Normality!

[Shannen]

To Shannen: We may not be accepted by social norms. Unfortunately, many of us internalize this and believe that there is something inherently abnormal in what we do. So we run off and join the CD subculture by becoming members of a forum like this one. The problem is that even when we're here, many of us buy into the illusion that there's something wrong with or abnormal about the way we live. We help perpetuate the social norms despite the fact that there is nothing inherently abnormal about us. Our goal should be to change these social norms, not through conflict, but through gradually exposing the world to us in all our normal glory.

Thanks, I enjoy discussion also!

To put it bluntly, if I didn't get an adrenaline rush from breaking the social norms by dressing as the opposite gender, would I find it as necessary?

What happens when only crossdressers wear skirts?

Are you saying that gender separation is totally societal/learned behavior?
