I can safely say that I truthfully “identify” as a crossdresser, MtF variety, with no pretensions towards trans- anything, nor do I feel my gender identity is in any way clouded or cloudy because of my penchant for wearing women’s clothing. Of course, many here will disagree with that statement. I believe that you, Joanne, are trying to speak for those individuals among us who just crossdress, and, even though we may be in the majority, our voices are not heard in this communal setting…Originally Posted by ~Joanne~
It can be very frustrating, to be sure, and when others INSIST that crossdressing must indicate problems with one’s gender identity, or that crossdressing must be a sexual expression of some sort, no matter what the pleasure-seeking crossdresser might say, that frustration becomes exponentially more and more pronounced…
In short, plain old ordinary MtF crossdressers should be able to voice their gender-unconfused opinions on a site dedicated to crossdressing, but, because they will have to stand in the “wind” of accepted (and expected) gender confusion, thread OP’s like the one referenced above will make an appearance now and then, only to be undermined and marginalized…
To be honest, I did not draw that inference from the OP. Some people just dress, period, and that, for some, may represent a form of truth TO THEM. Your personal take on truth may vary, but that doesn’t mean you should denounce someone else’s opinion, based on their own personal experience, out of hand…
