for clarification on this whole thing: Transgender is the whole spectrum, the broad category (DQ's, Genderqueer, transmen and women, post op transsexuals , fetish dressers, and crossdressers). Otherwise, we start arguing things that make less sense. Transgender includes transsexuals but is not limited to transsexuals. Otherwise the argument does not hold up. If you say the "T" is just transsexuals (or when you narrow transgender to just those who are transsexual) then the CDs have no base to even argue the point. CDs would not be included. You won't be in the umbrella as they say. The point would be moot. Of course then if you are CD and you don't have the rights the L&G community have gained through the last few years you could be fired in ALL states for your hobby, you could be banned from certain places and you sure could not pee in a woman's restroom. You would not be protected if someone beat you up (it would be just assault and not a hate crime which would get your attacker a lesser sentence). So let's agree that Transsexual is NOT the same as Transgender. Otherwise who really cares how CD'ers dress? The whole fight would be for our sisters who will eventually become women
