There is misunderstanding, rejection, ridicule and derision of cross dressers within the LGBT world. It is not exclusive to the "straight" world. If it was about some type of fear or rejection of homosexuality, you would think cross dressers would be fully accepted within the LGBT community without question, but my observations are contrary to it. Some of the snarkiest and meanest comments about cross dressers I have heard or read were from gay men. Some portions of society think cross dressers are perverts, deviants, mentally ill or sinners. I know a few people who are very open and accepting of LGB, but not T. IMHO, while some may view cross dressers as gay and reject them accordingly, it is significantly more complex and varied than just homophobia.
