I think it's extremely important for us to represent our community well. It's okay to be a dude in a skirt, and it's okay to pass as a woman. It's not okay to start talking about your panties with anyone or be an exhibitionist, not even another dude, not even to another CD.
Your comment was completely uncalled for. This kind of behavior is what gives CD, TG, and TS a reputation of being perverts.Originally Posted by ShelbyDawn
Word to the wise. When you're a member of a persecuted group, it's extremely important for us to be on our best behavior to show the world that we deserve respect. When we do things that are disrespectful, perverted, mean, cruel, violent, or engage in any of the sins of the persecuting group, we're allowing the other side to win. If we act no different than the established persecuting group, people are going to side with the persecuting group simply because they are more established than we are.
Sadly, a few members of all persecuted groups are guilty of poor behavior, and ruin it for the entire group.
- Crossdressers who act like perverts and exhibitionists
- Transsexuals who commit violent crimes
- Women who take all their husband's money in a divorce
- Poor people who can't afford a car who jaywalk and think jaywalking is funny
- Members of one minority group who are racist against another minority group
All of the above examples are behavior which fuels bigotry.
As members of a persecuted group, we really, really need to step up our behavior.
Oh, and remember, one person does ruin it for all. Our teachers always told us that in school, and the sad truth is, this holds true in real life.
