I really admire some of the girls here for their persistence in perfecting their feminine look, and making a huge effort to get out into the world and liberate themselves from the confines of their homes. Hats off to the one's who have broken through all the barriers, and have the ability to freely walk the earth as a female!
Having said that sincere statement, a strange thought occurred to me.
If you "pass" as a female, then you no longer represent the CD community to the world at large, because you have effectively become invisible as a CD. From a personal perspective, this is a great achievement. However, from an advocacy perspective you have disappeared off the radar, unless of course you openly declare that you are in fact male.
In other words, in order for CD's to be seen as CD's for advocacy purposes, we would need to be seen (or at least heard) as CD's, which kind of runs contrary to what a lot of us are trying to individually achieve: invisibility.
Weird huh?
