Ms Kate lives on a farm in Georgia, the “land of the peaches,” and loves to fantasize about being the Mistress of a southern mansion, holding daily tea parties.. She loves fashion and “… over the top hair. I guess that is just the southern girl in me!” She wears MAC makeup exclusively and loves to take long bubble baths and tan in the nude. Ms Kate calls herself a “shoe fanatic” and says she often buys shoes first and then searches for an outfit to match! Ms Kate has her very own sissy, Faye, who lives on her farm full time. Ms. Kate’s love of sissies goes back to her childhood: “I have always worked with sissies in one way or another .. I dressed my first little boy when I was 4. There were no other little girls in the neighborhood .. so I just made one!” Now that’s a Mistress who is truly experienced in forced feminization! The Cogiati Transsexual Transgendered, Crossdresser, Androgyne Gender Test HOW TO USE THE COGIATI: Answer all the questions as absolutely honestly and accurately as you can. The more honest your choices, the more accurate your result. Some questions may be redundant, some are used as validation tools, and others may seem odd or too obvious. All questions exist for specific reasons. _______________________________________________________________ THE COGIATI _________________________________________________________________ Q. Describe your relationship with mathematics. A. (-10) Mathematics is both useful and fun. I enjoy mathematical puzzles. Q. You get a phone call from somebody you met for the first time a few days ago. How easy is it for you to remember who they are by the sound of their voice? A. (-10) Pretty difficult, I don’t know them. I wish they would tell me their name. Q. You are shown a number of close-up photographs of the faces of many different people you do not know. You are asked to describe the emotions that the people are feeling by the expressions on their faces alone. How well would you do, do you think? A. (-10) Probably not that well. It is hard to read faces, you never really know for sure. Q. You are at a meeting. Everyone at the meeting is the same sex as you. The leader of the meeting announces that it’s time for hugs all around! How do you feel about this? A. (-10) What is up with all of this hugging stuff? This is unnecessary. Q. As a child, when you played with close friends, how would you describe the type of play you liked to be a part of the most? A. (-10) I liked to get out and do things. Run, jump, and yell. Let off some steam. Q. You meet somebody and they are polite to you, but seem a little distant. They are actually very attracted to you. How likely are you to know this? A. (-10) Not very, it is hard to tell with people. Q. You are talking to a very newly met person. During your talk, the person brings up an event from their own youth. The discussion catches them off guard, and they start to cry. How do you react to this? A. (-10) It makes me feel uncomfortable. I will wait for them to get themselves together. It also depends on the person. Q. You are alone enjoying some erotic materials of your own preference. What are they? A. (-10) Films. Films first, maybe pictures too. Q. Which choice most closely describes why you dress up ‘en femme’, as a woman. A. (-10) It is a very sexy thing to do. It is very exciting. I love it! Q. In your early school days, how were you at writing essays, poetry, and reports? A. (-10) It was rather hard at times. I really did not like it that much. Q. You are parking your car. You must reverse into a somewhat narrow space to park. What do you do? A. (-10) I slide right in. Piece of cake! Q. You acquire an incredible power. You can change your sex whenever you wish, and the change is absolutely perfect in either form, male or female. What would you most likely do with such a power? A. (-10) I would use it to switch back and forth for fun! Q. You have been visiting a new town for several days. Someone asks you which direction south is. Do you know? A. (-10) Almost always. After a few days, I know my directions. Q. You are in a public place, such as a waiting room or a park bench. Circumstances require you to sit VERY closely to another person of the same sex. How do you feel about this inside? A. (-10) I don’t really like to sit close like that. Q. A situation involving people has come up. The people are debating the issue, and are unsure of what to do. You understand most of the situation. You are able to act in the manner you feel like. What do you do? A. (-10) I step in and clear things up. Q. Visualize the following entirely in your head. Do not draw or write anything, just use your mind. Picture a pair of cubes. The two cubes are connected by a bar through their middle, like a dumbbell. Imagine that the dumbbell object is floating in front of you, one cube close to you, the other directly away from you. Now, imagine that the cube nearest you is red, and the cube furthest from you is blue. Picture the dumbbell built of two cube and a rod begins to rotate, the near, red cube, dropping down and away, and the blue, far cube, rotating up and nearer. The dumbbell continues so that it now stands vertical, in front of you, the red cube on the bottom, the blue cube on the top. Continue this direction of rotation, end over end, three times exactly, starting with that state where the red cube was on the bottom, and the blue cube was on the top. What is the position of either cube, red or blue? A. (-10) I am certain that the red cube is on top. Q. You are talking with a friend. Outside, far away, somebody is honking their horn regularly and endlessly. It is not very loud, you can just barely hear it in the quiet room. What is your reaction? A. (-10) So what? I am busy talking with my friend.. I might not even notice it. Q. Yesterday, you met five new people. Today, you are asked by name about the people you met. How well can you picture their faces in your mind? A. (-10) Not a chance. I just would not remember their faces. One, maybe. Q. In your early school days, how were you at spelling? A. (-10) To be honest, spelling is a problem for me. Even now I have difficulty. Q. Can you remember tunes or songs easily? Can you hum, sing or whistle them with ease? A. (-10) I have a very hard time remembering music. It just doesn’t stick. Q. You hear a noise from somewhere. Without looking, how well can you identify the direction of the sound from you? A. (-10) I always know the direction. It’s not that hard to do for me. Q. You are telling a friend about something that happened to you years ago. How well do you remember what clothing you were wearing? A. (-10) I would not remember that at all. Why would I? What difference does it make? Q. You are about the age of 14.

