You know what I mean. Every time a sitcom involves crossdressing, it's presented as if CDing is a joke in and of itself.
I was watching Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day tonight, and for those of you who are familiar with that movie might remember there's a scene where all the prostitutes are CD'd men. However, none of them are even close to passing, they're fat hairy men wearing dresses that are completely unflattering, intended to be a comedic effect. But the underlying "joke" is that men were dressing like women.
How can anyone take us seriously if the media considers our lifestyle a big joke? (Crossdressing, not prostitution And I'm just giving an example, CDing is almost always a joke on TV or in movies)
(Even worse, I was watching the movie with my dad and my brother, who without hesitation said "oh, that's disgusting" and "that's just wrong"; looks like I'm still deep in the closet for the time being.)
