No man has offered to bash your head in yet to your face but behind our backs "some men" can 1/2 jokingly talk about it all right but won't do it. I have heard a lot of these stupid conversations from bigots before.
You asked a question as to why some females feel threatened by CD's.
1. First of all I have found that women by far are more accepting to us than men....
2. The reason "some women" feel threatened is the same reason some males do...Gender identity is plowed into our heads from an early age. Just like you have said too!
And just like the comments our gay friends get such as God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. A lot of people see things this way and can't handle change or anything that deviates from what they have learned at a young age.
3. Can we change society's views? I think yes somewhat we can. The biggest hurddle we have to overcome is that people can feel that CD's are trying to con them. I'm going to do what I can in my lifetime to try and make change.....
