Krisi, I'm not really a crossdresser, but a Nigerian Prince that needs your assistance getting my fortune out of the country........ha.
I agree with you that the internet allows people to be deceptive, but I also see the flip side: it allows honesty. I have made forum posts and had conversations (from long ago AOL crossdressing chat rooms to present day PM's) in which I revealed things about me and my CDing that I would never reveal to someone who knows my true name and identity. It's made possible by anonymity - my name and online identity are fake - what I post is true. A lot of us wouldn't be here trying to connect with like-minded CDers unless we can do anonymously.
