I tell people that I'm not gay fairly frequently because I'm either asked or it's assumed. I've had guys try to buy me drinks either thinking that I was a woman or more likely because they had some desire be "with" a CD and I've always refused and explained to them that I'm a straight, heterosexual male that happens to crossdress.
This is also why I'm not at all active in the whole LGBT thing. From what I've seen it only furthers the stereotype that CDs, the "T" of the group, are also gay or at least bi-sexual. The LGBT movement had a purpose when it started and got things done that needed to be done, but from what I've seen and heard from those that are most active in LGBT issues is the idea that "we want to be equal, just a little more equal than anyone else." By that I'm referring to things like the ridiculous "hate crimes' issue. Assaults and murder are already illegal, so as a CD that's also in a wheelchair if someone were to kill me and be sentenced to death for doing so, should they be put to death 3 times; brought back to life and killed again, just because it's a "hate crime?"
This post may not make me popular, but I'm not in a popularity contest. I'm who I am and no one else. When I'm dressed I try to pass and take it as a compliment when someone says that I do. But when someone assumes or asks that I'm gay I will let them know otherwise.
