I am she as you are he as we are all together ..
or something like that..
i hope we all want the same thing...peace on earth and good will towards men...and women, and we are all equal as human beings in every way
but there is a huge fundamental gap between what a crossdresser is, and what a transsexual is... there just is...
men are men...women are women...the fact that i changed my outside appearance, and even my internal parts!! to be myself is different than expressing a feminine side...its black and white...
in my opinion, that's all a big reason why you will find lots of transwomen say "i'm not transgender..i'm a woman"... and others that are ok with saying they are transgender don't like it so much when a person that is into crossdressing on the weekends says they are transgender too..it just doesnt feel right..
this is all just my opinion,
but when an outsider looks to understand "us", how does it help if their understanding is wrong?
if i walk into a place of work, female, but known as ts, still anatomically incorrect and i need to go to the bathroom, i can get in trouble..i might not even get hired because an HR manager quietly advises sr mgmt that it may be a problem
it impacts my livelyhood.....that has nothing whatsoever to do with crossdressing..its not crossdressing....saying we are the same doesnt help me at all...thats a selfish example but its true..
i respect that you can do and say what you want. but that's how if affects me..and theres not a whole bunch i can do about it...the cat is out of the bag, and the world pretty much accepts the term transgender as inclusive
but i'm compelled to stand up for my own identity, and its totally fair for everyone else to do the same
