It isn't that ...Thanks for your response Jack,<br /><br />It isn't that i was concerned about maybe being part of the transgender family, it was the uncertainty of what i am that was playing with my OCD. To answer myself who i am, without the pressure of OCD, i needed some more info. But to finish the whole thing one last question ( also for my OCD, i am so sorry -_- ) When you are transvestite, crossdresser or an fethistic transvestite do you belong automatically under the transgender umbrella or can you still be cisgender?<br /><br />Thanks already!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-19841247994909511732019-03-21T03:08:16.904-07:002019-03-21T03:08:16.904-07:00PS: I understand the OCD part, and given the curre...PS: I understand the OCD part, and given the current discussions about trans issues, i can understand why you are asking. But you might want to take a closer look at why being part of the transgender family cause you concern.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-5050227341455542052019-03-21T03:05:57.891-07:002019-03-21T03:05:57.891-07:00Language is a fuzzy thing, and terms like "tr...Language is a fuzzy thing, and terms like "transgender" are particularly complex. The most common understanding of the term transgender – which was established in the 1990s – is that it is an umbrella term that refers to all shades of gender variance. This is how I have used the term. <br /><br />It allows us to discuss all the diversity of gender expressions and gender identities and leaves room for the transgender journey, where people, through thinking, feeling and experimentation, find out who they really are. <br /><br />Using this term, cis people are those who do not question their assigned gender, and who live up to the traditional understanding of gender identity and sexuality. I have argued that such an understanding of the term leaves room for all crossdreamers under the transgender umbrella.<br /><br />Some people, however, use the term to describe people who want to live as their target gender, or who have transitioned. The medical term for them is transsexual, which is a subset of transgender. In this case, cis will mean something in the line of "people who identify with the gender assigned at birth." Using this interpretation of the term transgender, a lot of crossdreamers are cisgender.<br /><br />Ultimately it must be up to you how you describe yourself. If you think of yourself as cis, you have every right to call yourself cis.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472400923228993687.post-19700441056931958192019-03-19T12:15:01.911-07:002019-03-19T12:15:01.911-07:00Hello Jack,
Good article! I only have an question...Hello Jack,<br /><br />Good article! I only have an question. I am an man who gets aroused from the fantasy of having an womans body. When i fantasize about it, it is not that i want to get in touch with an womanside or something, it is pure to get aroused. I am not into crossdressing. Maybe it is good to mention that I am really happy with my life as an guy and i feel good corresponds with my birth sex. I am also heteroseksual. So my question for now is: When you get aroused of the fantasy of having an womans body as man, do you fall automatically under the transgender umbrella or can you still be cisgender? I hope you can react so clearly as possible ( I have some trouble with OCD, thats why... ) I hope you can help me!

And hardly a surprise as we come to more understand the true identity of people boxed into strict silos by society.<br /><br />The secret dreams, desires and true aspirations of those who dare divulge them puts an end to the imagined model we espoused for centuries. It is indeed a true rainbow of colors that we are dealing with...:))joanna Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722222181799879120noreply@blogger.com
