They downplay the ‘shape’ and ‘passing’ issues, considering these to be irrelevant, and, instead, focus on the nice attire they have. If you claim that late-onset transsexualism is an outgrowth of cross gender sexuality then many transwomen say you invalidate their identity.I guess you could say there are many shades of transgender, from those that clearly identify as the opposite sex on the one hand (transsexual), through those that refuse to identify with one sex or the other (gender queer) to crossdreamers who identify with their birth sex but nevertheless are fascinated by the idea of being the opposite sex. Once you take a single tablet you’re happy with your biological gender and never have dysphoria again or the yearning to be a woman. Once you get to the point where you aren’t worried about drawing unwanted attention, you will be ready for the next step!

It may not be caused by some kind of autism, but result from having an identity that doesn't fit with social expectations.

To smile is a very calculated gesture I coulnd't do without a long training: it still causes me a bit of troubles, but certainly I am at a point I lead ppl to think my smiles are spontaneuos and natural (even "pretty"). Many observers now argue that the Republican Party's obsession with "culture wars" will cost them dearly in the 2014 election. I have been raised in an environment that wasn't the best for encouraging academic goals (I'd dare say, it was quite the opposite: intensely discouraging), but i have managed to learn English and other languages (also basic notions of music and classical piano) as a self-taught.

Gay men and male cross dressers will generally enjoy it because they find male clothes gender appropriate and get a kick out of looking good as a man. I completely missed the Bitstrips ‘fashion’ when it spammed half the world on Facebook, and just found it recently, and, as you might have noticed, I quickly became a fan 🙂 You might have read about my early attempts of trying to hire a comics artist to draw something from me — a rather long story — which utterly failed.
