Hi everyone,
I have been thinking about where crossdresser identity comes from. I have a theory that the identity of crossdressers (that is, how crossdressers understand themselves as a group in relation to our larger society) is reflective of the way in which our culture attempts to understand and rationalize "variations from the norm."
I guess I am curious as to where any of you learned about what it means to be a crossdresser, if anything.
For instance, if you have always done it, when/if you realized you were different from "the norm," how/where did you seek information on what being you thought crossdressing "means." Did you seek-out any information at all?
For SO's or GG's dating/married to a crossdresser (if you care to share): When your SO told you about the crossdressing, what was your initial reaction? Did you assume anything about crossdressers, or have any preconceived notions about it?
I'd like to hear all your thoughts on this topic
