl]

The only child in the family thats a rotten spoiled brat! Kidding,I never got spoiled.

[Lisa Maren]

I am the second eldest and also the second eldest male (my older sibling is male).

Hugs,
Lisa

[Marlena Dahlstrom]

Oldest child, with a brother who's four years younger.

[joanboy]

I am the oldest of 4 boys

[Angela Burke]

I've got four sisters all older than me.
So that makes five girls all together!

[Toni Panties]

I have two older sisters and two younger brothers. Makes me middle but for 9 yrs, I was the baby before my brothers came along. Same parents they just kind of had two families. Don't know what any of this means but I do remember that when my two older sisters reached puberty they were showered with many things, like bras, stockings, girdles (it was the 60's) ect. As I started to mature I was actually worried that I would grow breasts like they did and I would be some kind of freak. When I got there it was "here is another package of tighty whitey's" no big deal life went on. It was then that I started to check out my sisters things leading to dressing first time. Also I kind of suspect that my youngest brother may also cd but just don't have the guts to ask.

[sierracd6]

I am an only child as many here. I read reports on only children are more likely to crossdress because they have more time with thier mothers growing up. The want to be femme is greater because of more one on one time, rather than having the time split up with other siblings. Just something I read......

[black leotards]

I am the oldest but I did have a sister who died at the age of only a few months old. I always wondered if I wore some of her baby clothes? They say that a child's first few months can be very definitive in how a child develops. Hmmm.

[Casey Morgan]

I'm the oldest of five children but the only male.

[Toni]

I am the eldest of two brothers and oddly enough he was TV too before he died.

[Helen MC]

Big sister Anne who is 2 years my senior then me. Classic middle class English family , two kids (one of each - though I have a strong feminine side), cat, dog, mother and father.

[Siobhan Marie]

I'm the first born and child. Wonder if it means anything?

:hugs: Anna x

[Josi]

Your survey doesnt include my circumstances ....

Second born child, to an elder sister ....
Makes me wonder if I would have turned out as I am if I hadnt had the elder sister .......

[pinkscorpi1]

COLOR="Magenta" I'm the second male of two .My mother always wanted to have a girl when I was born and she did without knowing it .(And I'm glad she did.I'm quuite sure she knew I was using her things as a child because in those days I was an untidy little bratt . I've always thought that the fact of my mother wanting a girl had something to do with me being who I am . Do you think it's possible ?and..Pinky [/color]

[sarahjan]

There's no option for only child

[Marla S]

There's no option for only child
What about "First born". ;)

[avawho]

I'm an only child, so I'm very definately the first (and last as it turned out) never gave much thought to it. I was actually somewhat surprised to see just how many first born are identified in the pole

Cheers
Ava

[Krissi]

I was the first born, and an only child for almost 8 years. I had a female cousin that was 40 days older than me and we were raised almost as twins, always together. I can definately see that as the roots of some of my dresssing interests.

[Trisha]

12th yongest of 17 from two sets of parents never been close to any of them :Angry3:

[JulieCDOH]

Me 1961
Sister 1967
Brother 1973

Kisses Julie:doll:

[Clare]

Ummm Claire? This actually shows the opposite - that 44% are first born, 56% are not :) Duh! I can be such a blonde at times!

I suppose what I was really saying is that the poll only addresses MtF (as in 2nd born male, etc). I was wondering about the result from a FtM perspective - 2nd born female for instance. I guess I didn't think through my question before writing it!


... and these numbers are not statistically significant anyway, as there are no overwhelming percentages for any choice.There's not? I think the 'First Born' responses are substantial! But you have to concede that this poll is not a scientifically perfect research tool either - just a generic 'what if' type thing.

[Deborah]

I'm the eldest ***cough*** ***cough*** son ***cough*** ***cough***

ughh hate saying that. ;)

[veronica]

Two children, I am the second both males yet now I'm a crossdresser and T.V. and my brother is a pre-op male- female T.S.

so I guess I still fall into second born male

[tamyracd]

4 of 4 with three sisters with the youngest being 10yrs older than me..didn't stand a chance...*s*

[MissAnnie]

I am an only born child - have voted for first born child - sorry there are no for one born

[Bonnie D]

I'm the eldest of four boys. However I don't think it makes a difference if you have older or younger brothers or sisters or if you're an only child. I think something happened during our creation that caused whatever level of transgenderism we are at along the vast spectrum. Our environment determines how far we go with it or in other words whether or not we keep it hidden.

Bonnie

[Melissa Ann]

First of three brothers. Mother says she had three sons looking for a daughter. Oh, the the irony of that thought!

HuGGs, Melissa Ann

[Bernice]

I am the third son of four for my father, but the first son of two for my mother.

Since I rarely ever saw my older half brothers, I voted that I was first born.
