I used to think that CDers were gay too, before I ever met anyone in this community.
How would I have known otherwise, when the only time I saw men dressed like women were DQs at Pride parades? Then I met my friend's husband who CDs, and obviously he wasn't gay since they had been married for 20 years, had 2 kids, and they were devoted to each other.
Still, when my SO first told me via email about the CDing, I misunderstood and I though he had told me that he was seeking my friendship and support and not a romantic relationship. I misread his words because in the back of my mind I still thought that the majority of CDers were gay. Needless to say, we straightened it out, and now I know better.
