Pet Peeves about other CD's

[DemonicDaughter]

What bugs me about labels is when people think the label dictates the behavior. When you keep reading threads that say, "I'm a crossdresser but I'm not gay, is there something wrong with me?" it gets frustrating enough to shove someone's head into a sink drain. But that's a different story...

I'll hold their arms....

As a side note, that "dictates the behavior line" reminded me of Kevin Smith's movie "Clerks". He made an excellent point that title does NOT dictate behavior in any way.

True. Even thought CD is a lifestyle, we all have that unusual thing in common. We all have our own way of presenting ourselves. Me, I don't really care to what degree someone CD's or why, I just figure we all have our own style or degree, but one thing for sure - CDs need to stick together. We are outcasted enough by "normal" society, we don't need to exclude each other based on silly things.

Exactly! You notice other communities don't do this publicly even if they do have subcultures. Its not like you go to a gay club and there is a section just for those in denial. You don't go to a goth club and see only skaters on one side and ravers on another. There's no yuppie clubs with Porsche drivers in one area and Corvette drivers in another.

For cding to be accepted as a viable and staying community in our society, it needs to be presented with a more united front. Not this constant division.

I suppose that means I can't count on your support for a separate section for all of us petticoated, gun toting, banjo playing crossdressers.

Yeah, I'm sorry. No voting on that but you would win my vote for best dressed banjo player. :D
