I agree, but it also goes beyond that. The big bugaboo right now is the "T" is LGBQT. What does being TG have to do with sexual orientation? And, CDing is under the TG umbrella...what do clothes have to do with sexual orientation?
What we have been saying for years is that sexuality is NOT a choice. I can't choose who I am attracted to. I can't magically take off my hat and just be into men.
Then, there are the idiots that think lesbians are all "butch" or "bull dykes" because obviously how they dress is associated with their sexual orientation. But, when there are a huge number of people like me, they compensate and say, "Well, oh, she's a lipstick lesbian!" No. It's absolutely infuriating.
There are fewer and fewer TG friendly places to go, when usually they were gay bars. But, most gay men don't want to be associated as being CDs. As my gay friend said, "I'm gay. I like men. I don't like men in dresses. I don't like men with boobs. I like penis and I like a man dressed as a man." I was a little put-off by this statement and thought it was a little blunt. But, I see what he means. He doesn't want his sexual orientation associated with CDing and things CDs do...he gets enough flack for being gay. I kind of feel the same way...I get really sick of being the ***** and the threesome buddy because I am bi. I don't want people surprised that I look girly and am ladylike just because I like sn*tch. It's dumb.
In fact, I don't want ANY image, clothing, or action describing or attributed to my sexuality. Bisexuality pure and simple is just being attracted to both men and women. It really has nothing to do with CDing and it has no on and off switch. If it did, I would have found it when I was 12 and thought I was going straight to Hell...do not pass go, do not collect $200.
