Difference between transgendered and a crossdresser

[Melody Moore]

Kathy, any MtF Crossdresser who does not have female identification should not be allowed in a female toilet. END OF STORY!

Transsexuals are already having to deal with the fallout from the result of a few perverts dressing up as women
and assaulting women and children in a ladies restrooms and bathrooms. And I don't need any badge to say I am
a "Pre-op M-F Transsexual", my drivers licence and all my other legal ID shows that I am a female, so for me it is
not an issue. However I am fearful of losing my rights and more stigma being created by those who are not lawful
females.

As for other MtF Crossdressers using male toilets, I know Draq Queens who use them, so why can't a crossdresser?
In fact if I seen a MtF Cder in the toilets making others uncomfortable, I would call security and/or the police myself
because I don't want to lose my rights. So now you have this other problem where transsexuals are going to go out
of their way to ensure their rights are protected against sexual perverts exploiting them.

I don't know where you get your definitions about what a transgender person is, but I can tell you
now you are wrong. I know Drag Queens and female impersonators who don't identify as transgender.

Transgender is a general term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and
groups involving tendencies to vary from culturally conventional gender roles.

Transgender is the state of one's "gender identity" (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both)
not matching one's "assigned sex" (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex).

As you can see, the term transgender is clearly defined as a "General term" that covers a number of gender types.

As for you, a crossdresser having a legal female identity, unless you have been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder
then the chances are that will never happen. For a start you need letters from medical staff stating that you are under
therapy and treatments, and for how long to be legally recognised as being a female to change gender markers. You can
say that you want a female identity for this reason and that reason, but actions speak louder than words. In other words
you should never be allowed to get a female identity unless you are under therapy & on hormones and living full-time.

You are going to be up against it, because I know many of my transsexual brothers and sisters who are going to make sure
that things stay that way because we have our own rights to look after and to protect those who could become a victim
of a sexual assault by some crossdressing sexual pervert. And no I am NOT saying all crossdressers are sexual perverts.

Remember Crossdressing is an something you do, not a gender identity - so get use to it.
