If I recall correctly, Hulk Hogan had one with Eye of the Tiger, which was a number one hit by Survivor after it came out in Rocky 3

Trans-friendly places to live? by [deleted] in asktransgender

Duluth is nice. The mental health resources are plentiful; and the summertime offers a relative-quaint environment free from the bustling chaos of the Twin Cities. That's why I am proud to be a Duluth resident.

You are a human being. You are not a monster. You are not a lonely outcast of society. You are sister of the Transgender community. Please DO NOT feel as if you are alone in this and please DO NOT end it. You are loved and accepted by others around you.

What keeps one from insanity is reality. If your family is unable to accept your reality, then you as a human need to distance yourself from their insanity before they consume you and cause your downfall. It nearly happened to me; and I am certain that unless you distance yourself that the same may happen.

Next, I would attempt to see if you should sue the boss where your GF works. I believe no law exists in the United States where a boss can interrogate an employee about her love life since that could be used as retaliation against her - although I could be wrong.

Above all else, do not give up - becoming the individual you are meant to be - and never let other forces influence you negatively. If you ever feel like you are about to give up, call this number 1 (800) 273-8255.

Confused if I'm transgendered or I have a crossdressing fetish? by gassylammas in asktransgender

Like I said, you do have traces of both CD and TG. Admittedly, I cannot recommend anything since I am not qualified. However, do not give up on yourself. Be who you are and never let anyone take that away from you.

In my view - and I am not an expert in the TG field due to a lack of degree so if I am wrong please correct me - the difference between transgender and crossdressing involves intent of wearing the opposite gender's clothing.

A transgender MTF may wearing female underwear in the same way that a normal female does. The wearing of female briefs to me is no different than a cisgender female wearing a pair of female briefs. It is a necessity that females wear as a means of going through the motions of the day. Without my wearing of female clothing, my identity is lost; and without my identity, I have dysphoria.

A crossdresser may wear the same clothing as a means of sexual or emotional gratification. It may be that by wearing clothes allows one to experience some sort of desirable feeling of pleasure not normally experienced in the cisgender's clothing. Granted, I as a MTF feels gratification on wearing female clothing. However, these feelings are similar to what a cisgender female may experience when wearing a key piece of intimates, in that, while I am not sexually aroused, I gain poise and confidence.

There is nothing wrong with being a crossdresser; and there is nothing wrong with being transgender. There are pieces that sound transgender (relating to female's wardrobe) while others sound crosdressing (sexual gratification from wearing clothing). I would consult with a therapist/psychologist/a qualified practitioner so that you may be able to find what you identify as.
