This thread has morphed from Marleena's original thought regarding the negativity she perceives as being the lot of TG people to the pros and cons of coming out of the closet. Katesback has expressed the view here and elsewhere that many, if not most CDs are actually TSs who are afraid to come out of the closet. Further, she has also suggested that many CDs are, in effect, also closeted bisexuals who would and will hit on other CDs or TSs for sexual gratification. This has raised a storm of protest from CDs who reject the notion. Others are concerned that such "information" being put out on this thread and others could cause families to break up when GG SOs, who are in a very delicate relationship with their CD spouses or SOs should read this stuff on the threads. It will only intensify the stress and anxiety in those families. Probably most CDs on this site would find climbing into bed with a guy to be such a stomach-churning event that they would never do it...dressed or not.
I recently posted a thread on this site that Nigella moved to the TS site for policy reasons. It asked TSs to tell us how transition has affected their lives and what advice they would give young people at the crossroad of their lives, whether to go down the transition road or not.
So far, 121 have viewed it but not ONE of our brave TSs have shared their life's experiences. I would think many of the 121 viewers are CDs or SOs looking for this information. Of course it's not scientific, it's anecdotal, but it is the best real information that could be available to any of us. I hope that Katesback and Badtranny might take up the challenge and give us some of the benefit of their experience.
