each comment i read makes me want to respond. we have to acknowledge that these are words invented by humans: male/female. we defined them. if we had more words, a person might not feel so much like they're in the wrong body. ie if there was already a positive definition for how you were born, erin, would you then want to change your appearance and function of your body? this is a deep philosophical question. there is no right answer, and, as far as i can figure, no wrong answer.
i just read a comment 'i wear my binder when no one is around.' i'm saying here that the fact that feeling male means not having breasts is also a cultural/social feeling. in other words, if it was considered for what it is, just part of the normal spectrum to identify as male but having breasts, or identifying female but having a penis, if that was just accepted, would anyone feel the need to transition at all?
the issues of gender reassignment surgery are large. this is because of many things, from risks to costs. of course some resist this path for unfortunate moral or religious reasons. for me, as i stated awhile back in response to one of your earlier videos, i still believe it shouldn't be necessary, socially, to choose surgery to be accepted as a certain gender. that is not to say that no one should choose it, only that it shouldn't matter to anyone else ('cept maybe a prospective partner).
to a certain extent, the need to identify as one gender or another is socially motivated, as is the way in which we conform to fit the identity we wish to present. if we lived in a world where no one really cared about gender identity, where there was no status attached, for instance, there would be less need to be concerned with presentation. in a perfect world, if a kid says i'm gonna be a woman when i grow up, the world should celebrate that the kid knows that, and allow for it.
before i spend hours reading all these comments, which i will undoubtedly do, i want to say something. mostly because i will otherwise forget to say it (the teen calls this oldtimerz diseaze!)...
in some cultures, you're desire to present as female would be expressed differently. tit is masai men, for instance, who are the ones who go for adornment to attract a mate. social gender definition is what guides us to present a certain way to align/assign ourselves.
Eh, don't sweat it. I am a Cis-male, and if i were the last man on Earth, i probably wouldn't care what clothes I wore for the occasion of reaching into the Makeshift Baskets of Innovative Conversation, pulling trying to string together coherent sentences at random to cling to the last vestiges of my sanity in this solitary world of madness, why whyyyy? I'm sorry, what were we talking about
Nah I don't even worry about those things now. For me my transition is not about clothes ar voice tones. For me it is all about living in the proper body. As long as I continue to have the body of a female, then I am fine and happy.
Hi! Grishno. Longtime no see. Last person on earth huh. Yes i would sitll wear dresses and makeup and bras to impress the most important person in my life, myself. To be myself and have no one to judge you or put you down, or ridicule you. What a concept. It`s mind blowing! True freedom! But then that is just me. I allways feel alone even when i am in a crowd. Allways be yourself and care for yourself, because no one else will.
Hell ya it would matter! I am me and that does not change if I was the last person on Earth. Pronouns matter becuase I think and feel about myself as "she" and still would if no one was around. As a matter of fact that is how I spent most of my life! In the depths of that kind of isolation. I would still dress fem if I were the last person on Earth but probably a little more utilitarianly since I would have to hunt n stuff. If you're gone I am still a woman. Period.
@Septemberameadows I feel the same way! In truth, clothing has no gender we assign it such a thing. Having said that, I hate being in male clothes when I leave the house. But alas I still have things to do before going full time.
Hmm intresting i think it also depends on where you are on the path too now if i was last person on earth and i was post id be naked all the time and feel the same in my head if pre dresses all the time as if i caught a reflection in a shop window it would aline with the way my head feels but yes its all about personal perseption i think i want to look the way i feel and not for they way society wants me too good question Erin From Samara
yes i would, cuz i like the clothes i like, i love dresses. though if last person, i would wear like goth lolita stuff all the time cuz i love it, not caring bout where i am and how i should be dressing.
I try to avoid questions like this because I have a tendency to "second guess myself" if you will. I end up convincing myself to agree with something I would normally disagree with...
as for a yes or no answer, or... either that or no comment ^-^
As i'm only a part time girl (TV) I'd take each day as it comes, i'd dress as I feel like and with no one to make any coments I'd be free to dress an act as I like all the time.
So when it's nice short skirts and small tops, and when it's not so nice jeans and tshirt.
Hmmm. When there is only one, can there even BE a binary? I would say yes. But instead of someone else's definition, it would come down to you & not-you. I would probably present as the most effective slayer of post-apocalyptic zombies. Now, what do YOU think that translates to? ;-)
wait, so you're saying that the reason you present yourself as a women is because you want to attract... women?... because you're a lesbian, right? you like vaj? but you must know that most vaj wielding creatures are attracted to the opposite of vaj, which is penis, not mangina. kno wut i'm sayin? where's your logic, woman!
I don't want to transition for anyone else. I wouldn't crossdress to make people think I'm a girl, I'd crossdress to make me feel more like a girl. What they think means nothing. I'd be alone before I'd be unhappy.
I would die! To be alone all the time? I'd be so cute and the pitch of my voice would increase dramatically. Are there still animals around? I'd hope there'd be animals. I'd have my own little stuff and treat myself ever so nicely. It'd be fun. More fun with people though, most of the time.
I'm polysexual I consider transgender people to be a seperate third gender, as they were one then they changed to another, but the original gender will always remain inside, so instead of saying they're both or one or the other it's much better to classify them as neither and as the third gender.
While I get what you're saying and can agree with it on some level, I have a feeling that a lot of transsexual would take issue with that. I didn't go through this whole transition to just be a third gender, I'm going through it to become a girl... that kind of thing.
Yeah I understand that, but the fact of the matter is you will never fully be a girl, the whole third gender thing takes into consideration your past aswell as your present, polysexuals also tend to be the people that wouldn't have a problem being with a transgendered person, whereas a straight guy wouldn't probably want to be with a woman who used to be a man and neither would a gay man want to be with a woman who used to be a man and possibly not even bisexuals, however polysexuals would.
I dont' know why a bisexual would not want a trans person, I mean bi people like BOTH, so what would it matter? I've had the most luck with bi people.
It's all really a bunch of gross disfigurments and chemicals. Who's to say what is what? Humans enjoy the company of other Humans. Most of them. One gross disfigurment over another gross disfigurment. Not really a choice. To define it by gender and not simply as a mathematical structure in physical existence is silly anyway, but most people don't think like that. Causes a lot of consternation. It matters like hell to me though. lOl.
I mean physically you will still be a man inside, not mentally, I know a lot of bi's who are put off by the idea of transgendered people and pretty much 100% of my straight guy mates would never consider going out with a trans, that's why I made all those comments
Like I said, I can see where you're coming from with your statement.
Also, I've dated plenty of men who are straight and only date women... To them I am a woman... it just takes someone being comfortable enough in their sexuality to look beyond the two gender binary.
Yeah it would matter to me. (I'm transgendered too) Basically I do it for myself, not for others. It's about feeling good in my own body, I really wouldn't feel good.
I would cuz I do this for my own good. I want to feel good and sane so ...
Cuz for me there's no doubt that I'm a real boy (like pinochio haha) so it would feel very strange for me to all suddenly dress like a girl, cuz as I said, I'm not doing this for the people around me, I'm doing it for myself. ;-)
