Why are we so afraid of being thought of as Gay?

[Lucy_Bella]

I'll give you a short answer to this question.

It's because too many members find it difficult to remember that although many of us use female names on this site, and some of us use gender-neutral names, not all of us like being referred to as "girls", as in "Hi girls."

Whenever this happens and my gender/sexuality is confused/abused in this way, I make a point of reminding the poster that I am a heterosexual male who happens to like wearing women's clothing.

Tamara has actually posted a "sticky", so big is the problem.

Clay,

Funny you mention that , I have always felt a little offended when called a girl even tho I can understand why most choose to refer to us that way. I am not a TS and I do not wish to become a female, I just have a dressing fetish .

While dressed I still act the same as in DRAB , I walk talk and move as a male (prolly cause I am one)..I do not feel I am denying anything while feeling this way to me it's natural just as many here feel it is natural to want to be a girl..

This is one of the biggest reasons I feel what I do is a curse, due to and not only because of emulating a girl in apperance but remaining as a male inside. If I was to be more opened about the emulating as many here are ,then I would think IMHO that in doing so is letting the world know I do wish to be a girl. I am not open because of that reason .

I know hard to understand , we are what we are I suppose and in saying that would be confessing to others by being open to the world " Hey look everyone I want to be a girl"!!
