Cross Dressing Vern L. Bullough and Bonnie Bullough, Cross Dressing, Sex, and Gender She has written four books on the topic of crossdressing "crossing gender lines" including her newest book to be published in May, 1998, Who's Really From Venus? Rudd addresses many of the questions frequently asked by the spouses, families, and friends of men who cross gender lines and candidly explores the related emotions that range from frustration to elation. boundpleasure.com /crossdress.htm   (1806 words)

Cyber Boxing Zone -- News One common objection to female and cross-gender boxing is that female boxers, not having had access to the extensive international amateur scene and generally coming to the sport later in life, are not as skilled as their male counterparts. Few other sports permit direct cross-gender matchups at the pro level; in fact, most sports have a long history of segregation in competition that would be difficult to break. Cross-gender bouts, more than anything else, will allow women to raise the caliber of their game to the point that it truly will be worth paying money to see. www.cyberboxingzone.com /boxing/cb101599.htm   (1558 words)

Andersen and Williams (1987) Gender role and sport competition anxiety: a re-examination The present study tested whether there were significant sport competition anxiety differences among sex-typed, androgynous, and cross sex-typed subjects and whether these differences were consistent with gender schema theory. Investigates differences in sport competition anxiety among sex-typed, androgynous, and cross sex-typed individuals, and explores whether these differences are consistent with gender schema theory. Approximately 700 subjects respond to the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test, and 216 of these subjects are classified as either sex-typed (masculine males and feminine females), cross sex-typed (masculine females and feminine males), or androgynous (males and females who have strong masculine and feminine dimensions). www.getcited.org /pub/103341867   (269 words)

Gender Identity Disorder in Children Gender identity problems, including cross-dressing, exclusive cross-gender play, and a lack of same-sex friends should be treated as a symptom that something may be very wrong. It is true that without treatment certain manifestations of gender identity conflicts, such as fantasy fashion doll play in boys or open cross-dressing may disappear by the time the child is eight or nine years old, but these coping mechanisms are often replaced by other less overt expressions of an underlying gender identity problem. Some people may avoid treatment because they believe that gender identity problems are a sign that the child was "born homosexual" and that the parents should simply accept this outcome as inevitable and encourage the child to accept a homosexual identity. www.narth.com /docs/fitz.html   (1932 words)

IJ TRANSGENDER - Gender Role Reversal among Postoperative Transsexuals Apart from the biographical data, special attention was given to: the development of (cross)gender identity and gender role (early and late onset), (the motives for) cross-dressing, the psycho-sexual development, body-satisfaction, present and past psychiatric history, the manifestation of the wish to undergo SRS, expectations towards the results of the SR process. Our study underlines the need for caution in the treatment of gender dysphoric individuals if there is a combination of several risk factors such as stress-related late onset of the gender conflict, fetishistic cross-dressing, psychological instability and/or social isolation. Gender role behavior and the verbal expression of regret are relevant dimensions. www.symposion.com /ijt/ijtc0502.htm   (4204 words)

AdviceHQ - Cross Dressing Although transgendered people dress according to their newly assigned gender, their reasons for 'cross-dressing' are usually for different reasons to those of transvestites. There is, therefore, a separate section for transgendered people, as their experience is usually not quite the same as that of those who cross-dress for emotional, sexual or entertainment reasons. Transvestism is a term which reflects a desire by someone of one gender to adopt the clothes, appearance and behaviour that is usually associated with the opposite gender. www.advicehq.co.uk /CrossDressing.htm   (423 words)

THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 15, Ch. 192, Psychosexual Disorders Gender identity disorder is not diagnosed if a person engages in cross-dressing or other cross-gender activities without concurrent psychologic distress or functional impairment or if a person has a physical intersex condition (eg, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ambiguous genitalia, androgen insensitivity syndrome). Although biologic factors, such as gender complement and the prenatal hormonal milieu, largely determine gender identity, the formation of a secure, unconflicted gender identity and gender role is influenced by social factors, such as the character of the parents' emotional bond and the relationship that each of them has with the child. Gender role is the objective, public expression of being male, female, or androgynous (blended). www.merck.com /mrkshared/mmanual/section15/chapter192/192c.jsp   (1107 words)

Deified, Ostracized, and Medicalized: A study of the interaction between third genders and their societies. Cross-culturally, many third gendered people are put in positions of awe, respect, and fear by their societies. Those who simply cross-dress are regarded as even more outcast than those who adopt both a gender and sexual identity opposite to the one they were born with. These third genders are not hidden away; instead they hold culturally significant roles in their communities. www.softassteel.com /files/bio/work/anth.html   (5244 words)