Gender is all about conformity. If you were the only person, your behavior would be conforming to your sex no matter how you acted because you would be the only one defining the gender behavior for that sex. Women don't biologically want to wear dresses; they want to wear dresses because all of the other females around them are doing it, so their social drive to fit in pushes them towards that gender role. That's why I believe sexism is the fundamental reason for all homo/transphobia.
No it wouldn't matter at all. Whether you were a girl or a guy you would dress as you do everyday. Whatever comes naturally.otherwise- cos you're the only person there you might just run around naked!
It wouldn't matter to me, because I always wear what I want to, regardless of what others believe. However, like you say, being the last person on Earth is an absurd hypothetical, and you'd have other things to worry about!
wow bendstringz420 how ignorant can you really be? Take it from another transgendered person you choose to be trans you shouldn't feel sorry for someone who wants to be something they aren't feel enlightened that someone who is strong enough to go through what so many people are terrified to go through is able to do this being transgendered is not about having butt sex all the time its about being the person you truly want and feel you should be you have no right directing someone elses life
what or or if I would wear clothes would be the last thing on my mind I should think. If I was the last person on earth, I could finally not wear any ! unless I was cold ... I would be thinking about survival/food/safety.
I have no idea how I found this channel. For some reason I must have stumbled onto it and saved it under my You Tube folder of my browsers Favorites. Anyway regarding sex, people have problems distiguishing which I am. I've been called "Maam" and "Sir". I hear kids arguing which sex I am. I think it's strange. All indications are that I'm Adrongynous. I took a COGIATI test and a BEM test. They, both, say I'm an Androgyn. I wonder, do these tests have any meaning?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You will never be a girl dude, I feel sorry for people who want to be something they arent. Its still your life, I just hope your kids smarter than you are, stop doing drugs and you might figure out life isnt about having butt sex all the time.
I'd be too sad to care what I look like if I were really the last person on earth. I'd be more worried about releasing animals from the zoo and stuff.
I think this is a dumb question! If you were the last PERSON on earth, would you even care about your appearance at all? Combing your hair, ironing your clothes, matching and/or color coordinating your outfits... That scenario would leave ANYONE without any cause or interest in "presenting" at all. Sorry love, IDIOTIC question.
if i were the last tranny and person on earth, i would definately present as a lady. that is 1 thing that cant be taken away from me it is who i am and how i identify. though surviving would be the first priority
How you feel you are and what you are can be two totally different things. Seems to me that transgendered people are too focused on their gender and not their totality as a person.
That's an interesting philosophical question. You should not read into your feeling on this. I'll explain why. It is because not only would gender identity be irrelevant, but as the last person on earth, gender itself would be irrelevant. You would then be the only human. Without other people the difference in interactions disappears.
By the way, I like the longer hair, that looks very nice.
I would still 'present' I guess, because I do it at home, when I'm alone. I'm not acting, I'm just being myself. It's more about how I feel than how people perceive me.
That is why you should never take your kids to a shrink. These bastards brainwash people with Freudian Philosophy that is not based on any science and they end up telling your kid that he is a girl trapped in a boy's body or that your daughter is a boy trapped in a girl's body. This is complete bullshit. There is no way to scientifically analyze or define this. The diagnosis is based on philosophy not and science. Your kid might as well be diagnosed as being Hercules, Homer or Huckleberry Finn
Really when you think about it, being alone forever reduces your identity to "me" and nothing else. I would be an entity to myself, belonging to no one. I would have nothing to relate my identity to, and therefore I would own it entirely. No nationality, age group, species, or gender. None of it would exist, and my persona and presentation would be made of whatever I fancied myself at that moment.
The trick is to imagine yourself *happy* as the last person on earth. That makes it clearer to me.
Somehow this is a really easy question for me. I would wear "female" clothing everyday. I would dance down the empty street in dresses, skirts, and tight jeans. I would only wear make-up if I felt festive. I'd wear my hair long. I'd wear pretty jewelery. I'd walk into empty bars and make "girly" drinks. I wouldn't struggle to "look like" a woman. I'd just be me.
Sometimes I would go hiking and wear cowboy boots, jeans, and flannel, but only if I wanted to dress butch. I'd still be just me.^_^
hmm, tis a good question. i would still want permenant hair removal, n srs. but doubt i would really bother taking hormones. though i think if you have srs you must take hormones or your body starts to break down. makeup n hair wouldnt really matter, well maybe the colored chapstick. n practical cloths after i get tired of playing dress up in every mall around (thanks for the idea Rhonda557)
i would definatly dress as a girl still i mean im transitioniing for me not for what other people think of me but i havent realy dressed as girl much yet
I agree that survival would be the priority. That said I would still dress/present as female. It's more for my own comfort than for anyone else's benefit. Even when I stay home I still present as female, maybe a little less work on hair/makeup but otherwise. It's that or never look at a reflection again.
Also , and this may sound a little morbid but... I figure if I'm going to die one way or another (starvation, disease, loneliness or my personal favourite... ZOMBIE ATTACK! :o) I would really rather not die as a "male" as weird and silly as that may sound.
I understand people who say it wouldn't matter as much to them but I can't honestly say I that it wouldn't matter to me. Probably makes me sound a bit vain but I'm sure most of you can also understand why someone would feel this way too. :s
if I was the last person on earth i would still dress as a woman yet I wouldnt wear makeup as much because I wouldnt really have anyone to impress, but yes i would still dress as a girl.
I don't mean to get off topic just a little bit, but my mind wonders about being the last person on earth? The first place I would go is the abandon department stores in which I don't have to worry about people looking over my shoulder trying to figure out my gender.Just imagine all of the women clothing that I brought home, I would be a happy lady.
Would *anything* really matter anymore if you were the last person left on Earth? That's the question I would have instead. I think I would still dress comfortably (or not at all, as mentioned earlier), which for me would be feminine, like I do at home whether alone or not. But we are social animals and need that to survive. If there was no one else alive, this question would soon become moot, I think. Who would want to live in that world for long? I'm glad we all have each other. :)
As I do everyday,,I dress as the gender that I am regardless of all outside conditions. My dress expression is for me,,no one else on the planet but me. When I work at home as I often do my dress is consistent with whom I am, a girl
No it wouldn't matter to me because I'd go butt-naked all the time. If I was the last person on earth, then I'd be surrounded by animals and they're not wearing clothes, so why should I? If I was the last person on earth then it wouldn't matter what gender I was since there would be no one left around to impress or envy. It's not like I'ma envy the cheetah for it's spots or try to impress a cat to want me. So, not my gender wouldn't matter to me at all.
I would run around next to naked in a loin cloth... Hahah... No seriously though very good question and an interesting prose! Ask Dr. Robert Neville he is Legend!
wow this video blog got me thinking, hmm i never thought about a question like the one that the person had asked you. well this my reply: if i was the last person on earth i would continue living happily as my true gender identity in women clothing. one thingy for sure is that at least i wouldn't have to worry about the teasing and bullying anymore and that i can walk the streets safely.
I probably wouldn't wear clothes if I were the last person on earth. Or shower. Or brush my teeth... It's probably a good thing the rest of you are still here.
