Why do GG’s have a problem with US?

[ReineD]

[SIZE="3"]I’m appreciative of GG’s who genuinely like (or accept) what we do, but most of the time I feel like we are under attack from those we are trying to emulate. What do YOU think the problem is?[/SIZE]

One answer is, there are many men AND women worldwide who feel it is wrong for anyone to engage in cross-gender behavior (and also for either sex to be same-sex attracted). It may well be, at a primitive level, an attempt to protect the survival of the species. It would be interesting to study this phenomena.

Another answer that applies to some of the people who have joined here, is that the wife feels betrayed for having been lied to. This alone introduces the crossdressing in a negative light, else why would her husband have lied to her? She needs time to catch up to his understanding of it, in addition to rebuilding the trust in their marriage. This does not happen overnight and she is in her full right to not be kicking her heels up in glee when she first joins here.

Another explanation for wives who are adamantly against this is from Michelle64, and I quote:

Why do some GG's have a problem with us?.....because some of us care more about ourself then the GG we are with...its not always about us and sadly some CD's just cannot figure that out...

Also Freddy, I agree with the others. Your font is too small, even when I wear my reading glasses. When I zoom in enough to read your posts comfortably, I have a limited view of all the other posts.

I'd like to respond to some of the others, who believe that we feel threatened or are jealous:

I know of women who See's a TS,CD or a drag queen as competition. they do not want the competition. the TS,CD or a drag queen goes to more effort to impress and look there best.

Most GG's have experienced some wounding by men in their lives and many feel that men trying to look like or be women are trying to take away their identity and make it a male thing. They don't want to share when they feel that men have already taken a lot from them.

A lot of them are jealous and selfish and don't want to share their power, that being beautiful sexy curvy bodies and the beautiful form fitting clothing and makeup, hair, etc. that makes them so desirable to men and the envy of less blessed women.

Similarly, a woman may feel threatened because we are intruding into what they believe is their territory.

I'm sorry, but you are all terribly mistaken. You would be in your full right to tell me that I cannot know what it feels like to be a crossdresser. Likewise, I am telling you that you have absolutely NIL understanding of why some of the wives and girlfriends object (those who do - many are supportive). And almost every woman that I know doesn't give two hoots if a guy that she doesn't know crossdresses. Or, she may think that he is a novelty and be mildly interested as to why he would want to do this. She may even marvel at his skill, if he is good at it. But at least she will be more accepting or tolerant than your average guy!

At any rate, how can wives and girlfriends feel "threatened" when we know what our bodies can do compared to yours? I think it is the reverse - it is some of the CDers who perhaps would love nothing more than to have GGs jealous of them, as if this somehow might feed into their fantasies of being the beautiful women they wish to be, or perhaps being more "womanly" than any birth GG? :p

You never hear a TS say that GGs are jealous or feel threatened, or are selfish. In fact, TSs have realistic views of how birth women feel, since they feel the same way! I do not see TSs and birth women as competition, they are my sisters. And crossdressers cannot be competition because they are not women.

You must all think that GGs as a whole are hopelessly petty and have not matured past the middle school years. I would expect more from individuals who seek to emulate women and who claim to understand us more than the average male.
