I began this thread with what was a loaded question...and obviously, I have a point of view on the subject. It has precipitated far more and more heated discussion than I would have imagined. Perhaps I could have asked the same question in a less provocative manner...but it certainly has been interesting to see the reaction.

The point of the question was not to achieve a resolution. The query doesn't yeild scientifically valid data. And since there's no blood test that I aware of that can definitively answer the question, so all we can do is observe how this highly selective sample of CDrs (Am I safe to assume that most of the respondents are CDrs?) perceive themselves. And it appears that many of us do identify ourselves as TG, while others are quite adamant that they dress for other reasons. Perhaps that's all we need to know on the subject.