I'm a gaming geek, so I have a plan for this situation :) I would dress how I do now, jeans and shirts. What I thought about more than dress though was the hormones. I would hit every place that has them and take all the E and spiro I could fine and stock pile it for myself. To me that is the important factor in this question over simple dress :)
if i were the last person on earth, i'd run around naked 24/7 and burn down houses. jaykayy.
but rly. i consider myself genderless. if i feel like a man, i dress like one and vice versa. i guess that makes me trans? ehh. regardless. i woud dress and act exactly how i do now if i were the last person on earth. but i would be a lot more lonely :( xPP <3
If I found my self all alone in the world then all the last little objections to who I am would be gone. And I would have access to all the medical supplies that are only available to doctors and some hanging problems would quickly dissapear. Trying to do my own boob job would take a lot of study and of course be done with a local. And one thing that I long for is perment eyeliner. So yes I would only more so.
Maybe this is the wrong question. Part of being human is being human with other people. Might you have lost so much of yourself in being the "last person" that imagining what you would feel or do in that scenario is not a good indicator of who you are now...at a time when you aren't bereft of others?
personally i would still dress as a female since i find it pleasing to be me. i dont care what others thing and if i were the last person on the planet barring so reason i couldnt i would doll myself up each morning put on a bautiful dress or outfit and walk or drive wherever i needed to get what i needed and still be me. the bad part to this scenario is the lonliness factor not the cloths. sooner or later you would go insane and either die or do something really stupid.
Of course I would cross-dress, even if I were the last person on earth. I would also use makeup. Both are enjoyable. I like the way they make me look and feel. Of course, limited supplies would restrict me. If I had to make my clothes, it would be a long time before I had the time and talent to make anything that was remotely feminine. Before making even a simple skirt, I would make heavy pants. And forget the nylon undies. Male mode is just more practical. And terribly boring.
im not trans but i have dated someone that is ftm. From being with him it has taught me alot about it and i think that it wouldnt matter realy if you were the last peson on earth or not cus i mean its who you are inside that your trying to get out right? well i think nomatter what, you would want to be who you are on the inside, also on the outside even if it would be just for you to see.
(Part two) Another thing that would change is that without those social pressures to endure I believe the "taboo" of being transgendered and the gratification portion derived from not playing by society's preset rules would be lessened if not gone completely.
(Part one)We are all born without clothing and without prejudice. As we grow we learn what society deems acceptable for each of our genders as well as other social standings. If I were the only person left on this planet, I would still be me. My need to express my femininity would still exist. One thing that would change is that I would be aloud the freedom to go about things as I see fit without the fear of what others would think.
Anyone would become simply more human and survival would be more important. In the end you would still be you, but anyone would be profoundly different in that situation. Either gender would need to be more aggressive simply to survive. No fashion police. hahaha!!!
i agree completely with you survival is the biggest concern but i would still be me and i would still dress as a female and thank goodness the fashion police got wiped out with the rest of them hehe
I mean, when you just met someone new, and dating, you'd put on your nicest clothes, look as nice as possible etc..
But once you're going steady, getting used to each other, getting more comfortable with eachother, this slowely changes to: i'll dress up if we go out, but at home i'll wear my baggy pants and a t-shirt and dont care bout my makeup...
So, if i was to be the last person on earth ... Why would i bother to dress up and do my makeup and all that. ?
I think after the novelty of doing anything and everything you ever wanted to wore off, you'd probably spend all your time seeking out remnants of society in an effort to avoid loneliness. You'd create artificial company for yourself by watching videos & movies, listening to music, reading, and finding as many personal reminders of human beings as possible. As the years passed, you'd exhaust yourself, become depressed, then despair, & ultimately fall into some sort of insanity & commit suicide.
I think if I were the last person on earth, there would be only one gender. It wouldn't fit any particular norm, and I would call it whatever I wanted.
I know that though you weren't born into a body you belong, you are still a girl regardless..
I am a man. yes i happened to also be born this way but that doesn't matter.
If i was the last person on earth, i would not start wearing dresses.
So why would you all of a sudden ditch your own natural persona begin acting more masculine?
The thing i have always admired about you is how YOURSELF you are. With you, gender seems second to being true to yourself. That's what is most important.
I would still be as I am and act as I do - if anything I'd be more expressive feminine, since there wouldn't be people to see it as weakness/superficiality, and it wouldn't be dangerous in some contexts.
I would still want to be me, including clothing. Most of the time I would wear practical clothing but every now and then I would dress up. Off course, as an adult I remember how it was before I became the last one standing. That influences things.
A twist: what if the last one was a 2 month old baby that will be raised by apes or wolves? Will it find out about its gender identity problems and what will it do about it?
Feral children do not seem to care about gender identity. They are mostly concerned with food and protecting themselves, any possessions they have, and having a safe place where they can hide. Children raised by animals function exactly like animals unless they are taught not to, which is very, very rare.
if I am the last person on earth, clothes, identity, pronouns- all that goes away. I would have bigger fish to fry. However, I have often asked straight girls if they would still wear makeup if there were no more men in the world and the answers may surprise you.
with no body elsethere in the world the social context would be different with very different rules and my view of myslef would have a very different context. If id never met another human yet was me as i am I think I would still feel my transness but maybe be less able to place what this feeling was without the mirror of other people.I think it would still be present though
I tend to dress pretty tomboyish in general and prefer a style very similar to Shane from The L Word, so for me I would still dress as androgynous as I do now. If I liked dresses and such in the first place, I suppose this would be easier to answer.
thats agood point you made..i dont think my last comment went through..anyway i was saying having to play a role in society is such a bitch in itself...thats personally i know i have to play a role, but i neer seem to quite fit it completely and just end up coming out as the odd person..
I would have to say yes, if I were the last one I would still care. I would still want to see on the outside what I see inside. And I would have the best wardrobe, for free (assuming no Twilight Zone endings).
You would still want to be true to yourself,..and I would think my gender is part of that truth. It would matter emensely to me,..and at times alone I am still feeling that. Presenting as the gender you ant to be is not the point,..being the gender I feel inside is the matter of fact I would want to feel.
Just as "clothes make the man,..", I would say yes, I'd feel more comfortable dressing as I would if I were blending in. Although if I was the last person left, I might look around and find the most fun things to wear possible. And for that matter even go naked if I felt the urge. The passing thing has most of us whipped as it is,..we try so hard to "pass"some of us don't,.. yet it makes us feel better about ourselves to at least try. And then, varying stages of transition make it harder yet.
It would definitely still matter to me. For me, a large part of it is a gut physical yearning to have a proper body. To be able to look in a mirror nude and not cry. Even when people say I pass, it still hurts. This isn't about passing, or about pronouns from others when it comes to me. This is about my feelings about my own body.
