I noted in another thread that 13,500 "clicks" on this topic is about 13,000 more than most OPs get.
It would be interesting if someone had the time to chart the responses to see if what I'd been arguing - that CD/TG/TS - is more "gay" that most crossdressers claim. This biased forum response is not "scientific." But, it not useless either.
The majority of CDers (98%!) claim to be strictly heterosexual... But, what else can they say, and, how many know their own hearts well enough to be fully "out" to themselves? Judging by the number of "closet cases" posting here daily, perhaps not all that many.
I don't have a problem with saying I'm on the "gay side" of the line when it comes to sex and sexual preference. I have very little attraction to men - (Why buy and warehouse two of what you already have?) - but it seems obvious to me that by indentifiying as CD, etc. that's all it takes to move over that line.
It's not like I have to do anything about it, or, defend it really. We have freedom of expression, speech, and thought as it is - and mine is just another opinion. And, I don't have to say anything at all, I can just support my causes and vote in secret if I think that's the best thing to do.
And, maybe I'm just lazy, or, lucky. Early on, when asked about being "gay" or "bi" I discovered that the easier path was to just say, "Yes, I THINK so" and let it go at that.
SOs, neighbors, friends, co-workers, have so far been able to live happily with that response. They're rather have an honest answer, and "thinking so" is one, than to have to wonder what is really going on.
"If that's what you think, then that's what you think. I might think differently, but I have the same right to my opinion as you have to yours. So, is it going to rain this weekend, or, what?"