The Nature of Kinship: Kin Naming Systems (Part 2) In other words, there is a crossing of gender in the parent generation with cross cousins but not with parallel ones. What sets the Iroquois system apart is the fact that cross cousins are also lumped together and distinguished by gender (7 = male and 8 = female). Note that in the red patrilineage shown below, parallel cousins are members of ego's unilineage, while cross cousins are not. anthro.palomar.edu /kinship/kinship_6.htm   (5244 words)

Pride Plus - Your Everything Online Gay Store is 'OUT' to Serve You! In the Mercury Gender Symbol itself, the crescent moon at the top is supposed to represent the masculine, and the cross at the bottom represents the feminine. The pointed Mars symbol represents the male and the Venus symbol with the cross represents the female. Supposedly used as an activist symbol, it was chosen because the rhino is generally a peaceful animal, but when provoked becomes extremely ferocious. www.prideplus.com /pages/symbols.htm   (1015 words)

Verb and gender in multimedia grammar Thesis number VII of the Karlsruhe manifesto demands: "Humanities must, as it were, develop and impart a new 'grammar' of multimedial 'language'." This grammar could use the hyperlink as the verb, and the link type (hierarchical or cross-reference) as the gender of verb. The verb of this new multimedia grammar, the hyperlink, is encountered in two basic, opposite, complementary forms (which, IMO, is also constituent for the main fascination (#2) of hypertext): hierarchical links (joining parent and child nodes) on one hand, and cross references /shortcuts on the other hand. Thus having determined the sentence of the multimedial grammar, its verb is the hyperlink. www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de /~x28/en/04.htm   (146 words)

Controlling the Urge Cross dressing is not only a symbolic rejection of a socially assigned gender role. A male that cross dresses openly rejects a gender uniform that society has ordained for him. Besides seeking to generate comment about cross dressing's "dark side," I want to use it as a sounding board to focus on practical ways of eliminating or, at least, coping with some of its drawbacks. jenellerose.com /htmlpostings/darkside/ControllingtheUrge.htm   (2175 words)

Gender Identity Disorder: A Brief Description of the Problem If the individual's gender dysphoria is a relatively minor one, cross-gender lifestyle changes in periodic dressing and behaviors may be all that is necessary to ease the anxiety. Although there has been a recent increase in the mentioning of cross-gender behavior issues in the popular media, Gender Identity Disorder, as it is referred to in the American Psychological Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV, is not a new thing. Gender appears to be a continuum with most people gathered at either end, the rest being somewhere in between. webhome.idirect.com /~beech1/GENDERID.HTM   (1742 words)

Gender Identity Disorder: A Brief Description of the Problem Some gender dysphoric children internalize their dilemma and make heroic efforts to display the gender behavior expected of them, while expressing their internal sense of gender through secret play, cross-dressing, and cross-gender fantasies. As a result an individual may, as early as the age of four, find themselves aware of being caught between having the anatomy of one sex but being equipped with a gendermap much more typical of an individual of the opposite sex. With some justification, gender dysphoric people fear being called sick, uncaring, selfish and even being left aloneby the people they love the most. webhome.idirect.com /~beech1/GENDERID.HTM   (1742 words)

DSM-IV Gender Identity Disorder and Transvestic Fetishism Gender Identity disorder can be distinguished from simple noncomformity to stereo-typical sex role behavior by the extent and pervasiveness of the cross-gender wishes, interests, and activities. Depending on their age, those with a strong and persistent cross-gender identification and a persistent discomfort with his or her sex or a sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex were to be diagnosed as Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood (302.6), Adolescence, or Adulthood (302.85). During the 1960s and 1970s, clinicians used the term "true transsexual." The true transsexual was thought to be a person with a characteristic path of atypical gender identity development that predicted an improved life from a treatment sequence that culminated in genital surgery. www.genderpsychology.org /introduction/dsm_iv.html   (146 words)

UT Austin – American Studies Cross-Cultural Courses The study of popular religion forces us to confront many central concerns of American life: psychology and therapeutic culture; consumerism; race and ethnicity; gender and sexuality; apocalypticism; and the interplay of the public and the private. Divided by culture, class, race, religion, and gender, most Americans generally agree that children enter their peak years of rebellion, experimentation, and self-discovery as teenagers. This course focuses on the study of the history and culture of the recent American West through the media of paintings, lithographs, maps, popular culture, photographs, film, first-hand accounts, and literature. www.utexas.edu /student/connexus/crosscultural/liberalarts/american.html   (1540 words)