If i were the last person on earth, I wouldn't go out of my way to present myself as female. If there was nobody around for billions of galaxies away from here, I would probably have more on my mind than my gender. I'm gonna make a vid response tho cuz thats a really good point.
well im sure i would not feel so insicure in how i look and i would not be that fussy in what i dress like though being the last tranny on earth i could where whatever i liked from any empty store.
so i would not be that bothered in what i where i would just be bothered about the infected who only come out at night!!!
YES YES YES it matters because I present "myself". Since I feel physically sick when occasionally having to present as male. This started when i was very young and my mother tried to dress me as her little "boy" and I just froze unable to move or walk. they would drag me out like that and put up with this crazy child suddenly struck dumb sitting in a corner.
i think if i had already transitioned and had been living male for a while, it would be awkward as hell to go back to wearing/presenting as female. however, if this end of the world business happened before i began my transition (medical/social) i don't think it would be such a big deal
When it comes to cloths and such I think that is individual question and there I am not as sure but hell if no one aound I might dress more strange and experiment in a way never before because I have no social rules to follow :P But I would still try to fix my body tough because for me all of this is a personal thing that I do for me so I can feel good about myself not others.
I'm a cis woman and I think that the difference is simply that men's clothes (with the exception of that stupid shirt+tie thing) are often more confortable and practical than what most women wear.
I don't think dressing up is "fake", it's simply that I like looking good when (some) men can see me. Not very rational, I guess, since they probably only care if I'm willing to have sex with them...
Did I mention sensible shoes?
And, BTW, even dressed as a man I don't think you would pass as one.
I'd have to make concesions to survival but i'd still be raiding pharmacys to get hormones. It's always been my body that i felt uncomfortable with not my clothes.
I'd definitely dress and cut my hair the same. To me, it's not a presentation, it's just who I am and what I like; and that wouldn't change regardless of who is or isn't around.
But I'd be less concerned about combing my hair or whether my breath stunk.
Yeah, I would. If anything I'd be more girly because no-one's going to say anything to me about it. I would dress up my robot slaves and we'd have runway shows. It would be totally fierce.
I have no doubt that I'd die of loneliness before I'd allow my outward presentation to no longer reflect the person I am on the inside. If placed in that scenario pre-SRS I'd have run straight to the closest store in order to alter my presentation from male to female -- and then would have taken my own life when I realized SRS would never be possible.
It was the dream of becoming the person I am now that kept me alive before. I would rather be dead then go back.
I would definitely still dress/act feminine if I was the last person on earth. I don't do this for others, I do this because it feels natural to me. I'm not putting on a show, I'm just being me.
But if I was the last person on earth I think I would kill myself, because where would I get my estrogen injections from????
I don't know. That question could be asked to a genetic female too. If a genetic female was the last person on Earth would SHE still dress, act, etc as a WOMAN? Would she still wear makeup, women's clothes, dresses?
I mean really why does ANYONE dress and present themselves the way they do?
I dunno, I think I probably would... I wear my binder when I'm alone in my room, I just feel more comfortable with it on, even though that's kind of strange to say I suppose.
well i used to make sure there was noone around when i first started presenting this way so of course i still would if noone was around bcuz its for me and my sanity 1st, others 2nd. the distinction is to what degree. of course heels and some other things are impractical when you're running from lions and bears but overall yes. also...in a survival situation, even with other ppl present, how important is ur appearance? not as important obviously. but you don't have to wear heels to be femme lol
I think everyone would dress comfortably, and usually comfortable clothing is pretty unisex. As far as make up and jewelry for MTFs, that doesn't make the girl so it wouldn't matter. All that matters is what's in your head.
Not to say that it matters, but people are social beings and they care about what others think. If there is no one around to judge you, you may not been as keen to put on those heels...
id actually wear things that were more revealing, daring, avant garde for that very reason. i wouldnt care about not having the perfect body to pull it off.
Well as an FTM, Yes. I wear pants and a tshirt now as I always have. Still would wear male underwear due to comfort. I might stop cutting my hair. The only reason I do at all is with medium length hair I start getting Ma'amed. (My cue for a hair-cut) I act as I am for me. No one else.
If I was the last person on Earth I probably wouldn't know or believe it. I'd be too focused on survival to care what I looked like. If I wore anything it would be women's clothes but it would be ragged and torn from searching the Earth for someone to mate with in hope of propagating. If I knew I was the last of us, I'd wear women's clothes and befriend all the animals, but I wouldn't mate with them even if it was the only way to propagate. I'm not trans-specied!
With billions of cars in existence, how could I be the last tranny on earth? Yah, ok... I hate the word. Sorry. To answer your question, "of course not." Without other humans around, any sort of self-expression is pointless, except perhaps to keep yourself from going insane. Think Tom Hanks in Castaway. At that point clothes are just practical necessities, makeup is pointless, long hair & nails are impractical, and heels are stupid. Basically presenting as female is counterproductive to survival
A great deal of what constitutes femininity (at least in our culture) is adornment. Whether we want to admit it or not, womens clothes are geared towards showing skin, drawing attention & accentuating the female figure, makeup accentuates facial features, jewelry, perfume, long hair, etc are all means to an end - attracting a mate. With no mates around, there's no need to be attractive (handbags, however, are practical!) Bottom line - without a social context, male and female mean very little.
the same thing is true though for "regular" guys and girls if there was nobody around to whom we can present our selves, gender identity doesn't really matter. it only matters when there is an opposite gender, or same if one is so inclined to impress with our sense of style. of course how we see our selves is influenced by society so with out societal influence, such issues are lost and more basic and functional clothing/hygiene would be all that matters.
"If I were the last person on earth would transitioning still matter to me", YES. The things I do and say and how I do them and say them are just who I am. I was born genetically a male and was really forced to conform to what my family and society said being a male should be. Now that I am living on my own and am an adult I can finally act like myself, a Female.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
.....Why do you need to present anything to anyone espicially because what your presenting now makes people think you are a- a homosexual, b - insane, c - a really ugly female.
Which leads to the question, if you don't like someones lifestyle, why do you waste YOUR time commenting on their life? Wouldn't your time be better spent focusing on yourself, and your own life? Maybe you have no life? Or, perhaps you're just too stupid to do anything beside spread your vitriol. Personally, I think anyone who posts comments like this actually likes that which they proclaim to hate. Why else would they waste their time here?
I might want to indulge myself and still wear things to present myself as a woman even though no one will see. There is a certain enjoyment in expressing one's gender through physical means but obviously it is more than that.
I have to think back to when I was a child, crossdressing in private. Nobody ever saw or caught me, but I still did it. I did it for me, not for anyone else. Of course we desire to be accepted as the gender we identify with, but ultimately we desire to present as female, for ourselves. Granted we all have our fem and butch days. So yes, I would have days where I would completely pamper myself, and dress up, and days where I'd wear shorts and a t-shirt, or naked for that matter, lol.
I would dress as a female... male at the moment.

