But I do disagree that any man who puts on a pair of panties, or a woman who likes to wear boxers, is transgender. It's like saying that because you eat a salad once in a while, you're a vegan. Or that, because you went to Bermuda and got a deep, deep tan, that you are now a Person-of-Colour. Or that just because you bought a motorcycle jacket, you're a biker.
IMHO, if crossdressers, panty wearers, and fetishists want to be included in the LGBT+ community, they are more than welcome. But I don't consider them to be transgender. Not a put down, or slur, just my opinion. YMMV.
