Dear JC2K,
Diane is right ONLY you have the ability to say who you really are and you should speak to therapist that is specialized in trans issues
What am i a. ts/tv/tg?
Based on this paragraph of explanation... You are DEFIANTLY "Gender Dysphoric" A female brain in a male body.
http://www.symposion.com/ijt/ijtc0106.ht...
Trying hard to deal with this condition by cross dressing... I suspect you will sooner or latter make up your mind to transition... Though I could be wrong. IF you do decide to transition do it sooner rather than latter. The younger the human body the less damage the testosterone has already dun, and the more effective the estrogen will be. AND the MORE history you have as a male the harder it will be to barry the -MALE- past.
Will these feelings ever go away?
No. Sorry that's just how it is
Hugs,
PennyAnn

In truth the only person that knows is you... but as you already stated.. you are really confused.
First.. the feelings do not go away... I was able to suppress the feelings for 5 years at the most... but they were always there....
I guess the only thing to do would be to seek some therapy... not just peers who are similar..but a professional.
They will help you work out what you are feeling inside yourself. Either way . ... you are part of the TG community..
Only you will know if you are a cross dresser/transvestite or if gender transition is where you need to go..
Do not just assume that you should transition and have gender change... it is a hard and very difficult road to follow, and it may not really be what is needed... But once you change your body.. going back it even harder. You need to be certain.. it is your mind, your body and your life that will be effected for the rest of your life.

You don't give enough information to know. At moment all you seem to be is a man who likes to wear woman's underwear and none of the above.
Trans - means a cross between. Gender - means the way you think about sex and the way you behave sexually. Sex - is what your genitals say about what sex you are. Vestite - refers to clothing and only to clothing. (Drag queen/kings are gay people who dress up for entertainment purposes.)
Intersexed is when a persons sexual organs are ambiguous and are not definitely of a specific sex. (Hermophadite is offensive to most.) Asexual is when a person is not interested in sex with men or women. Pansexual is when you are interested in everyone regardless of sex or gender. Bisexual is when you are interested in both men and women.
If you dressed completely as a woman on ocassion and were a heterosexual male and it did not sexually turn you on you'd be a transvestite or a crossdresser who cross-dresses.
If you feel as if the gender of your behavior and the sex of your body do not match - you'd be transgendered or more specifically transexual.
If the outside and the inside of your body do not match you would be transgendered or more specifically intersexed.
Get counseling if you are unsure or uncomfortable with your feelings. (The label doesn't really matter.) They will either be feelings of confusion and when they are resolved will go away or you will feel comfortable being who you are.

You are are a Trans gender that is denying their true feelings or are afraid or unsure if to proceed further.
But it is better to step back before you decide if you can go all the way ,up to the operation or are you happy to stay being a male acting as a female .
What you fall under is how you see your self.
These feelings may never go away, So do what makes you happy only.

"What am I?" is a question only you can answer; I suggest that you seek counselling and a psychiatric opinion; these will help you decide who and what you are, and what you need to do about it.
"Will these feelings go away?"; the short answer is NO.
Whether you're transgender or transsexual, the feelings don't go away. You might possibly be able to control them to an extent, but in my experience, if you suppress or ignore these feelings, you'll make yourself very ill. Seek help, learn who you are, stay healthy and be happy.

search around on the net for some like-minded people. you'll find that you're not alone. i see a bunch of myself in you. i am very happily a member of my born gender but sometimes i like dress up, play, and use my creative imagination to be the other. you'll notice i didn't say straight/gay, man/woman butch/fem, etc. know why? it don't matta! play's play, fantasy's fantasy, and reality is reality. if my suggestion doesn't work for you, then you may want to reconsider your surgery decision.

Cross Dresser: one who occasionally dresses in clothing of the opposite gender, but not as a regular habit.
Transvestite: One who privately dresses in the clothing of the opposite gender. This is a habitual behavior.
Trans Gender: One who holds themselves out to the public as the opposite gender but has NOT had any surgical alteration. Note that you need not have begun hormone therapy to fit in this definition.
Trans Sexual: One who has completed the surgical change to become the opposite gender.

To me, it looks like you have emotional scars and identity issues. I recommend seeing a psychiatrist to help sort out your problems. You could be gay, or you could have some sort of emotional issue from your past that haunts you, even though you may have forgot about it.
Currently, you would fall under the classification of a cross-dresser. (Not trying to offend you in any way.)

It is up to you to define who you are. Sounds like you are struggling to find your identity. Talk to a professional who is not judgmental or biased to help you to sort through your feelings. Try not to feel rushed to make a decision.