each comment i read makes me want to respond. we have to acknowledge that these are words invented by humans: male/female. we defined them. if we had more words, a person might not feel so much like they're in the wrong body. ie if there was already a positive definition for how you were born, erin, would you then want to change your appearance and function of your body? this is a deep philosophical question. there is no right answer, and, as far as i can figure, no wrong answer.

i just read a comment 'i wear my binder when no one is around.' i'm saying here that the fact that feeling male means not having breasts is also a cultural/social feeling. in other words, if it was considered for what it is, just part of the normal spectrum to identify as male but having breasts, or identifying female but having a penis, if that was just accepted, would anyone feel the need to transition at all?
teaksmama 1 year ago
the issues of gender reassignment surgery are large. this is because of many things, from risks to costs. of course some resist this path for unfortunate moral or religious reasons. for me, as i stated awhile back in response to one of your earlier videos, i still believe it shouldn't be necessary, socially, to choose surgery to be accepted as a certain gender. that is not to say that no one should choose it, only that it shouldn't matter to anyone else ('cept maybe a prospective partner).
teaksmama 1 year ago
to a certain extent, the need to identify as one gender or another is socially motivated, as is the way in which we conform to fit the identity we wish to present. if we lived in a world where no one really cared about gender identity, where there was no status attached, for instance, there would be less need to be concerned with presentation. in a perfect world, if a kid says i'm gonna be a woman when i grow up, the world should celebrate that the kid knows that, and allow for it.

