youdontknowme Those are not the common definition of transgender or transsexual.

Oops, I think I've mixed the two up. According to Wikipedia: "Some transgender people who desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another identify as transsexual."
My bad for not first checking what I thought I knew.
And yes, there is a lot of differentiation and borderlines, so my definitions were simplified to make it easier to talk about types of belt.
18-11: corrected my mixup in my previous images to make them more understandable.

youdontknowme

thank you for the explanations ๐Ÿ™‚

carg since their body is made to match their identity, so a transgender girl should be able use a female belt.

but not every transgender person has already had surgery.

Rina

so in a nutshell, can we say that transgender belts are built for the biological gender but are visually designed according to the identitary gender (sorry i don't know how to put it better)?

    I agree I've sometimes troubles to know it too...

    Daphne Regarding thigh bands, I'm wearing them 24/7 with a 4cm chain

    Very short chain;is it enough to manage your daily activities?

    Rina Chastity belt manufacturers like Fancy Steel or Access Denied markets it as "shemale" / "sissy" belt, which I don't like wording of their marketing, though.

    Probably they name it this way as chastity belts are mainly marketed for fetishists.

      Wellโ€ฆ that might be one that may explain it in easy way, since its visual design would align with MTF trans wearerโ€™s gender identity!

      Vanessa mainly marketed for fetishists

      Yes and that makes it hard for me to be open about my interest in chastity belt, although my purpose would be far from fetish use for me

        Rina i totally understand, i really want one of those belts myself as rn i just use a cage haha

          I manage with it yes

            There is some correlation among interest in chastity devices and dysphoria from presenting as male, but while the people interested in chastity belts have an above-average population of male-to-female transgender people, they also have an even more above-average ratio of male-to-female crossdressers, and the latter make up a much larger market segment than the former.

              Daphne as rn i just use a cage

              Oh, I had not expected that: how does that work with thighbands, if there is no belt to attach them to?

                Rina Wellโ€ฆ that might be one that may explain it in easy way, since its visual design would align with MTF trans wearerโ€™s gender identity!

                ah ok, i think i understand ๐Ÿ™‚

                Rina Yes and that makes it hard for me to be open about my interest in chastity belt, although my purpose would be far from fetish use for me

                you should be open with it, you are open about your gender identity so the same should apply to the belt. being chaste has no specific gender ๐Ÿ™‚

                carg how does that work with thighbands, if there is no belt to attach them to?

                good question, i don't understand it either

                Daphne

                Ah, OK. I concluded from your previous post that they were not attached at all, and you relied purely on the tightness of the bands and stickiness of the silicone to keep them in place, and I couldn't imagine that was very escape-proof. But connected to a corset seems like a good solution too (as long as you can't remove the corset either of course ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
                Does this also mean that you wear the bands relatively high up your thighs? That would make the 4cm chain more doable.

                  carg

                  I lock the corset too yes, and i got longer chains from my corset to the thigh bands to compensate so no the 4cm is still tough

                  • carg replied to this.

                    Daphne That is quite the setup. I'm glad you are doing it voluntarily, because being forced to wear your equipment would be even harder.
                    You're lucky to have found a keyholder who supports it all, but also, as far as I can tell, doesn't pressure you to do more.

                    P.S. I'm sorry if me bringing up the situation with your gender was not really something you wanted to talk about. I wanted to understand your situation better, but perhaps you just want to be seen as a girl, and not constantly explain about your birth gender.

                      carg .S. I'm sorry if me bringing up the situation with your gender was not really something you wanted to talk about. I wanted to understand your situation better, but perhaps you just want to be seen as a girl,

                      I indeed prefer to be seen as a girl, hence why i want to be belted for life

                        Daphne

                        ah ok, that is also an interesting combination ๐Ÿ˜‰

                        Daphne hence why i want to be belted for life

                        you can also be seen as a girl without being belted ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          Rina Yes and that makes it hard for me to be open about my interest in chastity belt

                          Our forum is good for it!๐Ÿ˜‰

                          I understand it can be harder to discuss it truly on more fetishists forum...

                          Daphne

                          Congratulation,it seems not easy.

                          youdontknowme

                          I think the main customers are wearers who use it only as a game,or in DS relationship.

                          Angelina you can also be seen as a girl without being belted ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          I agree.

                          Angelina you can also be seen as a girl without being belted ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          I know but being belted is very important to me, being a chaste lady is a big goal of mine. One I'm unsure how to properly achieve

                            Daphne

                            no matter if you reach the goal, you will remain a woman for me and if you reach the goal, then a chaste woman. ๐Ÿ˜‰
