Negativity on the forum? I'm not sure I agree with that. Sure there is some, but there is no doubt that many (a LOT) of the CD's are just hyper sensitive to anything that isn't overly complimentary. I certainly support CD's in whatever they want to do but I'm also one of those "meanies" who sometimes points out the silliness of certain members. Some of the stuff I see on this forum makes me shake my head until I'm almost dizzy.

None of us have anybody to blame except ourselves if people have the wrong idea about us. I see so many posts about "If they only knew", well let them know! I walk around every day being a good example for TG folks and I guarantee if every CD came out and said, "hey you know what? I dig wearing women's clothes" the attitude of the general public would change almost overnight. I see a lot of complaining around here about "them" and I see very little desire to make a change. To BE the change. I also see lots of advice from closet queens and that is just something I can't abide.

Speaking of closet queens, when I first started cross dressing back in 2009 I fooled around with a couple of CD's before realized that it wasn't my thing but 90% of all of the men who come on to me turn out to be guess what? CD's! The closet cases are the worst, it's so common that every time I meet a closeted CD, I'm just waiting for him to try and F me. I love love LOVE CD's who are out and proud, my friends Allie and Melissa Rose come to mind but these girls are few and far between in the CD world.

I think support and acceptance is where you find it, and sometimes you have to open your eyes to see the real thing.