before i spend hours reading all these comments, which i will undoubtedly do, i want to say something. mostly because i will otherwise forget to say it (the teen calls this oldtimerz diseaze!)...
in some cultures, you're desire to present as female would be expressed differently. tit is masai men, for instance, who are the ones who go for adornment to attract a mate. social gender definition is what guides us to present a certain way to align/assign ourselves.

Hi! Grishno. Longtime no see. Last person on earth huh. Yes i would sitll wear dresses and makeup and bras to impress the most important person in my life, myself. To be myself and have no one to judge you or put you down, or ridicule you. What a concept. It`s mind blowing! True freedom! But then that is just me. I allways feel alone even when i am in a crowd. Allways be yourself and care for yourself, because no one else will.

Hell ya it would matter! I am me and that does not change if I was the last person on Earth. Pronouns matter becuase I think and feel about myself as "she" and still would if no one was around. As a matter of fact that is how I spent most of my life! In the depths of that kind of isolation. I would still dress fem if I were the last person on Earth but probably a little more utilitarianly since I would have to hunt n stuff. If you're gone I am still a woman. Period.

I'm polysexual I consider transgender people to be a seperate third gender, as they were one then they changed to another, but the original gender will always remain inside, so instead of saying they're both or one or the other it's much better to classify them as neither and as the third gender.
moltenriches 2 years ago
While I get what you're saying and can agree with it on some level, I have a feeling that a lot of transsexual would take issue with that. I didn't go through this whole transition to just be a third gender, I'm going through it to become a girl... that kind of thing.
grishno 2 years ago
Yeah I understand that, but the fact of the matter is you will never fully be a girl, the whole third gender thing takes into consideration your past aswell as your present, polysexuals also tend to be the people that wouldn't have a problem being with a transgendered person, whereas a straight guy wouldn't probably want to be with a woman who used to be a man and neither would a gay man want to be with a woman who used to be a man and possibly not even bisexuals, however polysexuals would.

It's all really a bunch of gross disfigurments and chemicals. Who's to say what is what? Humans enjoy the company of other Humans. Most of them.

gabriele12345678 2 years ago
Gender is all about conformity. If you were the only person, your behavior would be conforming to your sex no matter how you acted because you would be the only one defining the gender behavior for that sex. Women don't biologically want to wear dresses; they want to wear dresses because all of the other females around them are doing it, so their social drive to fit in pushes them towards that gender role. That's why I believe sexism is the fundamental reason for all homo/transphobia.

That's an interesting philosophical question. You should not read into your feeling on this. I'll explain why. It is because not only would gender identity be irrelevant, but as the last person on earth, gender itself would be irrelevant. You would then be the only human. Without other people the difference in interactions disappears.

Really when you think about it, being alone forever reduces your identity to "me" and nothing else. I would be an entity to myself, belonging to no one. I would have nothing to relate my identity to, and therefore I would own it entirely. No nationality, age group, species, or gender. None of it would exist, and my persona and presentation would be made of whatever I fancied myself at that moment.
The trick is to imagine yourself *happy* as the last person on earth. That makes it clearer to me.

Somehow this is a really easy question for me. I would wear "female" clothing everyday. I would dance down the empty street in dresses, skirts, and tight jeans. I would only wear make-up if I felt festive. I'd wear my hair long. I'd wear pretty jewelery. I'd walk into empty bars and make "girly" drinks. I wouldn't struggle to "look like" a woman. I'd just be me.
Sometimes I would go hiking and wear cowboy boots, jeans, and flannel, but only if I wanted to dress butch. I'd still be just me.^_^

I understand people who say it wouldn't matter as much to them but I can't honestly say I that it wouldn't matter to me. Probably makes me sound a bit vain but I'm sure most of you can also understand why someone would feel this way too. :s

Would *anything* really matter anymore if you were the last person left on Earth? That's the question I would have instead. I think I would still dress comfortably (or not at all, as mentioned earlier), which for me would be feminine, like I do at home whether alone or not. But we are social animals and need that to survive. If there was no one else alive, this question would soon become moot, I think. Who would want to live in that world for long? I'm glad we all have each other. :)

Maybe this is the wrong question. Part of being human is being human with other people.

silverblade2006 2 years ago
Of course I would cross-dress, even if I were the last person on earth. I would also use makeup. Both are enjoyable. I like the way they make me look and feel. Of course, limited supplies would restrict me. If I had to make my clothes, it would be a long time before I had the time and talent to make anything that was remotely feminine. Before making even a simple skirt, I would make heavy pants. And forget the nylon undies. Male mode is just more practical. And terribly boring.

