These people as well would suffer from some level of GD..

But for someone that identifies as 100% male but enjoys cross dressing for what ever reason, I do not believe that they are the same as TS's. If it was you would see the conversations between the two groups be more similar in nature and not focused on the superficial aspect of feminity
AGAIN- I am not comparing CDers and TS women as being one in the same, I really am not. TS women especially can be sooo adamant that they are so different from a CDer, yet, often times spending many years thinking they are just a CDer. CDers sometimes spend years thinking they are more, until they start walking the path and then realize they really are not.

I fully 1000000000% agree that a CDer and a TS woman are fundamentally different. I am just saying that the cross gender thing whatever this thing is, is an origin. It branches out and becomes more for some than others, and it can become so opposite of birth gender to the point where the identity is complete opposite (TS) but sheeesh, how many people on here spend how much time in therapy and in crisis because they do not know what they are? Yes, yes yes yes, the end came is completely different. The amount of confusion and the years it often takes for people to really figure out if they are or are not leads me to believe that the origin of what makes someone TG is the same. If it is such a difference, why is it so hard to figure it out. It is the origin of TG which helps cause the confusion. You can build all kinds of different things with the same stuff, but get an entirely different result.... lets just say the same building blocks?