What probably happens? A. (-10) I have no real difficulty. Q. Your penis and testicles are destroyed, perhaps do to an accident or injury, but they are gone forever. You are otherwise the same as now, but you are utterly without your reproductive organs, just smooth, flat flesh. What is the most realistic statement of how you would deal with this? A. (-10) I would consider suicide. That would be absolutely horrible. Q. You are 10 years old. It is play time. Which activity do you choose? A. (-10) I go outside and play ball with my friends. Q. You are introduced to someone new. They have a tiny white thread coming out of their gray coat. What is the chance of your noticing this? A. (-10) I would not notice that. It would not matter. Q. How much actual discomfort or suffering has any conflict between your physical sex and internal gender caused you? A. (-10) Not very much. That is not a big issue to me. Q.

It is moderately noisy, but not loud. A song you know comes over the loudspeakers, but done in Muzak ™ style, often called “elevator music”. Would you recognize the song instantly? A. (-10) In that style, I probably would not even recognize any song. Q. Suddenly the entire world is magically changed. Now you exist in a world utterly devoid of gender. All bodies are hermaphroditic, utterly androgynous in appearance, both male and female at the same time. The culture reflects this, as does all human interaction. You, however, are still yourself inside, with all of your memories of living in our world as it is now. Your feelings are intact, only your flesh has been changed. In this new world, everyone dresses, acts, and lives however they feel at the time, and there is no such thing as being male or being female. You alone remember the world of gender. In such a world, would you still need to dress like a woman? A. (-10) Without question. I really love being feminine. It would be a very disturbing world, too. Q. You are working with a group of people on an important project. What is the most important concern to you with regard to the interpersonal structure of the group? A. (-10) It is most important that everyone share the same degree of dedication. Q. Somewhere, a bell rings softly. You have to point to the exact location instantly. How well can you do this? A. (-10) I would know right where the bell was. Q. A doctor offers you a painless, absolutely effective means to be completely masculine. All feminine desires and traits would be eliminated, and you would be happy and content to be a man. You would never need to dress, and you would never want to be feminine in any way again.

(-10) Assertive. Q. How easily do you cry at movies? A. (-10) I really have never cried because of a film. Q. Deep down, what gender do you really see yourself as? A. (-10) I am probably mostly male.

(-10) About age 15. Q. Have you ever suffered a migraine ‘headache’? A. (-10) Never. Q. How long have you felt that you have had a gender incongruous with the sex of your body? A. (-10) I do not feel that way, at least not strongly. Q. What is the honest degree that sexual excitement and attraction play in the importance and value of crossdressing to you? A. (-10) It really is very important to me. Q. How important is it to you that others would accept you completely as a woman? A.

Have you ever been caught, discovered, punished, or found out about with regard to your gender issues, crossdressing, or gender related behavior? A. (-10) No, I am very discrete. Q. When you look at a person’s face, how well can you honestly judge what they are feeling? A. (-10) It is hard to tell just by looking. Q. You are having an erection. How do you feel? A. (-10) I am aroused. That is what it means to have an erection. Q. You are trying to describe the complex shape of an unfamiliar object to someone. You are not using your hands, and must rely on words alone. How easy is it for you to convey the shape accurately? A. (-10) I can picture the shape, but finding the right words can be tough sometimes. Q. It is grade school. The teacher gives you a gold star on your work for excellence. What is it for? A. (-10) I got my addition right. Q. You are told that something you said probably bothered somebody. What is your reaction? A. (-10) I think it is their problem. Q. Have you grown your hair long, do you wear a feminine hairstyle, or have you otherwise altered your day-to-day physical appearance to increase the effectiveness of dressing as or expressing your femininity? A. (-10) No, that would be a bit too much right now. Q. There is a voice mail on your machine. The person does not leave a name, they seem to expect you to know them. How easy is it for you to remember who called by the sound of their voice? A. (-10) Pretty difficult, it’s just a disembodied voice. I wish they had left their name. Q. A stranger is happy at meeting you. He wants to give you a hug. How do you honestly feel about this? A. (-10) That would be a little weird for me. Q. You meet somebody and they are polite to you, but seem a little distant. They are actually secretly disliking you. How likely are you to know this? A. (-10) Not very, it is hard to tell with people. Q. You are talking to a person you have recently met. During your talk, the person brings up an event from their past. The discussion turns serious, and they start to get strongly emotional. How do you react to this? A. (-10) It makes me feel uncomfortable. Q. You are masturbating, alone. What turns you on the most? A. (-10) Visual things, mostly. Images of people together or alone. Q. You will never, ever be a woman. You must live the rest of your days entirely as a man, and you will only get more masculine with each passing year. There is no way out. What is your reaction? A. (-10) I could cope. Not much different than now. Q. You are shown a film of close-up images of the faces of many different people. You are asked to describe the emotions that the people are feeling by the expressions on their faces alone. How well would you be able to tell the emotions of the people? A. (-10) Probably not that well. Q. You are spending time with a group of married friends. Two of them are secretly having an affair. Would you detect this easily? A. (-10) If they are keeping it secret, how am I supposed to know? Q. Are you now on – or just about to start – hormone therapy? A. (-10) No. I am not sure that I want to use hormones. Q. Have you ever spent longer than one week living entirely as a woman? A. (-10) No. I am not sure how I would feel about doing that. Q. Which choice most closely describes how you feel about living as a man in the world? A. (-10) There are some definite advantages, I have to admit. Q. You are about to die. In your last moments, you are presented with a choice. You can be buried and remembered as a man, or buried and remembered as a woman. Which do you choose? A. (-10) I want to be remembered accurately. It really doesn’t matter at that point anyway. Q. Which is the closest to your own current self definition? A. (-10) I am a crossdresser. _________________________________________________________________ Scoring the COGIATI:
