Crossdresser vs Transgender
I have assumed the one was synonymous with the other, but maybe in my ignorance I am wrong. Two days ago I let one of my very old and dear friends in on my secret. We had lost touch for many years and I have always regretted not keeping better contact with him. We both come from a very similar background as we both grew up in the same church, schools and our families were always pretty close. He is homosexual, and was in the closet for a very long time, so I'm sure he understands better than most. One thing he has said puzzles me though. It seems he does not include a closet crossdresser into the umbrella of transgender. Not sure why, but will be asking the question to him when I find the opportunity. My questions to the group are: At what point do you consider an individual a transgender person? Do you consider your self transgender now? I am interested in all points of view on this.
