I'm only speaking for myself.
I don't think you can really take someone's personality out of it.
It's pretty much impossible to tell what people are thinking unless they tell you.
The premise I believe is whether a MIAD has a harder time than someone who wants to be the other gender.
I found early on that people are more likely to understand TS more than CD. I haven't tried to figure out why, I have just accepted it.
I have met and talked to a lot of people when I was first looking for answers a few years ago. It is part of why I became so popular. I would talk to anyone and did, now most of the time when I'm out in a social setting I'm with friends (GGs).
I have also met and talked to a couple of MIADs. One came up to me when I was having dinner at an outdoor cafe. The ma^tre d came rushing over to save me. I took it, as he was just doing his job. I told everyone it was ok. The MAID who was only wearing a skirt and his traveling companion sat down and joined me. The other one also only wearing a skirt I met in Vegas at the center.
OK think of it this way, if I have a hard time understanding why someone would want to be a MAID, how do you expect the general public too? I am not saying that being a MAID is wrong or anything other than it is not me. I do understand how they feel.
I'm sorry but all I have to back up how I feel are my personal experiences.
I do not have a problem with you dressing anyway you want, and you don't make me uncomfortable.
I have found that just because people don't understand you doesn't mean they will not give you the respect you deserve, as most people don't want conflict.
