What's the Difference Between A Tranny And Cross-dresser?

AnChrist/Agorist here. In the last few years, I've noticed no one uses the term cross-dresser any more and anything involving opposite-gender clothes-wearing/hair-styling is labeled as being a Trap/Tranny. I might just be too traditionalist, but I really don't get this shit. Can someone explain what the difference is between a Trap and a Cross-Dresser and why people have decided that every cross-dresser = Tranny these days?

trap=/=tranny

You've just started using imageboards more/they have creeped more into other spaces. Trap has always been the standard word on chans.

A tranny feels like the oposite sex, and often dresses accordingly
A crossdresser only dresses as the oposite sex as a fetis
A trap isicrossdresses a male that crossdresses to get ez dick

Now you just have me more confused.

I don't think you are going to get consistent definitions for slurs people throw around.

I've actually been using imageboards less and less because I've been working longer hours to get the kids through private schooling.


It sounds like a trap = crossdresser from that definition though, but when did crossdressing specifically become a fetish? It used to just be a joke thing people did. The fuck?

A trap's a trap, that's always been a pretty standard thing. It's just the mixup of trap and crossdresser that confuse the fuck out of me.

trap=crossdresser basically

It's misleading terminology. Tranny is based on the trans part of the two following words: Transsexual, and Transvestite. It could mean either. Transexual is someone trying to become the opposite sex. Transvestite is somebody that dresses as the opposite sex, but does not necessarily want to become them or even feel like them. Strictly speaking, tomboys could be classified as transvestites in many cases, even if they remain totally feminine outside of their clothing choices.

Nice socialism guys

Trap just means a guy that looks like a girl. This goes back to YTMND history, when Admiral Ackbar's "IT'S A TRAP" quote became a popular meme (at the time called fads). There was one image in particular it was applied to, an extremely effeminate Asian teen in a one-piece swimsuit in which you could barely make out the contour of a half-hard dick beneath. But if you missed the subtle change in shading, he looked like a pretty attractive ~17 year old girl in a swimsuit.

wew, found it

Anyways. They're called traps because of the shame straight guys would feel to finding out after the fact that they just fapped to a dude.

Not really.
Trap = faggot that pass as a girl.


That pic is shopped you retard. That's actually a real girl.

Trans gender means someone who identifies with a different gender than their natural sex.

Cross dressing is someone who identifies as one sex but dresses differently i.e. a self identifying male that wears a dress.

Now get the idpol outta here

A trap must pass as a girl but does not necessitate being homosexual. And if the anime fangirl market is anything to judge by, there's plenty of heterosexual desire for such males.

As for whether that's photoshopped or not, I don't know. It's just one of the most prolific images from when 'trap' was taking on its new memetic meaning. You could just as easily post Bridget or Bill Kaulitz.

So it's like the difference between Gender Dysphoria and Gender Dysmorphia?

I was thinking of a different term and I can't remember it. Fuck.

Anyways, heating up breakfast but still here trying to sort this shit out. I'll post what I think I've concluded when the chicken's done cooking.

It sounds like a lot of cross dressers are mislabeling themselves as trans though because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Is this where that tumblr gender fluid crap comes from?

If there was no dick your post would have at least 10 replies by now saying "fuck off pedo" or something of similar caliber. Really gets those brain cells into action…

Also what the fuck does this thread have to do with leftist politics?

Transsexuality means actually identifying as the other gender and has no further implications.
If they do transition, they'll do hormones and often operations. The terms Trap and Crossdressing do not apply, unless you're one of those "they're not real girls" and have to be a dick about it because this is somehow an important political issue for you how they have to deal with their mental illness.

Trap just means they simply can be mistaken for girls. It doesn't necessarily mean they're crossdressing, but it usually goes hand in hand.

Crossdressing can be done by rather masculine looking men too that wouldn't pass - and therefore aren't traps.
Fetish may play a role, but doesn't have to. Drag Queens of all sorts fall into that category as well. Crossdressing only really refers to the clothes worn, and nothing beyond that.

absolutely nothing

cross-dressers don't engage in gay sex; for some reason they just have a compulsion to dress and act as the opposite sex (often in a cliche or stereotypical manner, as an act of performance art–such as Divine)

transvestites are gay

becuz in the US, leftists are the gay faggit party

No, I'm pretty sure most cross dressers know what they are, but in order to do that shit i'd imagine you question yourself once in a while

It's because it's an ancient picture newfag.

