Bisexuality & Crossdressing

[Sammy777]

1. I certainly don't consider my dualness to be a multiple-personality manifestation.
Far from being "discrete" personas, there is tremendous overlap between one's guy and girl modes.
Multiple personality situations are essentially psychotic; the person doesn't realize that the other personas exist while in one.
I never forget or disregard my entire life history, preferences, interests, and so forth while exploring and exercising my advanced and manifested feminine side, and I don't think others do, either.

I have to disagree, from a purely clinical, academic and/or psychological point of view anyway.
Many CD'ing traits [this one in particular] can be looked upon as symptoms of Multiple Personality Disorder.

Definition: Multiple personality disorder [MPD] or Dissociative Identity Disorder [DID]
is a mental disturbance classified as one of the dissociative disorders. MPD or DID is defined as a condition in which "two or more distinct identities or personality states" alternate in controlling the patient's consciousness and behavior.

As with ANY medical condition, not all symptoms need be present to be diagnosed as such.

Again, I am in no way saying any or all CD'ers suffer from any kind of disorder in general. All I am saying is that if you were to remove the want/need aspect of dressing and look at all the other factors then there is a possibility that people could misconstrue all these other traits as being symptoms of the disorder above.

3. Viewing male-male sex as homosexual by definition flies in the face of the experiences of many TG folk.
Male/female is anatomy; man/woman is a social construct of expectations and behaviors.
I don't know how anyone with an open mind could watch gay porn and ******* porn without noticing the difference

For obvious reasons I'm omitting MtF and FtM TS's from the equations below.
I tried to skirt this one in my last post by using "bisexual encounter".

But why should it? Let's just call a duck a duck here for a minute shall we.
Why should sex between two people that are both anatomically male and identify as male be called anything other then homosexual sex?

I don't care if you wear a dress or a chicken suit, once the clothes [and the fantasy] are removed you are left with - drum roll - homosexual sex plain and simple.
Just because one of the participants wishes to portray themselves [being seen/treated] as a woman does not change or dismiss the act as anything but what I just described above.

Who gets to be Man or Woman is NOT decided by who does the dishes or takes out the trash.
The only "social construct" is how men and women are expected to act and behave within a set society.
You are trying to completely dismiss the inherent qualities [and differences] that make up what it is to be a Man/Male and Woman/Female.

Man = Male, Woman = Female is an innate feeling, ones sense of self, something that while connected to "anatomy" is much, much more deeper then that. While it is more then "JUST" anatomy, anatomy does play a crucial role in what it is to be Male or Female as well.

Rule #34 - If it exists there IS porn of it.
You are forgetting that the porn industry is there solely to cater to specific demographic and that "She-Males" are just another viewer demographic and another way for them to make money.
Although the exception to this rule is that "she-males" are for the most part the sole construct of the porn industry and a quite rare "in the wild".
