If you can pass what do you care about a guy with a beard in a dress? What confusion if you are passing? If you can really pass then you can join in the derisive dismissal of crossdressers who just like to wear woman's clothing.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.MM had a problem and made the point that's how he wanted to be accepted , take it or leave it ! If you have to go out and defend yourself like that is it worth it ?
Yes. Some crossdressers simply must accept the intolerance of the "the community" - for the better good.Some Cders do take exception when they have spent so much time and money to pass and someone comes along in a dress with a beard , they will ask are you taking the mickey!! I don't agree with that but surely you can see the point !
