This is SUCH an important topic and I am quite impressed to see that it has not been banned on what I consider to be a fairly prudish and "up tight" forum.

Crossdressers and TG women are regularly beaten and sometimes killed just because they ran into a homophobic male. And in my book, MOST men are incredibly homophobic. PLEASE do be careful out there. No matter how nice a man may seem, the mixture of alcohol and testosterone can often be fatal.