I mean, when you just met someone new, and dating, you'd put on your nicest clothes, look as nice as possible etc..
But once you're going steady, getting used to each other, getting more comfortable with eachother, this slowely changes to: i'll dress up if we go out, but at home i'll wear my baggy pants and a t-shirt and dont care bout my makeup...
So, if i was to be the last person on earth ... Why would i bother to dress up and do my makeup and all that. ?

I think after the novelty of doing anything and everything you ever wanted to wore off, you'd probably spend all your time seeking out remnants of society in an effort to avoid loneliness. You'd create artificial company for yourself by watching videos & movies, listening to music, reading, and finding as many personal reminders of human beings as possible. As the years passed, you'd exhaust yourself, become depressed, then despair, & ultimately fall into some sort of insanity & commit suicide.

So why would you all of a sudden ditch your own natural persona begin acting more masculine?
The thing i have always admired about you is how YOURSELF you are. With you, gender seems second to being true to yourself. That's what is most important.

Yes, I think the question is why does ANYONE dress or portray themselves as they do, is it for THEMSELVES or for the world around them.

I would still be as I am and act as I do - if anything I'd be more expressive feminine, since there wouldn't be people to see it as weakness/superficiality, and it wouldn't be dangerous in some contexts.

I feel that you dress the way u feel male or female. I think more men would wear dresses lol =)

I would still want to be me, including clothing. Most of the time I would wear practical clothing but every now and then I would dress up. Off course, as an adult I remember how it was before I became the last one standing. That influences things.
A twist: what if the last one was a 2 month old baby that will be raised by apes or wolves? Will it find out about its gender identity problems and what will it do about it?
NaomiClareNL 2 years ago
Feral children do not seem to care about gender identity. They are mostly concerned with food and protecting themselves, any possessions they have, and having a safe place where they can hide. Children raised by animals function exactly like animals unless they are taught not to, which is very, very rare.

if I am the last person on earth, clothes, identity, pronouns- all that goes away. I would have bigger fish to fry. However, I have often asked straight girls if they would still wear makeup if there were no more men in the world and the answers may surprise you.

IF I was the last person on earth I wouldnt wear anything I guess lol there would be no one to look at me anyway unless it was cold.

with no body elsethere in the world the social context would be different with very different rules and my view of myslef would have a very different context. If id never met another human yet was me as i am I think I would still feel my transness but maybe be less able to place what this feeling was without the mirror of other people.I think it would still be present though

I tend to dress pretty tomboyish in general and prefer a style very similar to Shane from The L Word, so for me I would still dress as androgynous as I do now. If I liked dresses and such in the first place, I suppose this would be easier to answer.

thats agood point you made..i dont think my last comment went through..anyway i was saying having to play a role in society is such a bitch in itself...thats personally i know i have to play a role, but i neer seem to quite fit it completely and just end up coming out as the odd person..
informationseeker26 2 years ago
I would have to say yes, if I were the last one I would still care. I would still want to see on the outside what I see inside. And I would have the best wardrobe, for free (assuming no Twilight Zone endings).
dreamingofwings 2 years ago
You would still want to be true to yourself,..and I would think my gender is part of that truth. It would matter emensely to me,..and at times alone I am still feeling that. Presenting as the gender you ant to be is not the point,..being the gender I feel inside is the matter of fact I would want to feel.
priscillahowdy 2 years ago
I'd definitely always be true to myself... but would it dictate what clothing I would wear?
grishno 2 years ago
Just as "clothes make the man,..", I would say yes, I'd feel more comfortable dressing as I would if I were blending in. Although if I was the last person left, I might look around and find the most fun things to wear possible. And for that matter even go naked if I felt the urge. The passing thing has most of us whipped as it is,..we try so hard to "pass"some of us don't,.. yet it makes us feel better about ourselves to at least try. And then, varying stages of transition make it harder yet.
priscillahowdy 2 years ago
It would definitely still matter to me. For me, a large part of it is a gut physical yearning to have a proper body. To be able to look in a mirror nude and not cry. Even when people say I pass, it still hurts. This isn't about passing, or about pronouns from others when it comes to me. This is about my feelings about my own body.
KatieKalamity 2 years ago 2
If i were the last person on earth, I wouldn't go out of my way to present myself as female. If there was nobody around for billions of galaxies away from here, I would probably have more on my mind than my gender. I'm gonna make a vid response tho cuz thats a really good point.

hi erin
well im sure i would not feel so insicure in how i look and i would not be that fussy in what i dress like though being the last tranny on earth i could where whatever i liked from any empty store.
so i would not be that bothered in what i where i would just be bothered about the infected who only come out at night!!!
comming 2010.....I AM TRANNY.

I'd still present as male full time, because seeing myslf as female makes me feel sick.
mytrucolours91 2 years ago
YES YES YES it matters because I present "myself". Since I feel physically sick when occasionally having to present as male. This started when i was very young and my mother tried to dress me as her little "boy" and I just froze unable to move or walk. they would drag me out like that and put up with this crazy child suddenly struck dumb sitting in a corner.

jesselovespictures13 2 years ago
i think if i had already transitioned and had been living male for a while, it would be awkward as hell to go back to wearing/presenting as female. however, if this end of the world business happened before i began my transition (medical/social) i don't think it would be such a big deal

Kinga1Kosinska 2 years ago
When it comes to cloths and such I think that is individual question and there I am not as sure but hell if no one aound I might dress more strange and experiment in a way never before because I have no social rules to follow :P But I would still try to fix my body tough because for me all of this is a personal thing that I do for me so I can feel good about myself not others.
Anyway all love from me Jasmine

I'm a cis woman and I think that the difference is simply that men's clothes (with the exception of that stupid shirt+tie thing) are often more confortable and practical than what most women wear.
I don't think dressing up is "fake", it's simply that I like looking good when (some) men can see me. Not very rational, I guess, since they probably only care if I'm willing to have sex with them...
Did I mention sensible shoes?
And, BTW, even dressed as a man I don't think you would pass as one.

