Without the gay communities support crossdressing would still be illegal in many countries!

There have been very good supportive allies for transgender people amongst the gay community.

With their help many discriminations have been overturned. When certain members of the gay rights movement abandoned us the greatest proportion of LGBT groups sided with us!

The gay community is not our enemy but our ally. Sure there are transphobics amongst them just as there are homophobics amongst us. Still the fact is that the gay community has indeed won us progress.

I think we need to get better organised. I think we need to create more safe spaces for people to be free to dress in, anonymously (CD masquerade parties anyone?) for those deeply closeted to help slowly draw people out of the closet.

I think we need ways to make some degree of activism a part of the crossdressing experience. Get CD online stores to donate a small percentage of profit of certain items to TG causes and encourage people to support them. Build strong inclusive tolerant communities in regional centres to help more people have a place to go, people to support them as they come out. Get people to volunteer time as well as money to help things like trans friendly homeless shelters.

Caring, nurturing, giving, supporting, all traditionally feminine qualities. So lets bring them into part of our crossdressing experience for the benefit of ourselves and the community.
