What is a Shemale?

November 19, 2008

A shemale or she-male is a term that is widely used in the porn industry, while some find the term derogatory, others feel comfortable admitting that they are indeed shemales. We take a look at what the term means.

A shemale is not a male who cross-dresses. Nor is it a butch lesbian, a confused transgender or a gay trying to poke fun at his sexuality. If you google the term shemale youll even find bizarre stories that says Michael Jackson is the most famous shemale â “ this is not true.

One thing that we do know is that terms like ladyboy, tranny, transwomen, male-to-female transgender or transsexual are also used to describe shemales. Occasionally a shemale will also be called a chick-with-a-dick, but this is rather offensive and we advice you not to use this term.

Defining the term Shemale.

There is a lot of confusion in the adult industry and on adult forums to what exactly the term means. So what or who exactly is a shemale?

A shemale is a person who appears to be female by having breasts, dressing up like a female and who has female characteristics but their genitals are still male. Shemales are basically transsexuals who havent had surgery to change their sex from male to female. So they are woman, born in a mans body who is in the process of becoming a physical woman.

Shemales have female breasts because either they are taking female hormone pills or otherwise they went for breast augmentation. You do also get men that have a hormonal imbalance in their bodies and are born with female breasts.
