Are Cross-Dressers Normal People?

[Lacey New]

If normal is defined by what is common and generally accepted behavior by men, then we are probably not “normal” by those standards. Are we “ normal “ by our own skewed standards, probably yes. However, there are a lot of things that are not “normal” but society accepts as human quirkiness. . Fortunately with more visibility, we are becoming more accepted but still probably not co side red to be normal.

You're missing the point, and deliberately conflating conflating what most would call "just plain rude" (or worse) with consistent and measurable traits. Nevertheless, when viewing the population as a whole, yes. All of those traits you list are normal, in that that each will appear in a certain percentage of the population. I don't dispute that pogo-sticking in the lift is unusual, nor do I suggest that it would be unusual to hear the person doing the jumping as "abnormal", but when dig just a little bit deeper you get the measurable stuff. Anti-social behavior is a manifestation common to several mental disorders, and normally a certain percentage of the population will suffer from one or more of them. More important than all of that, is the fact that you're using mental illness, and describing all manner of anti-social behavior in order to... what? Argue that TG people aren't normal? Seriously?

Seriously. It's the pink fog infecting the mind again. When we start to believe that we are considered normal, we get into trouble. Think you're normal? Then get married to someone without telling them about your 'normal' behavior as a crossdresser? That's going to cause trouble. Because to everyone else, we're not 'normal'. We can wish it to be normal, we can tell other people that it's normal, we can insist that they call us normal. That's not going to suddenly make it so. There are certain things that are naturally attractive to women, and dressing and behaving like them isn't one of them. Same as with men; women that dress and behave like men aren't generally attractive to men, either. It's not 'normal'. Sure, there are a few, VERY few men who find butch women with crew cuts that wear no make up, go to the gym to bulk up their musculature, and wear men's clothes as attractive, but there aren't many guys who find that to be attractive.

No. “Normal” men do not wear women’s clothing.

^this.

Especially combined with consciously and actively adopting female voice, female mannerisms, female hair styles, trying to learn how to change our natural gait to one which emulates that of a physical female, etc.. Many here go past the point of it 'just being the clothes'; while they profess to not knowing why they want to wear the clothes, they intentionally force themselves to do things which they know further emulate females, and which they also know are things that women naturally do and which men DO NOT, that attract men sexually. It's not 'natural' because it's something they are intentionally doing to alter themselves, and know why they're doing it.

Nobody is normal.

Every single person on earth has something about them that makes them a little odd.

And it's a great thing
