Sweetheart, I'm not sure where you were during the late 50's and all the thru the 60's and 70's and even now...but things didn't get changed by everyone being nice to each other.
Hugs...Joni Mari

Behave like the person you want people to believe that you are.
Also, always remember that you are expressing yourself for your own enjoyment, and not for the benefit of others.
Today's society gets plenty of signals from sensationalist headlines (Tranny robs bank!) so anytime a person of transgender has a chance to gently educate someone for the better by being gracious, it should be considered a privilege. You are being given a chance to improve the world, even if it's only one small way at a time.
Crossdressers follow many other types of people who have been treated very badly in public situations, and it has been historically proven that being aggressive almost always backfires.
Things do change for the better, but only through education and example.
