Are crossdressers abused as children?
930250
No, of course not.  Well, maybe some have, but most simply enjoy wearing the clothing of the other sex.  That's it.  Why?  They like the feel and look of it (comfort and style).  They like pretending to be women on occasion (a temporary state of transsexuality, sort of).  They hate rigid gender roles and want to wear whatever without it meaning something.  Sometimes they want to be delicate and feminine and female clothes symbolize it for them (for male cross-dressers).  Sometimes it gives them a sexual thrill.  There are a million reasons, and they differ many ways, but it's not the result of child abuse.\n\nHope that's shed some light on the subject!

I think your right but to answer the question you asked...I think it depends on how they raise them.  If they provide a good lifestyle and do their best to raise them right then I blame it on the kids or maybe it is their father- or no father.  but I dont think its right their "mommys" covering their butts to protect them.  especially if they are doing cruel and life changing things.  I wouldnt doubt if those little girls go postal later in life.

My Father-In-Law is a cross-dresser.  I had a tough time with this at first, and I did a lot of research into the subject because I wasn't sure if this was something that was potentially harmful to me, my wife (who is normal enough), or our future grandchildren.\n\nWhat I found most of all is that cross-dressing, by itself, does not make someone unsafe or even all that weird.  Sometimes it's just what turns them on.  It can be a sign of gender mis-identity.  Every so often, it's repressed feelings of homosexuality.  In almost all cases, it makes the wearer feel good, feel good about themselves, or just normal.  It's nothing to fear, and it certainly doesn't automatically mean someone is gay.  But it could.

lalala, I too was molested as a child. Twice. Once at the tender age of 6 and once at the age of 11. Both times were by people known to the family. BUT. I am not a victim. I am a survivor. Megans Law is WRONG. It is denying Constitutional Rights to rehabilitated former sex offenders. It is not protecting anyone. The registries have never and will never protect a child. They are a false sense of security. A parents responsibility is to protect their child! Are you aware that little Megan Kanka, at the age of 7 was left outside for THREE HOURS with no parental supervision? Never was checked on! \n\nThe states inflate the numbers on the registries to get more federal funding. They create more sex crimes for the same reason. Do you realize that in some states, urinating in public is a sex offense and will put you on the registry? Did you realize that in some states, I will choose WI as I know the law there, if a teen couple is 16 and have consensual sex, they will arrest and charge both with sexual assault against the other? That makes them both a victim and an offender. WI is not the only state that does this. \n\nThere are many variables that you are not aware of. I have done my homework. I work with rehabilitated former sex offenders everyday. I do know what I am talking about.

A long time ago, when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I was a beautiful young woman.  I NEVER dressed to be sexy; I wore simple, ordinary clothing, high-necked tops and non-sexy shoes.  I never even wore make up.  \n\nBut, I was shaped very well, and often drew rude catcalls and unwelcome stares.  It drove me absolutely batshit with rage.\n\nBecause I never invited such obnoxious attention, I was furious at it.  If I had dressed to encourage it, I would have expected to be the object of interest...but, I didn't.\n\nThis kind of ugly attention has not happened to me for many years (proof that I am old and unattractive), but I'm glad to, at last, be left alone while I go about my routine.

Cross-dressing is the act of wearing clothing commonly associated with another gender within a particular society.\nSuch as a man dressing as a woman or a woman dressing as a man.

First, let me say that I have a feeling that you arn't a crossdresser, just some goofball looking for a laugh. For one, a crossdresser would be old enough to know how to spell "color" and "highlights!" lol. Second, I think you wouldn't ask silly questions about ordinary things like coloring your hair. All types of people dye their hair.\n\nIf you ARE a crossdresser, you shouldn't feel the need to ask total strangers about what you should do with your nails or hair. Do whatever pleases you.

No. Cross dressing is independent to sexual orientation. This doesn't mean there aren't any gay/bi crossdressers - it just means being a crossdresser doesn't automatically mean the person is gay/bi.

I work with children and this is what I see when they are being abused.First thing is they withdraw in themselfs and don't do what they usually do.Like go places with people or hang with their friends. Their school work fails. Then they start acting out.Doing things to get introuble.Plus they're mad alot and will say disrepectful things to u.You also might see them always being hurt. I wish u all the luck in finding out the truth.

I'm not sure if there is alot or not, I know that I wear them everyday under all my boy clothes. I've hooked up with my fair share of girls and most of them seem very surprised by it, as if it was something unusal to them.

If we had true equality for gender, then there would be fashion freedom which means no discrimination on how someone dresses. Some people will cross dress for fun, some because they are more comfortable dressing in a fashion that suits their personal feeling. If people were less bigoted , there would be no issue as to how someone presents themselves, provided they are not threating or intimidating

provocative or not...everyone should be able to dress how they want to without fear of harm.  its not just girls that might have this fear...punk kids get harassed and threatened alot for how they look from people, goth kids, cross-dressers, etc etc.\nnobody deserves to be harmed for what they wear or how they look, and more power to those that despite any fear they may have dress how they want to.

No I think that behaviour is pathetic and doesn't teach the child anything except "ask and I will provide" mentality. Yes I agree that some kids behave in a spoilt way and I've heard a group of nasty little girls commenting amongst themselves in Target one day about wanting better clothes than "Target" clothes. What the...........? Target has good quality clothes and these little 8 yr olds must have heard it from their mothers. Whilst I try to grant my kids christmas wishes I wouldn't behave in such a way and when you have 4 to buy for, the money is spent a bit more sparingly. My kids have all they need and more. Thanks for that question, it was good.

It depends this is a tricky one and something I was actually discussing the other day. I dont think that it is appropriate for kids to be wearing thongs, or bikkinis, or ten year olds running around naked in public.\n\nHowever, what if this child was brought up with parents who believe in nudism, whos parents attend specific places which are closed to outsiders like beaches, they are used to it they have been brought up with it and there is nothing leud at all going on its just going on with out clothes, then perhaps not.\n\nHowever since this is not usually the situation in general i would say no, its not.

because they can.\n\nbecause in the sex driven world of pop culture, role models are forced to reveal more and more of themselves just to make an impression. so hordes of followers, unwitting and otherwise, remove their clothes in an effort to attain the elusive goal of the norm

Well well well. What have we here I dont think you are gay however you are on to something a cross dresser maybe? I blame your sister for it for dressing you up. You are also responsible however. What 8-9 year old boy lets himself play dress up. At that age girls were a no no. Qooties remember. I didn't think so. There is a Different point of view. You are at an age where you become sexually aroused by things. Not suggesting your sister thats incest and a very big no no. What you need is a girlfriend that has the bras and panties and wears tham and you get to see them. I think girls look alot better than guys in those at least to me a straight guy. I have no problem with gay people I just not wired that way and never will be. Stop doing it and get layed and become a man grow out of the dress up thing or keep it as a fettish. What ever floats your boat.

Being the parent myself, I don't allow my children to wear anything that is vulgar, sexually explicit, racial, etc... It is my job as a parent to make sure my children are safe and are not exposed to things that will harm them. I can't be with them all the time, however I can instill values and monitor what they are exposed to.  I don't like the "belly shirts" or the shorts/pants with writing on the butt. I don't judge the parents that do, but it's not for me and my household. I'm not a fanatic and make my daughter wear dresses and long hair or my son dress in only "good clothes" They dress like average children without the sex factor or the discrimination.  \n\nIt's the parents that need to take control of the situation and refuse to purchase such items.
