A recent post simply stated that the 'crossdressing' label is inadequate. I agree partially, but it does accurately describe a behavior. We are, for all intents and purposes, anatomical/genetic males who for whatever reason feel a deep need to wear and present as women either partially or fully and/or part time or full time.
Virgina Prince was a full time crossdresser, but I think a more accurate description of her would be a non transitioning transgender woman. No?
My point is that labels fail to define us, and they only partially describe us. And what about some of us who label ourselves crossdressers only to find we are really transsexuals???
And what about transsexuals who don't desire SRS? And what about....? and? and? and so on and on....get it....
I think it is helpful for all of us to simply define ourselves in a manner that makes us most happy. If that means we tell others we are transgendered, trans, crossdresser, TV, CD, TS, etc., so be it. I will even throw in drag queen because some of us exhibit some drag queen like behavior while dressed.
But in the end, we are all humans....aren't we?
