Teresa,
I was stunned by your statement 'As for the differences between the genders and what they wear, I personally hope we never have equality', and simply wanted to emphasize the consequences of such a way of thinking for GGs in the RW.
BTW I live on the other side of the Channel (France). :wave2:

FairyCrossdresser,
I understand that for many the very essence of CDing is based on the existence of two separate genders, including strong markers of sexual belonging (dresses, make up, ...). One can assume that CDing can vanish if the binary system is abandonned.
The problem is that the binary system induces a lot of pain for CDs, Trans people and GGs. It is a rough thinking but from my POV it is difficult to accept that CDs might not be GG's allies in their fight against gender stereotypes and gender based discrimination just because they are found of "feminine" stuff.
We can all benefit of the suppression of outdated views of femininity and masculinity.
But I wonder :thinking: what CDs will prefer :
- continue to live in the actual world, suffer of the societal shame but have the opportunity to wear clothes labelled as feminine,
or
- be free to go out presenting as they want but in a new world where feminine and masculine were considered lapsed ?
:confused: :confused: :confused:
