Well, for my 2 cents... as I have a very strong opinion.... children come first and always have. As has been said by another poster, when my three girls were younger I was still not really coming to terms with it all, so didn't see myself as 'CD', rather just me with a strange desire to wear women's underwear at times. Growing up in a society where that was severely frowned on could have potentially done untold damage. OK I accept that some of us here have had positive experiences but that does not make you right in ALL situations... only your own.
My daughter was bullied severely in school... not physically but the psycho stuff girls do. She self harmed, still has scars on her wrists, was diagnosed with severe chronic depression. We took her out of school, moved town, and she rebuilt her life. She is now a loving mother, has a Psychology degree and is training to be a counsellor.
If she had gone through that because of me, I could not have lived with myself.
So I am in the no camp... not because I am in any denial crap about who I am, but because I respect the rights of others, especially children, who are trying to figure the world and dealing with building good social relationships. I would rather not risk scarring them than to take a gamble based on prejudice and misinformation.
But some good discussion here and always good to hear others' success stories! For me though, the risk is too high a price to pay for the right to wear a dress whenever I want to.