Trans actually see themselves as the other gender so it's technically not gay.

If a cross dresser is trying to get fucked by the same gender then they're a trap and it's gay

if a crossdresser passes as a trap it's only gay for the crossdresser, not the one fucking him. the non-trap crossdresser on the other hand needs a gay to have himself fucked.

The even if it's a passable trap, so long as you know it's a guy it's gay imo

it's gay either way.

Ok, so let me make sure I got this shit right…

Trap: Gay /cuteboy/ looking for some boipussy
Cross-Dresser: Not something done for shits and giggles but an actual sexual fetish even though people do it in public, nothing beyond a sexual fetish
Tranny: Someone who has either mutilated their genitals or who identifies as a man or a woman.

And all the other genderqueer apache helicopter shit can go suck on a cactus, right?


Then why do they appropriate the ladyboy genre in Asia as being Trans when a lot of ladyboys don't identify as women?

But they aren't real boys and/or girls and they do need mental help. That's not to say we need some Pence-style shock therapy bullshit, but it is a mental illness.

...

And then you have people like me who are transwomen, on HRT but never want surgury, and I exclusively fuck other transgender people.

gay means attraction to the same sex
trap means passing as the opposite sex
how are traps gay?

it's taken as an example to let people just express themself, as a culture where it's acceptable. doesn't imply they're all transsexual, doesn't matter.
that's not the question here. leave it to therapists how to deal with it, don't be a rude faggot yelling "HURR YOUR NOT A REAL GRILL". transitioning is a therapy, if that's what they want to do, let them do.

ITT: idpol

no. someone passing as opposite gender. nothing more.
no. wearing clothing of the opposite gender. nothing more.
only the latter, just worded wrong. identifying as the opposite gender.
correct.

if you were to pass as a girl by your looks, you'd be a trap. doesn't take anything more than that. no other implications

if you were to wear women clothing as a male, you'd be crossdressing. no further implications.

if you're identifying as the opposite sex, you're trans. nothing more to it.

Tranny: A guy dressed like a girl who pretend to be a girl.

Cross-dresser: A guy dressed like a girl who doesn't pretend to be a girl.

wrong


ftfy

But what about user?

Girls can crossdress as guys too though

You didn't fix anything idiot

Oh god, now I'm questioning what the difference is between a tom boy and a female cross-dresser, and I keep thinking of trannys and I don't even know any more.

Know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna go drop off lunch for the kids, maybe stop by the gym, and smoke a blunt with the wife tonight. This is all fucking confusing as all shit.

duh


was talking about trans, not "tranny". there's no contradiction between mine and that other anons post. it's complemantary even.

and it really doesn't even matter, so yeah, have a nice day

(checked)
You too, satan. Thanks for trying to help explain this stuff to me.

Don't even bother with it, except if your wife or one of your kids is a tranny of course.

and you haven't even begun to explore the sublime object of the modern boi

My little sister allegedly identifies as genderfluid, but she's also a former cutter, high school dropout (despite being an honors student), and then meth addict, so she's pretty much a lost cause to me at this point for trying to understand all this. God wills people to help themselves, so…

So your christian but you don't even help your sister and let "God" deals with her?

all of this is for the most just bourgeoise individualism, splitting into identities arbitrarily through the classes, creating false images of interclass solidarity between such identity groups, false frictions within classes and so on.

I've been trying to help her for seven years now. If she ever needs help with something, she has my number and knows where I live.

People have to help themselves, user. Don't be a fedora about this.

Those pictures are barely worth spoiling, you disappoint me

god isn't real. he's a fiction you use to justify leaving your sister to her own devices

I couldn't remember if I was posting from my sfw or nsfw folder

deal with it

Trannies take HRT, which can and will seriously fuckup your life if you're a "transtrender" or whatever the buzzword is, get Face Reassignment Surgery which is painful as all hell during the first few days etc. etc. etc.

you just created a buzzword for your little polemik. why are you so butthurt over people considering doing it? have you been raped by a tranny?

Well now I'm just sad

Who the fuck cares about this idpol?
those are just mentaly ill people

I'm literally not user. I'm saying there's a difference between people who wear dresses because they're AGP and people who go through extremes to change gender. I'm answering the question OP asked, out of experience

Pic related

AGP stands for what?

Enjoy

Low effort post sage

Now you can start posting from your nsfw folder.

what has that to do with gender reassignment?

You can't change gender, you can just fuck up your body.

The difference between a crossdresser and a tranny is the crossdresser is doing it up for fun. The tranny is afflicted with a mental disorder that makes them feel they were "born in the wrong body" aka dysphoria. It's not much different than schizophrenia or BIID.

so what's your point?
one of them is okay because it's for fun and a kink, the other is bad because it'd help them deal with a mental issue?
and it really bothers you because there is some deep ideological meaning behind all of this?

No, everyone is entitled to live their own lives. You wanna get breast implants and suck down a bunch of hormones? Great. You do you.

The problem with trannies is they try to force the rest of us into participating with their shit. It's the only mental illness where we're compelled to indulge the person's delusions. Not to mention 99% of them seem to be mentally unstable and create endless drama.

If you're on the chans you're most likely mentally ill as well

How has this still not been cleared up?

Trap: Born with a penis, but looks like a girl if you don't see the dick. Anything else doesn't really matter, can identify as male and be straight, can identify as female and be not, irrelevant. Usually though traps are pre-OP MtFs who are passing very well.

Crossdresser: Again born with a penis, but likes to dress up in woman's clothing. Doesn't have to pass as a girl. Can just be a fetish (humiliation for example), but often it's the first step for men to transitioning.

Tranny/MtF/Transgender/Shemale: Someone who was born male but identifies as the other gender. Can be pre-OP, can be post-OP, can even be transitioning or not. Doesn't matter.

Drag: A man dressing up as a woman in a public and extravagant way, it's more of a fashion statement than anything else. Can again identify as anything and be of any sexuality, it's commonly associated with the gay scene however.

Genderqueer: A catch-all for everyone not fitting under the common dichotomy of male/female. Someone currently transitioning for example would be genderqueer, as would someone who is confused about their gender orientation. Genderfluid/agender/third gender are terms for people who do not strictly identify as male or female and wish to stay either permanently or temporarily between the two genders. For example someone born as a man might have phases where they feel male, where they feel female, where they feel like both and where they don't concern themselves with their gender at all. They could dress and look androgynous and take hormones or not. That would place them somewhere in between male/female.
Stuff like postgender is more of a political/philosophical opinion, although usually motivated by personal feelings of being genderqueer.

this is tumblr bullshit that only exists because dumb kids want to feel special. There is no "gender binary", nobody is a walking stereotype, everyone is a combination of traits. Saying you're "genderqueer" is like saying "you're a human" and being proud about it.

...

That pretty much sums up millennials

Trap - A trap must identify as a man/boy and have a penis. He must also be considered sexually appealing to a significant portion of straight men. Basically if you are a man with a penis that makes straight men question their sexuality, you are a trap.

Tranny - Mostly refers to transgender individuals. Considered a slur by the LGBT community. Also it is the name of a porn genre featuring people who look like women but have penises (not necessarily just transgender women, can include traps too).

Transgender - An individual who's gender identity does not align with societal norms for their body type. This can be because of gender dysphoria, which is a mental illness where aspects of your body related to gender expression give you crippling anxiety. For instance you can be anxious about your penis, but you can also be anxious about broad shoulders, muslces, hair, or a square jaw. It can also be because you have anxiety not because of your body per se, but because of the expectations others have from you because of your body type. For instance, you can be anxious about being expected to be dominant, wear mens clothes, not act like a fag, etc. I suspect most transgender people experience a combination of the two.

Crossdresser - Must identify as a man while wearing clothing traditionally associated with women as a hobby.

non-binary people are pretty much just transgender people with less / more infrequent dysphoria

they are like the bisexuals of the transgender community

Some clarification

Traps don't have to necessarily wear women's clothes, but they do have to look good in them if they did, emulating the way women look good in women's clothes.

Transgender women don't actually have to look like, dress like, or act like women, they just have to identify as one. They don't even have to care about pronouns but many do.

Many trans people start out considering themselves crossdressers.

Trap is mostly a label used by their admirers to describe them.
Trap admirers don't really care much about the gender identity of the person they are interested in, they just like people who look like cute girls and have penises. This is probably unfair to trans women who would not consider themselves to be "trapping" straight men. The traps themselves would probably consider themselves crossdressers or trans women. Trap is also considered a slur by the mainstream LGBT community.

You're probably a millennial as too
Which is also spooky

Generations differentiation is the true spook.

I haven't noticed this.
