Isn't trust and the need for honesty and acceptance also in family relationships and friend relationships? While less intimate isn't the same principles in effect just in different degrees?

And for the next generation of CDs to be able to tell their partners don't GGs have a responsibility to risk their family and friend relationships too?

As for kids, is it good enough for CDs and GGs to just wait and see if their child shows signs of being TG? They could grow up totally closeted and never show those signs.

What if they are not aware of the possibility when entering the relationship and only learn of it reading this thread? Don't they have a responsibility to it starting now?

And what if it's not the direct child but a grandchild or a niece or nephew that ends up TG?

And what about the parents responsibility for the world the child grows up in? We each play a part in shaping the world however small, if we keep things quiet and private are we not betraying those children by negligently failing to act to make the world a little bit more pro-TG?

And what about the responsibility to the whole community? The odds of having a TG child seem greater for a CD but there will definately be TG kids at your kids school either way. So isn't their a responsibility to the other TG kids in the community? What about friends whose kids have maybe up to a 1 in 10 chance of being TG?

By being out to friends and family if those friends and family have a TG kid (whether 1 in 10 or 1 in 100 chances are at least one will!) that kid will likely grow up in a more accepting family, suffer far less and be able to be open to whoever they fall in love with from the start.

And in a related point on responsibility to the family shouldn't all the USA GGs be getting involved in this http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1742318 whether pro or anti CDing simply to protect their own family so that if their husband gets outted he won't get fired throwing the whole family into economic turmoil especially in this time of economic crisis?

No, while I can see that a romantic relationship is special and particularly intimate I don't see that the honesty responsibility ends only there, it's just less but it's still there.

And doesn't the responsibility to the family mean that CDs and GGs too have a responsibility to take these risks and to work on societies acceptance as well as their own?
