hi april,
i think when you here us say society is more accepting with this we as the elder CDs would never have posted on a platform like this ever at 19yrs old....and as it has been said the young seem to use the visual forms of media to share with one another, flicker ect...some folks have two facebooks, one for each, and what i see in general when greeting folks here the young ones are so connected with theyre devices that when the cd.com e-mails are sent and shared with those devices they accidentally out themselves before they are prepared to too friends and family....
i think that 5 or 10 yrs from now as you establish a family and career you will more understand our comments of acceptance, what 19 yr old does not have some angst for what is ahead in life.....
hope that made sense....

One important thing to include is that the majority of us are coming from a distinct disadvantage. Females have decades of head start in the mechanics of living. They have had mothers, aunts, grandmothers and older sisters to learn from and to emulate. This information is absorbed over an extended period of time. This means that there is a lot of time for trial and error. M2F crossdressers don't have that luxury and that makes our learning curve very steep. Being able to share and trade information here is very useful.

I have always been a square peg in a round hole. When i got on here, i was very surprised to see the vast majority are married, with families. I thought most would be poor single isolated loners like me.

Yes, funny how that works. Going in, I thought that the majority of us were gay or bisexual like me. As Holly Near sang: "Imagine My Surprise..."

I fit that description. 34, white, married. I remember hearing theories that those that have power, status, and success seek submission more often in the bedroom or when fetish is concerned. And the demographic we've described certainly fits the bill more than some ages and ethnicities.

I too fall into the demographic. Early 60's now,and remember those tough days for a CD before the internet.
