Hi Bima,

Interesting thread . . . hmm let me put on my head scarf and gaze into my crystal ball . . . Kaza, Kaza tell me crystal ball what does the future hold? Okay, I'll get serious . . . Isha can get a bit silly sometimes so my wife tells me.

I believe CDing will become more mainstream and accepted. We are already seeing younger gals coming out to the world with all the confidence of "I am here accept me or don't but I am not going anywhere". In addition, from my own experience I find people don't care when they see me out. Probably has something to do with being too wrapped up in their own lives to worry about the guy in the dress. However, this will depend on the political will of the day. It is possible down the line that some global uber-dictator will control the destiny of all and CDing will be outlawed but I like to think that won't happen.

Will male/female dressing lines disappear. I don't think so. Blend yes but disappear no. I don't think guys will suddenly start wearing sundresses just because it is fashionable. I also believe that even if clothing went neutral (pants, tops, shoes) there would still be subtle differences between male and female neutral garb.

MtF swapping in 25 years time? I doubt the technology will be there. I am sure medical science will grow leaps and bounds when it comes to SRS and cosmetic procedures to make you look more feminine or masculine. Just like I am sure by that time you will be able to walk into a esthetician and say, remove all my body hair with the "Dude looks like a lady laser machine" (don' steal my idea as I am going to have that name trademarked . . . okay being silly again).

So 25 years from now . . . I like to think the future is bright for us gals . . . but then again by that time I will be hoping that they can turn back the clock on us older gals by 20 or 30 years

Crystal ball and Isha out.

Hugs

Isha
