View Full Version : Is there a common "symbol" for a crossdresser?
Hi,
I have a curious question. Is there a known symbol, emblem, item, necklace, ring, etc...that crossdressers wear or display when out in male mode? I heard of other lifestyles having such things, but not this one.

I think this forum's logo would make a good one.

The symbol usually used by crossdressers and all under the transgender umbrella is below.

No matter what symbol was used how would it be used? I think few would wear it because they don't want to be identified in public. Also, if it was worn by more and more people then it wouldn't be long before everyone knew what it meant. Then you might as well just wear a skirt out, that would be symbol enough. For FtMs it would be a bit more difficult to identify themselves since male attire on women is acceptable.

There appears to be a few variations on this same theme but here is my version anyway:

A rubber band on the left hand! and ask the person if they know "her" if they reply "who?" they are not a crossdresser if they reply ,"better than she knows herself" you have met a crossdresser!

Most of us are buried so deeply in the closet that we will hardly admit to ourselves that we are crossdressers let alone advertising the fact to the world. An appropriate symbol might be a couple eyeballs peering out a closet door.

I am in complete agreement with TommiTN, the logo of this website, the Yin Yang Symbol in pink and blue, with both genders mixng/blending ... such a good design. Those not in the "know" would just think it was something do with Tai Chi, Chinese Horoscopes or suchlike. Those in the "know" (such as the cool and wonderful people who use these amazing forums!) could offer eachother a knowing wink!
I would be tempted to have the Yin Yang symbol on a teeshirt and the legend "SISTER ON THE INSIDE" printed below. ... but thats just me! xx
PS Sparks, I love your signature. I did cry on the day I heard that Jack the King had died. The world doesn't understand the legacy he left. Thank you!

I heard you were supposed to paint the pinky finger of the left hand black, like with a magic marker, to signal to others that you were a cross-dresser/ transgendered.
At least that's what I've heard, and I've been doing it since January of this year.
If you're still afraid of outing yourself, than don't.
I like the black fingernail sign.

Caroline, I've heard that as well. Of course, it should probably be bright pink instead of black.

But we can't all afford Magic Markers.
LOL!

I would love to have one of these done up in a fine gold filigree. This one is way too heavy.

Hope that works ... here is my teeshirt idea. Forgive the crude drawing of a teeshirt, I did it quickly with the mouse, no time to draw, scan and cleanup!

I'm not sure yet whether or not if I'd wear the tg symbol but I was at a retaurant with co-workers for lunch one day and we had a tg server. From what I could tell, she had to work in drab, but she was definitely TS. When I got the check for my lunch, I wrote in a generous tip (brave gal) and drew the tg symbol next to it.

So as you see, there could be a few different ones.
Melanie's is probably the most accurate/common.
I propose a CD symbol be the Ford logo, cause3 real men drive CHEVYS, not fords. Well that and people who are anti-chrysler like me.
ok, how about parting your hair on the right, but...only during a full moon, when the tides are high...the wind must be from the west...and the temperature must be 70 degress F? all in agreement?
That T-shirt design is wonderful, Sarah! Sign me up.

I like the shirt as well, but without any words. The words kinda give it away. Anyone who uses this forum will know what the symbol means. Anyone who does not use this forum will not know what it means unless they have a TG friend, which, in that case means they're probably cool about us. :-)

I like the pinky ring idea and have been wearing one for some time now. Do you think that it gets lost in with the other six I wear daily?

I like the yin-yang idea and that it's specific to this site. If you're hesitant, wear a necklace with it concealed and pop it out when you think you might have a friend nearby.

I joined Pinky Pals last week and ordered the official ring. There are no forums there but it is still a cool site.

When you see a fifth degree Mason do you wink at him or show the secret hand sign? If you aren't aware of the crossdresser secret symbol, I apologize, but I can't show it to you...
