I'm one of those that fall into this category. To be honest, I can't explain why my leanings are such. While I find GG's very attractive, I find intimacy uncomfortable. I have had male/male gay experiences and while enjoyable, I don't think I could do so dressed enfemme. Maybe I could but unlikely. Early in my life as a cross dresser, I realised my attraction to others like me and I became comfortable with it. I have never really tried to figure it out. It doesn't matter.

But to answer your question, no I don't see CDers as men, but I know we are not women. I just see us people with the ability to embrace cross gender sensibilities. I think we all have something to share, maybe a heightened sense of humanity that strictly male and female persons don't see or refuse to see.

Respectfully, Lorileah, I'm not sure I agree with this statement entirely. Yes, it may be true to a certain extent but I think it's generalizing. If you look at the various inclinations in the gay community, you'll see all sorts of preferences that many will seek out exclusively. for example, Emo twinks with Emo twinks. Daddies with twinks. Bears with bears. Leather men with leather men. Tops who only want bottoms and vice versa.

CD's who seek out other CD's may be just another category falling under the gay umbrella. I'm not saying this is always the case, but think it surely needs to be considered before we say that "Hey, at least I ain't gay" is the explanation.

With respect.
