Birds of a feather and whatnot.

People are instinctively drawn to others who are like them, so it's natural for the "man in a skirt" crowd to be marginalized on a forum like this. To my mind, that form of cross-dressing is the same without the delusion that most of the "fully dressed" crowd seem to suffer. I skim through the forum every day or so, and I'm routinely astounded by the remarks I see from cross-dressers. They are on the whole, a seriously deluded and entitled group of people.

The very idea that an 'upright family man' who secretly dresses like a woman and fantasizes about "that particular part" of a man every chance he gets would feel no compunction about criticizing a "dude in a dress" is a bizarre idea indeed.

I think the "dude in a dress" is a hell of a lot more honest and brave than the conservative closet queen who actively cultivates a life that would shun him and friends that would hate him if he only had an ounce of courage.
