Speechless Discovery

[Shelly Preston]

Hi everyone

Some time ago I was watching a daytime tv program which was discussing crossdressing. This happens from time to time so I did not pay too much attention, other that wondering what kind of approach will be taken.

As I began to take more intrest the guests came out

:OMG: One of the guests was a mtf crossdresser who I went to school with :eek:

I was left totally speechless at this discovery and could not make any sense
I was stunned into silence

Has any one else made a similar discovery about someone in an unusual way

Must have been something in the water.....:heehee:

....but seriousy, what are the odds? So, the question now is are you gonna call him and bring him up to speed?

....but seriousy, what are the odds?

I've seen TS listed at everything from 1 in every 100,000 to 1 in every 100 and CD's from 1 in 150 to 1 in 10!

Even at 1 in 150 that would mean there would have been about 3 MtF CDs at my High School including me. At 1 in 10 there would have been a huge number of us! I wonder who they were?

Intresting stats.

I meant what are the odds of turning on the television and seeing someone you know who also shares our passion. But yeah, I'm sure that out of all the people I know I doubt I'm the only one. So lets see, is it one of the carpenters, electricians, plumbers or any of the other trades I work with? :eek:

As much as this sounds possible I would doubt it

Statistically yes I would say there are more CD's from my school but not every CD has the courage to go on National TV

Thats why I was Stunned

I just hope I get to meet her some time :)

Not much hard data on this, but surveys in both the UK and the USA suggest that about a quarter of men have dressed at some time (carnival, Hallowe'en, etc) but that only about 6% persist for any length of time (i.e. what we would call cross-dressers). One man in 17; three on every bus.

I think you also have to remember those who choose not to admit to anything on these sort of surveys too.
