Second, by your account, if it became "cool" for men to date ftm then we would see large numbers of men on the look-out for them?
There is no fad for men to try out homosexual relationships, the homophobia inherent in male upbringing is too strong.

I agree that education and exposure is the key to making cding more socially acceptable but not if its going to be promoted as a "lesbian" concept.
Why? The fad to try a lesbian relationship is because of the notion that a woman knows how to satisfy another woman, emotionally and sexually, better than any man. I can easily see that idea transferring to CDs where we are thought of as a half-way house - a male body with feminine insight. Now whether you believe CDs actually represent that is irrelevant, it is the public perception that counts.

And if that fad were to disappear in time, the long term effects would still be dramatic for the CD community as it would finally thrust CDs into public view and have them taken seriously without conjuring up fear and contempt.
