It's no surprise over half are CD, after all the name of this forum is Crossdressers. But what surprised me was how many are TG. I was told by a gender specialist this is the most difficult of all to be because you're literally living life on the fence, unable to settle on one side or the other.

Now if there are any staticians out there who care to take a stab, how does this work into the general population as a statistic?

I guess it depends on who you talk to. The "Gender Specialist" I conversed with said, "Being Transgendered, or as it is sometimes called, Dual Gendered, gave the broadest spectrum of life." She went on to say, "A true Transgender, or Dual Gendered person is able to express both genders effectively in a normal day to day scenario."
I can only speak from personal experience, but that's how it works for me.
Just another thought.
