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

[Ashlee]

I've heard that x out of 100 are CD'ers and that people with stressful jobs tend to be CD'ers vs. those of non-stressful jobs. I often wonder when I see people if they CD or not. I do constantly look for tell-tale signs. Anyway as for the thread....

I can tell you I'm the oldest of 2 siblings and I do have a very stressful and very macho job. I do feel relieved though when I become Ashlee and all of the stress melts away for that time.

I am the oldest of seven, One brother and five sisters. My mother thought that when I was younger I might be cross dressing. So when I told her about 10 years ago she wasn't surprised.

Youngest of seven. 5 boys, 2 girls. Only one who is tg. right handed, and I use to have a stressful job.

[Angel.Marie76]

I'm the oldest of two boys.. This is fairly interesting to hear about.. they say so many things though about 'the firstborns' though..

[Emma1976]

Mmm, oldest of four boys and the only one to cd as far as I know.

[Kate Lynn]

I have never heard that but,I am the oldest,my birth mom had three sons with her second husband,my dad had one son and one daughter with my step mom,as far as I know I'm the only one who is like this.

I never knew the other three my birth mom had with husband number 2,and as for my step brother and sister,what about them.

There are three of us and I am the oldest. Yes my work is stressfull.

[Sarah C.]

Well, I'm the youngest of 4, so the theory doesn't hold up for me. As for the stressful job, no luck there either - I started crossdressing about 14 years before my first full-time job!

Just like Tracy, I am the oldest male of the oldest male of the oldest male, there the chain stops.

[Felicia]

I am the youngest of three boys. I guess I am the girl my Mom always wanted. I have dressed on and off since I was preteen.

[yvonne10]

I am the oldest of 4 boys

[Cary]

Well that explains it! I'm 35 and the oldest boy.

[MeaganDee]

Certianly not in my case... youngest here

I have come to a statistical conclusion. If you title a thread "Has anybody heard of the oldest boy in the family being the most likely to crossdress" more of the oldest boy in the family memebers will enter the thread and reply than other members.

Sue, you may be right, yet former polls - differently worded - do show there is a real trend.

I organized in the past a poll about birth order in the thread quoted below.

I revisited such polls about birth order, a few weeks ago, and I led a comprehensive thread about it.

. When comparing first born to last born in a family or 2 or more than 2 childs the ratio is 60% first born vs. 40% last born.

I'm the oldest of 4

I think there's more to it than just being the oldest. If you've read much about the dynamics of dysfunctional families you've probably heard about the oldest child as being the overperformer, the one who tries to make the screwed up family look OK.

I've always wondered if the incredible pressure this child feels along with a poor male role model makes the female role more attractive in getting away from having to be the hero and instead going with the soft, attractive, love me please female role.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it applies to me anyway.

[KathrynTX]

Interesting. I happen to be the oldest of my dad's children. However, without a proper study, I don't think one can say for sure whether this is necessarily so.

[morgan51]

i'm the oldest child also

[Raychel]

I am the oldest of 5, 3 boys, 2 girls.

When I told my mother she said that she thought my youngest brother likes to wear womens clothes also. So I guess that would totally blow that idea.

[danacd50]

Oldest of five....three boys and two girls...

[Pauline Lauren]

I don't know if this confirms the trend I see here or not. I am an only child, so while I am the oldest, I guess I am the youngest too. I think I saw the "oldest child" thing somewhere too. I wonder if there was ever any study with regards to only children! >>>hugs<<< Pauline
