Has anybody heard of the oldest boy in the family being the most likely to crossdress

a strange phenom

Oldest of four!

3 boys, I'm the middle one and only.

youngest of two boys. If my older brother CD's he would NEVER admit it.

I am the youngest male. The problem with these kind of numbers is that they are skewed by their very own data. Every family that has a CD male but is also the only male, automatically chalks one up for the oldest male. So if things are spread evenly, the oldest male will most certainly have the highest odds.

I seem to remember a similar thread here about crossdressers being left handed. Well all of the lefthanders came in and replied while I'll bet a number of righthanders went to the next subject. Hmmmmm....

I am the oldest male child and a lefty to boot.

I'm the oldest of 5 boys. Seems like there's a lot of us. Weird!

This is really interesting...I'm not the oldest child, but am the oldest son.

Hello,
I'm the first son of the first of the first son and I don't know any further back than that. I have six sisters and one brother. My brother is gay.

middle son of three sons...no sisters. i am left handed though.

Oldest of 3.

Youngest of two boys. I'll have to peek into my brother's closet the next time I visit his house. This could be interesting.

This is really interesting! :) I'm the youngest of six children, and I'm one of those crossdressers! LOL!

I am the youngest of 3, [older brother and sister]
But we are 5 years apart and according to research that changes a lot.

I'm left handed, and so is my grandmother, mother and sister.
My grandfather, father and brother are right handed.

So it seems being left handed in my family is a female trait.
So I guess I fit right in as one of the girls, lol

I though the research showed the younger ones were more likely?? IDK - I wonder if this is just for CD'ers or if it is the same for us TS's as well?

I'm adopted so I don't know where I'm at in the bio family. I am the oldest in my adopted family though.

I'm the youngest of 3 boys, with the younger 2 being CDs.

Scarily accurate... I too am the oldest sibling. Though I grew up mostly with my mom & sister which I would say was the main influence to my xdressing. My story of where it all started is similar to yours Leah, I am 35 and started when I was 10, but we've all done our purging... now I just can't seem to stop despite being happily married.

thats interesting to hear. I can't believe how many replies I've had just today on this. This is great.

It so sux getting old. The study had something to do with first male births not getting quite as much of a testosterone hose down en utero during the final trimester as subsequent births of male siblings...or some such thing. Really, getting old bites.

Thats interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing that with all of us. I just wanted to see if there was any truth to what the guy was saying.

Leah

Oldest, too.

WTF is with this very real pattern?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow! I had no idea that a lot of the older males were left handed. I find that interesting since I am right handed and the oldest of 5. I'd like to thank everybody for all the posts on here. I feel like I have learned a little more about this subject now.

very strange isn't it.

Leah

weird, I'm the oldest brother in my family.

Leah, why don't you - (a) convert this to a poll; and (b) change the question to read first born child who is also male likey to crossdress? I want to say add an option for left-handed or right-handed, but am not convinced there is merit there. However, it would be interesting to extract information from a sizeable cross-section of society to see if left-handers have a stronger connection with the feminine within them.

To answer your original question, I'm the older of 2, the other being a younger sister. i see many more"masculine" features in her. To be frivoluos, i've hated my uni-brow and took care of it whilst she seems to have no issues with hers. :D

I'm the youngest out of 9. 4 brothers, and 3 sisters. Granted, I did mostly grow up as an only child after I turned 8. Just had that revolving door at my house with my siblings, lol.

All of you who said 'Wow, I am so seeing a trend here' etc, did you notice all of us who are not the oldest?

A hasty and hacky review of the answers so far shows no correlation:

• All of those who are the only male child reported being the oldest male child (isn't that amazing:D)
• Of those from families with 2 boys, 60% were the older, and 40% were the younger
• From families with 3 boys, the respondents were spread across the three positions, with slight tendency towards older
• One family with 4 boys, respondent was oldest boy
• Four families with 5 boys, the tendency was towards being one of the youngest boys
• One family with 6 boys, respondent was oldest
• One family with 9 boys, respondent was youngest
• Amongst those who did not say how many boys were in the family, there was a split amongst those reporting to be the oldest and those reporting to be the youngest.

As pointed out earlier, most boys in small to middle-sized families are the oldest boy (simply because they are either the only boy, or there are only two boys).

I come from a family of 5, 1 sister and 3 brothers and I am the oldest of the boys.

:2c:I myself am the second of three. 3 daughters that I was always their model for when they were making their clothes..:) hmmm no wonder..
only member of .my family ( that I know of )

I'm the middle of 3 boys, whose beloved older sister would simply die if she knew how I used to raid her room as a teenager:-)

Bobbi

Maybe there is something to it. I am the oldest an here I am. Janet

Leah,
I too am the oldest of five, one sister 10 months younger. I started to experiment early in my life as you did and have been off and on since. What can a girl say, right?

oldest of 3 !!

I am now 36 years old and can't seem to stop. I don't remember what website I was on, but I thought it was pretty interesting that he mentioned the oldest son being the most likely. He hit the nail right on the head for me.

I have two brothers and two sisters, and yes I am also the eldest! I would be intrigued to know why the article thinks this may be the case...

I am the youngest of 4. Sister was oldest, then two brothers, then a 5 yr gap, then me. Started borrowing sister's clothes when I was 4 or 5.

I'm an only child, so I'm the oldest, but also the youngest.

I am the oldest of 5. I have 4 sisters

The theory is wrong since Im the youngest.

Nope ! Im the younger of two boys or baby of family. Sad to say I follow in my father's sesspool of jeans LOL true. My bro an sis are quite straight , With 4 kids an 6 grankids Im pretty sure im the lucky one ! lol good luck an happy hunting :love:

oldest of 3

I'm the younger of two boys in my family; I'm the crossdresser. My brother is not a crossdresser. There may be a correlation between oldest children and crossdressing, but I haven't seen any convincing evidence yet.

I was the oldest and I started at age 11

I'm the youngest out of 3, so I guess I go against the grain there :)

Chalk up another one. Oldest of three.

I'm the youngset of 3 with 2 older sisters

Oldest of three brothers. Oldest of four siblings.

I am the 2nd of 7 children. I don't know if #1 is a cd.

well i am the youngest of 2 boys.

well, Im the youngest, sister oldest and brother inbetween

Well, I'm the oldest son but the middle sibling out of seven, with three sisters before me and tow sisters and a brother after. I guess that would make me the oldest son in my family. I was seven yrs old the first time I wore panties and a dress (on a dare), and with three older sisters and plenty of girls clothes to experiment with, I became the family crossdresser. I don't know how accurate that study is but it fits my family situation.
