Frederique,
I also wonder if CDs are really TG--especially me! CD is just an observational fact, can't deny that's what I do. But Transgender is about identification--the way I feel about myself. Some times I feel very girly, other times not at all. So being transgendered seems to vary with time. Sometimes when I'm dressed fully en femme I feel giddy, sometimes just comfortable. Is one of those TG, one just fetish?
To the extent that there is a community, it must be one that supports individual freedom from gender stereotypes. That would make me an A for "Ally" in LGBTQQIA, even if I weren't T. In current hip usage, my insistence on wearing a skirt and a mustache in public probably makes me Q as well, although I don't like the term "Queer". I don't militantly demand acceptance, but I do gratefully accept tolerance whenever it's offered. Luckily, that's almost always, so far.
