Difference between transgendered and a crossdresser

[Sophora]

It has nothing to do with being more or less of a woman the then next guy.. but rather the issues that we face as transsexuals. I have a job, so a job is no longer an issue, I have an SO, so finding an accepting SO is not an issue. I am out to friends and family.. not an issue. I think that I have done a pretty fair job of assimilating into the mainstream. I am living as a woman, and I am at a place where.. A lot of the issues that transsexuals have to deal with are no longer issues that I have to deal with. I can talk TS issues until I am blue in the face and I can relate to what Transsexuals have to go through.. Been there got the t-shirt. I have yet to come across another TS who can relate to where I am in this thing. While they are struggling with their TS issues I am struggling with my every day life as a woman. I have a lot more in common at this point in my life with GG's rather than Transsexuals. Have I forgotten where I can from? I am doing my best!

I have more common with GGs than transsexuals myself at this point. I haven't gotten to the point where others are in in transition. I see all of these "woe is me" posts and I would rather live as a women than as a transsexual, however that doesn't mean I have to have a "holier-than-thou" attitude to others.

However I wasn't talking about whether or not people how people are living but the account on how others see anyone that was a former "male." Are you out to strangers as well or do you just live your life? How do you think they will take you if you had a penis in the past. do you think they care or know a difference. You may not have to worry about those but there are plenty of postops that do(as they go into stealth mode), why? technically there is no difference between a postop and preop to someone who is bigoted.
