What I said related to this passage:
By that I mean someone who dresses as a woman all the time, 24/7, even for work, for many months on end (and maybe indefinitely?).
Point being for months on...
One of the things that you hear from amateur athletes is the term Personal Best. It doesn't have anything to do with anyone else. It is personal. So, for right now, this is your Personal Best. Glad...
One point about 24/7 and work. The company from which I recently retired did have gender expression built into its HR policies. But, as written (as of 6 months ago, anyway) it was intended for people...
I do take photos from time to time and occasionally I will ask my wife to do it. As was mentioned above, there is a lot of difference between what you see in the mirror and what other people see....
It's really unfortunate that you had such a bad experience. As in any other field, people do not have expertise in every area of their profession. But, they should be aware of their shortcomings and...
Interesting. This is something I've never really thought about. I do wear a wedding ring. It was from my first marriage. However, the problem is that I have been unable to take it off for probably...
No, I wouldn't want to be known as the Crossdresser as, technically, that would be inaccurate. When I have outted myself and talked about gender identity, I always say: "Transgender, but not...
What I've come to understand is that just about every variation of gender identity, family circumstances, work situations, age, sexuality and location is represented here. That is the nature of the...
The next major event is the Historics, or the Montery Motorsports Reunion, as it is now known. It is August 18-21, but there are many auctions and car shows during the whole week, including the...
And also its proximity to Laguna Seca Raceway...

Sort of an extreme version of the Stockholm Syndrome...

Not if there's 100%/0% and 0%/100%. Synonyms for Spectrum include Scale and Range. That 100/0 to 0/100 is the range. This ain't no Mobius Strip.
Don't think that hasn't been tried.
Two...
As do I. In part, it is the currency of communication.
If we consider Crossdressers at one end of the spectrum and M>F Transsexuals at the other, that would mean essentially 100% male identified...
All:
I have created a thread that will hopefully help us to understand some of the contentiousness in recent times. Have a look and comment as needed.
The thread is at:

Basically that gets at the question posed by Michael Hughes. On face value, his going to a women's restroom would certainly attract attention, but by law that is where he is supposed to go. People...
I wouldn't say choice. I would think it is a case of delaying the inevitable.
I would assume that one would have to go through the same hoops, get the same approvals, etc. in order to transition....
Remember that recent times have seen increases in the numbers of people transitioning in their 50's and 60's. People cite retirement, death of parents and other circumstances that changed things for...
It intent was to cause a lot of outrage and gain votes. Creating a logically written piece of law wasn't part of that intent. I don't think that they ever considered the possibility of someone...
From this one might conclude that the men's restroom would also not be appropriate.

Thank You so much! It is greatly appreciated.
One thing to consider regrading advocacy is the there are many roads to town. I've been fortunate in my career to travel to many places. I've been in...
That's odd because Fantasia Fair has been held in Provincetown since 1975 and people talk about having such a wonderful time there. Very curious...

That sounds exactly like one of the arguments used against marriage equality. The statement was that allowing same sex couples to marry diminished the marriage of opposite sex couples. The definition...
This is precisely why Michael Hughes has made the point that by birth sex, he would be forced to use the women's restroom. I am certain women would have a reaction if they found themselves standing...
Unfortunately the way it is usually discussed, all situations are mentioned together. However, the reality is, as you mention, quite different.
