| ARTICLES RELATED TO List of transgender-related topics | | | |  List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Cross-dressing - ClothesThe actual determination of cross-dressing is largely socially constructed. For example, in Western society, trousers have been adopted for wear by women. This is generally not regarded as cross-dressing. In cultures where men have traditionally worn skirt-like garments such as the kilt or sarong these are not seen as female clothing, and wearing them is not seen as cross-dressing for men.
As societies are becoming more global in nature, both men and women are adopting styles of dress associated with other cultures. Surfers in ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Cross-dressing - Varieties of cross-dressing There are many different kinds of cross-dressing, and many different reasons why an individual might engage in cross-dressing behavior. The following examples are by no means an exhaustive list.
Some people cross-dress as a matter of comfort or style. They have a preference towards clothing which is only marketed to or associated with the opposite sex. In this case, a person's cross-dressing may or may not be visible to other people.
Some people c ...

| | | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Transsexuality - Retransitions While rare, transsexuals sometimes choose to retransition to their original sex. However, every recent study done on the number of these cases states that their number is well below 1%, and that the reasons for retransitioning are very diverse. See this article in the International Journal of Transgenderism for examples.
These cases are often cited as reasons for the lengthy triadic process outlined in the Standards of Care, which specifies a treatment process combining psychological, hormonal, and surgical care. While many hav ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Socialization The process through which the individual learns and accepts roles is called socialization. Socialization works by encouraging wanted and discouraging unwanted behavior. These sanctions by agencies of socialization such as the family, schools, and the media make it clear to the child what the behavioral norms it ought to follow are. The child typically follows the examples of its parents, siblings and teachers. Mostly, accepted behavior is not produced by outright coercion. The individual has choice as to if or to what extent he or she conforms. Typical encouragements of gender role behavior are no longer ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Criticism of Biologism Gender roles have long been a staple of the Nature/Nurture debate: Traditional theories of gender usually assume that one's gender identity, and hence one's gender role, is a natural given. For example, it is often claimed in Western societies that women are naturally more fit to look after children. The idea that differences in gender roles originate in differences in biology has found support in parts of the scientific community. 19th-century anthropology sometimes used descriptions of the imagined life of paleolithic hunter-gatherer socie ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Talcott Parsons' views of gender roles Working in the United States, Talcott Parsons5 developed a model of the nuclear family in 1955. (At that place and time, the nuclear family was considered to be the prevalent family structure.) It compared a strictly traditional view of gender roles to a more liberal view.
Parsons believed that the feminine role was an expressive one, whereas the masculine role, in his view, was instrumental. He believed that expressive activities of the woman fulfill 'internal' fu ...

| | | | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Changing roles Gender role is composed of several elements. A person's gender role can be expressed through clothing, behaviour, choice of work, personal relationships and other factors.
Gender roles were traditionally divided into strictly feminine and masculine gender roles, though these roles have diversified today into many different acceptable male or female gender roles. However, gender role norm's for women and men can vary significantly from one country or culture to another, even within a country or culture. Peopl ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Culture and Gender roles Ideas of appropriate behaviour according to gender vary among cultures and era, although some aspects receive more widespread attention than others. An interesting case is described by R.W. Connell in Men, Masculinities and Feminism:
"There are cultures where it has been normal, not exceptional, for men to have homosexual relations. There have been periods in 'Western' history when the modern convention that men suppress displays of emotion did not apply at all, when men were demonstrative about their feeling for their friends. Mateship in the Aus ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Heteronormativity - Concept The term was coined by Michael Warner in 1991 in his Social Text article, "Introduction: Fear of a Queer Planet" (Social Text, 1991; 9 (4 [29]): 3-17.), one of the first major works of queer theory. The concept can probably be traced back to the work of Adrienne Rich and her notion of compulsory heterosexuality. In a series of recent articles Samuel A. Chambers has tried to theorize heteronormativity more explicitly, calling for an understanding of heteronormativity as a concept that reveals the expectations, demands, and constraints produced when heterosexu ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Heteronormativity - Heteronormativity and patriarchy Heteronormativity is often strongly associated with (and sometimes even confused with) patriarchy. However, a patriarchal system does not necessarily have a binary gender system, and vice versa; it merely privileges the masculine gender over all others, regardless of the number of others.
Still, heteronormativity is often seen as one of the pillars of a patriarchal society: The traditional role of men is reinforced and perpetuated through heteronormative mores, rules, and even laws that distinguish between individuals based on their a ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Brief Description of Gender Roles In Prison Gender roles in prison go further than the "Don't drop the soap" joke. The truth is that some prisoners, either by choice or by force, take on strict 'female roles' according to prison set guidelines. For instance, a 'female' in prison is seen as timid, submissive, passive, and a means of sexual pleasure. When entering the prison environment some inmates "turn out" on their own free will, meaning they actively pursue the 'female role' in prison to gain some form of social power and/or prestige. Other, unlucky inmates, are forced to partake i ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Sexual orientation and gender roles Traditional gender roles include male attraction to females, and vice versa. Gay, lesbian, bisexual people, and others usually don't conform to these expectations. An active conflict over the cultural acceptability of non-heterosexuality rages worldwide. (See Societal attitudes towards homosexuality.) The belief or assumption that heterosexual relationships and acts are "normal" is described — largely by the opponents of this v ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Gender roles and feminism Most feminists argue that traditional gender roles are oppressive for women. They assume that the female gender role was constructed as an opposite to an ideal male role, and helps to perpetuate patriarchy.
For approximately the last 100 years women have been fighting for equality (Especially in the 1960's with second-wave feminism and radical feminism, which are the most notable feminist movements) and were able to make changes to the traditionally accepted feminine gender role. However, ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Transgender - Alternative Dressing Drag involves wearing highly exaggerated and outrageous costumes or imitating movie and music stars of the opposite sex. It is a form of performing art practiced by drag queens and drag kings. Drag is often found in a gay or lesbian context. The term "drag king" can also apply to people from the female-to-male side of the transgender spectrum who do not see themselves as exclusively male identified, therefo ...

| | | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Cross-dressing - Analyses
Cross-dressing - Female-bodied cross-dressers.
The behaviour of women in general has historically often received less attention than that of men, and cross-dressing is no exception. However, there are some famous examples of cross-dressing female-bodied persons in history (see Famous historical examples of cross-dressing people below).
Cross-dressing among women in modern Western societies seems to be rare. Yet the question of how many people cross-dress is difficult to answer, as it depends on social norm ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Cross-dressing - Usage Every society throughout history has had a set of norms, views, guidelines, or laws, regarding the wearing of clothing and what is appropriate for each sex. Cross-dressing is behavior which runs counter to those norms and therefore can be seen as a type of transgender behavior. It is not, however, necessarily transgender identity since a person who cross-dresses does not always identify with another sex.
The term cross-dressing denotes an action or a behavior without attributing or proposing causes for that behavior. Som ...

| | | | | List of transgender-related topics: Encyclopedia II - Castration - Castration In Veterinary Practice Castration is common in animal husbandry and animal fancy, where it is intended for favouring a given desired development of the animal or of its habits. Spaying and neutering of household pets is encouraged to prevent overpopulation of unwanted animals.
Castration - In animal fancy.
Usually domestic pets are subject to castration in order to avoid sexual frustration or sexual contacts and consequent reproduction. In the case of pets, this is usually called neutering. Breeding specimens are kept entire and fetch higher prices when sold ...
