Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male feminization for fun and growth? Why not? It's a question that critical thinkers ask about many subjects. Everyday there's someone who sees something and instead of saying no they ask, why not? What if the Wright brothers agreed with everyone that man can't fly? What if Henry Ford believed like everyone else that there could be no mass production? What if Galileo gave up on the idea that the world is round and not flat like the Church wanted him to? If something can be beneficial for you or others, but the accepted societal view says it's wrong, does that really make it wrong? Male-to-female crossdressing is one of those things. Sometimes viewed as an unmanly due to societal paradigms and beliefs and called a deviant behavior, it's carried a stigma with it. Does that mean it shouldn't be done? Women are allowed to cross-dress; it has become commonplace for women to wear men's styles of clothing, yet men are forced to stay in men's clothes. Dresses, skirts, stockings and all the feminine accoutrements have fallen to the wayside for most women today, and it's perfectly acceptable for them to wear flannel shirts with jeans, or sweatpants with sneakers or flat shoes. Why not? Why shouldn't a male be offered the same flexibility? Until the time comes when open-mindedness is more prevalent, and paradigms and beliefs are changed, it's still possible to do in secret or with likeminded people and groups, and the benefits are just as great. To balance the individual's masculine and feminine energies and activate the rise on Maslow's hierarchy of needs is not a trivial thing, and that is just one of many benefits it brings. If you, a person close to you, a spouse or partner, or a friend of yours is involved in male-to-female crossdressing, has an interest in it, or is bored and wants to try something new and exciting, then drop the veil of illusions by creating a new feminine illusion and thrive. Read on and see what benefits can follow in this thoughtful short read that just might improve your or someone else's life-or at least help you understand it better. Look inside now.

Download or read book Arresting Dress written by Clare Sears and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1863, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors passed a law that criminalized appearing in public in “a dress not belonging to his or her sex.” Adopted as part of a broader anti-indecency campaign, the cross-dressing law became a flexible tool for policing multiple gender transgressions, facilitating over one hundred arrests before the century’s end. Over forty U.S. cities passed similar laws during this time, yet little is known about their emergence, operations, or effects. Grounded in a wealth of archival material, Arresting Dress traces the career of anti-cross-dressing laws from municipal courtrooms and codebooks to newspaper scandals, vaudevillian theater, freak-show performances, and commercial “slumming tours.” It shows that the law did not simply police normative gender but actively produced it by creating new definitions of gender normality and abnormality. It also tells the story of the tenacity of those who defied the law, spoke out when sentenced, and articulated different gender possibilities.

Download or read book Living with Crossdressing written by Savannah Hauk and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From borrowing and expanding on sections of 'Types of Crossdressers' and 'Savannah's Story' from Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal to discussing topics of self-assessment and self-discovery of gender and sexual identity, Savannah Hauk is back to bring male-to-female crossdressers the information and tools to best find their place in the world. Each of us is a unique creature, even as we strive to fit in within the fabric of society.What makes us so special? From the complexities of our biology to how we grow into our gender identity and our physical outward expression, from how we would like to be addressed with preferred pronouns to whom we are sexually and romantically attracted, the answer to each of these concepts is part of the whole of our Combination of Life. Each component can change as we evolve with more understanding of who we are, each piece of the puzzle mutually exclusive of the others. While some of the reading will sound familiar, Living with Crossdressing: Discovery Your True Identity takes you, dear crossdresser, on a journey of self-discovery. It will give you the courage to ask yourself the most important questions about your dual gender identity. The answers to why you need a beautiful periodic feminine expression are waiting. You only need a little bit of courage and honesty to discover them for yourself.

Download or read book Male to Female Crossdressing in Early Modern English Literature written by Simone Chess and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines and theorizes the oft-ignored phenomenon of male-to-female (MTF) crossdressing in early modern drama, prose, and poetry, inviting MTF crossdressing episodes to take a fuller place alongside instances of female-to-male crossdressing and boy actors’ crossdressing, which have long held the spotlight in early modern gender studies. The author argues that MTF crossdressing episodes are especially rich sources for socially-oriented readings of queer gender—that crossdressers’ genders are constructed and represented in relation to romantic partners, communities, and broader social structures like marriage, economy, and sexuality. Further, she argues that these relational representations show that the crossdresser and his/her allies often benefit financially, socially, and erotically from his/her queer gender presentation, a corrective to the dominant idea that queer gender has always been associated with shame, containment, and correction. By attending to these relational and beneficial representations of MTF crossdressers in early modern literature, the volume helps to make a larger space for queer, genderqueer, male-bodied and queer-feminine representations in our conversations about early modern gender and sexuality.

Download or read book Spectrums of Shakespearean Crossdressing written by Courtney Bailey Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since young male players were the norm during the English Renaissance, were all cross-dressed performances of female characters played with the same degree of seriousness? Probably not. Spectrums of Representation in Shakespearean Crossdressing examines these varied types of female characters in English Renaissance drama, drawing from a range of play texts themselves in order to investigate if evidence exists for varying performance practices for male-to-female crossdressing. This book argues for a reading of the representation of female characters on the English Renaissance stage that not only suggests categorizing crossdressing along a spectrum of theatrical artifice, but also explores how this range of artifice enriches our understanding of the plays. The scholarship surrounding cross-dressing rarely makes this distinction, since in our study of early modern plays we tend to accept as a matter of course that all crossdressing was essentially the same. The basis of Spectrums of Representation in Shakespearean Crossdressing is that it was not.

Book excerpt: The topic is male-to-female transformation. Some people call it makeover, that works too. The text is written predominantly from the view that you are new to crossdressing and feminisation but want to develop a female persona of some kind be it permanent or just for a temporary indulgence. If you are an old hand then you may also find a few helpful tips or insights that will further enhance your look, style, or dressing technique. An assumption is that you were not socialised as a girl. As a result, we need to revisit and spend time on all the little things females seem to find so natural and take for granted. Getting in touch with your femininity is a mixture. An ensemble if you will of lots of things. When you see an ultra-feminine woman, the way she acts and dresses, the way she walks and talks, and oozes sensuality you know there is something more going on than just putting on a dress. Part I considers what you want to achieve with your girl time. We look at what makes us physically one sex or another and how flexible and open this is to change. Then we move onto how to treat your body right and indulge in all those little things that make a woman feminine. In Part 2 we go on to consider ways to sculpt or contour your body so that it remains in proportion but more idealistically female. We look at boobs, butts, and tucking. In Part 3 we move onto dressing the body. We consider the wonderful world of sexy lingerie and underwear and how the right materials and textures can give you that lovely feminine feel. Then we look at clothes and how the right cut and hang of materials as well as patterning and combinations can flatter your figure. And, finally we consider movement and deportment. In particular, how to walk in those ultimate expressions of female sexuality your heels. ****The material is arranged into nine helpful chapters that not only produce a more female appearance but also develop feminine traits and work on your socialisation into female ways. We also give you a shopping list for the things you need at each stage. Chapter 1 looks at why people dress and the idea of being feminine.

Chapter 8 shows you how to dress right for your body type and get the best look you can with your proportions. We consider cuts of clothes and the type of shoes that every girl should know about.
