I know this will probably rile some feathers, but here it goes:
I, honestly, can't identify with the LGBT movement. Don't get me wrong, I honestly don't care what peoples sexual identity is or the various reasons they identify as such. I've had gay folks work for me (and I've worked for a gay boss at one point) and I've never really had a problem with it, since people are people, and I treat everyone fairly.
But, as a crossdresser, I view what I do as just having fun. I enjoy dressing up, and on occasion, I maybe contemplate living as a woman. But then reality sets back in, and I realize I was born as a guy, and that I enjoy being a guy, so I keep it divided in my head.
In college, I could never identify with the LGBT groups. I always thought they seemed almost militant in their desires to push their beliefs on other people. Me, I just wanted to dress up, and I didn't really care if there was a societal stigma about it.
But, I'm curious: does anyone else keep it divided in their heads like I do? I know there always seems to be a push to "go farther" which would seem to lead to a sex change, but I can't identify with that, and I feel like the LGBT movement (or the pieces of it I've come in contact with) push you in that direction.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear peoples responses. And please don't think I'm a hater!! I won't think badly of anyone for disagreeing with me, I promise!!