I'd definitely dress and cut my hair the same. To me, it's not a presentation, it's just who I am and what I like; and that wouldn't change regardless of who is or isn't around.
But I'd be less concerned about combing my hair or whether my breath stunk.

YES.
I have no doubt that I'd die of loneliness before I'd allow my outward presentation to no longer reflect the person I am on the inside. If placed in that scenario pre-SRS I'd have run straight to the closest store in order to alter my presentation from male to female -- and then would have taken my own life when I realized SRS would never be possible.
It was the dream of becoming the person I am now that kept me alive before. I would rather be dead then go back.
Sorry for my bluntness.
meldenphire 2 years ago
I would definitely still dress/act feminine if I was the last person on earth. I don't do this for others, I do this because it feels natural to me. I'm not putting on a show, I'm just being me.
But if I was the last person on earth I think I would kill myself, because where would I get my estrogen injections from????
arin4fun 2 years ago
I don't know. That question could be asked to a genetic female too. If a genetic female was the last person on Earth would SHE still dress, act, etc as a WOMAN? Would she still wear makeup, women's clothes, dresses?
I mean really why does ANYONE dress and present themselves the way they do?
pgy002 2 years ago
I dunno, I think I probably would... I wear my binder when I'm alone in my room, I just feel more comfortable with it on, even though that's kind of strange to say I suppose.
TheMrSamAaron 2 years ago
well i used to make sure there was noone around when i first started presenting this way so of course i still would if noone was around bcuz its for me and my sanity 1st, others 2nd. the distinction is to what degree. of course heels and some other things are impractical when you're running from lions and bears but overall yes. also...in a survival situation, even with other ppl present, how important is ur appearance? not as important obviously. but you don't have to wear heels to be femme lol
mia8293 2 years ago
I think everyone would dress comfortably, and usually comfortable clothing is pretty unisex. As far as make up and jewelry for MTFs, that doesn't make the girl so it wouldn't matter. All that matters is what's in your head.
WhoaKaela 2 years ago
agreed, to a point. if that's really true though then why transition?
mia8293 2 years ago
Not to say that it matters, but people are social beings and they care about what others think. If there is no one around to judge you, you may not been as keen to put on those heels...
WhoaKaela 2 years ago
id actually wear things that were more revealing, daring, avant garde for that very reason. i wouldnt care about not having the perfect body to pull it off.
mia8293 2 years ago
That's why I said "may". Everyone would be different. But I'd bet most people would opt for a "natural" look.
WhoaKaela 2 years ago
Well as an FTM, Yes. I wear pants and a tshirt now as I always have. Still would wear male underwear due to comfort. I might stop cutting my hair. The only reason I do at all is with medium length hair I start getting Ma'amed. (My cue for a hair-cut) I act as I am for me. No one else.
satanhatesyu 2 years ago
If I was the last person on Earth I probably wouldn't know or believe it. I'd be too focused on survival to care what I looked like. If I wore anything it would be women's clothes but it would be ragged and torn from searching the Earth for someone to mate with in hope of propagating. If I knew I was the last of us, I'd wear women's clothes and befriend all the animals, but I wouldn't mate with them even if it was the only way to propagate. I'm not trans-specied!

With billions of cars in existence, how could I be the last tranny on earth? Yah, ok... I hate the word. Sorry. To answer your question, "of course not." Without other humans around, any sort of self-expression is pointless, except perhaps to keep yourself from going insane. Think Tom Hanks in Castaway. At that point clothes are just practical necessities, makeup is pointless, long hair & nails are impractical, and heels are stupid. Basically presenting as female is counterproductive to survival
Erica2Lives 2 years ago
A great deal of what constitutes femininity (at least in our culture) is adornment. Whether we want to admit it or not, womens clothes are geared towards showing skin, drawing attention & accentuating the female figure, makeup accentuates facial features, jewelry, perfume, long hair, etc are all means to an end - attracting a mate. With no mates around, there's no need to be attractive (handbags, however, are practical!) Bottom line - without a social context, male and female mean very little.
Erica2Lives 2 years ago
the same thing is true though for "regular" guys and girls if there was nobody around to whom we can present our selves, gender identity doesn't really matter. it only matters when there is an opposite gender, or same if one is so inclined to impress with our sense of style. of course how we see our selves is influenced by society so with out societal influence, such issues are lost and more basic and functional clothing/hygiene would be all that matters.
shizenyasuya 2 years ago
"If I were the last person on earth would transitioning still matter to me", YES. The things I do and say and how I do them and say them are just who I am. I was born genetically a male and was really forced to conform to what my family and society said being a male should be. Now that I am living on my own and am an adult I can finally act like myself, a Female.

Which leads to the question, if you don't like someones lifestyle, why do you waste YOUR time commenting on their life? Wouldn't your time be better spent focusing on yourself, and your own life? Maybe you have no life? Or, perhaps you're just too stupid to do anything beside spread your vitriol. Personally, I think anyone who posts comments like this actually likes that which they proclaim to hate. Why else would they waste their time here?
Erica2Lives 2 years ago
I might want to indulge myself and still wear things to present myself as a woman even though no one will see. There is a certain enjoyment in expressing one's gender through physical means but obviously it is more than that.

I have to think back to when I was a child, crossdressing in private. Nobody ever saw or caught me, but I still did it. I did it for me, not for anyone else. Of course we desire to be accepted as the gender we identify with, but ultimately we desire to present as female, for ourselves. Granted we all have our fem and butch days. So yes, I would have days where I would completely pamper myself, and dress up, and days where I'd wear shorts and a t-shirt, or naked for that matter, lol.
