  • Why you got a negative on the points list is unknown to me. This is actually a good question and deserves a good to half good answer. Transgendered individuals usually go to a therapist and work with a therapist on every aspect of the change. Depending on the individual certain aspects of the change, like clothing can be all at once or taken in steps, such as wearing woman's clothing at home (in private) and wearing mens clothing to work (for a male going female). Some of what plays into this is how the social life of the individual will be affected by a sudden change, family, friends and co-workers are addressed differently, meaning it may be necessary to wear a suit and tie while visiting grandma-ma who is strictly religious or set in her system of beliefs. I would imagine that most trans gendered have a span of time where they have both male and female outfits in the closet, picking and choosing outfits, or at first trying on the opposite gendered clothing to see what its like.
  • It depends on what you're comfortable with. Personally, I went the slow way in public, but with my friends I was kind of right away.
  • Best to do it all at once This avoids delay and any confusion
  • She will want the clothes. but can't deal with the crap handed out by society. Do the kid a favor. Either put a bullet in the kid's head or move where he is not known. Keep him out of gym class, put him on hormones, so he developes female bones structure. A little boy is easy to pass as a little girl. WIth proper treatment the child will grow up as a girl and beocme a woman with no one the wiser. That is fantasy land. It would be rare to find any responsible physcian who would find that the child was transgendered or give the child the proper treatment. Most kids are social outcasts. They are lost and confused. Eventially most are thrown out by their family. More than half die at an early age - murder, suicide, drugs, disease.
  • Remember, not only trans ppl get ridiculed out in public. I went full time all at once and once I got over the initial anxiety I felt the 1st few times I went out, it just got easier every time. I am so much happier now just being me. Occasionally I get an ignorant person who will snicker and make a comment but, I just smile and keep on going. Now, it's just my daily routine dressing as a girl and making up my face; no thought involved other than what I'm gonna wear that day.

  • Unless you move to somewhere where he is not known for get changing clothing styles.. The end result whether gradual introduction of clothing preferences or all at once will be the same. The child becomes the target of every bully and nut case in his environment. If you can't move, play the game. He can pretend to be a boy in public to have some semblance of a normal life. He can wear what ever it takes to maintain his sanity in the privacy of your home. I vote for sensuous ultra feminine lingerie sleepwear. It has a major therapeutic effect after having to deal with male clothes. You can wear so many things that are gender generic that he can push the bounds of what is male without drawing attention and turning himself into a leper. (I play the game. My wardrobe is 99% female with most being Victoria Secret labels.) Most gals crossdress wearing male clothes. On days that he does not have gym, he can wear whatever floats his boat underneath with no one being the wiser. Society does not accept TGs and never will. We deal with.
  • 1st - if the person is a born male and is transitioning to female (Which is what it sounds like it is) they're a transgender GIRL. If you say they're a boy then you'll give the wrong impression. As for the question it depends. If you do it slowly, that's normally for situations were there's places they're not out yet, or need to dress as their previous gender. But if there's no need for the clothes, then by all means switch them quickly. I think that's what I did, but I don't know I was 7 and had been wearing my uncles old clothes all my life.
  • Start them slow to adjust to the change ...in time she will only have the desire to dress all female
  • I'm transgendered the other way, and I changed my wardrobe gradually, mainly because of not being "out" to the people I lived with. It just depends on your situation and how easy or difficult it is for the person to live full time as their gender of choice. I appreciate that it's harder for m2f transexuals than it is for f2ms.
