Rather than comment in current thread, there was this posted:
This seemed weird to be since TG is further to fem than CD and then the question popped up. How does what Me and SO call this thingy effect acceptance and presentation levels?I can also report that had I said I was a crossdresser and NOT transgender, I would not be married to her.
It seems that the more normal pattern is:
1. I'm a CD {usually without calling it CD at first},
2. are you gay?
3. do you want to transition and be a woman?
4. Do you want me to participate?
etc
In my situation, CD is ok. TG would not be, and full transition would be a deal killer.
What are your thoughts about your common labeling of behaviors and the effect it has on relationship?
