How can we change our view in society

[pamela7]

Crossdressers need to stand up and work with the rest of the transgender community to make real political changes for us in our society. That means a bunch of you coming out, and owning this, and standing up with the rest of the trans community.

The nail and the head meet, when the secret is so private even the SO does not know, when the % population is (allegedly) so small, when the % of CD/TS/TG being LBG is so small, when there is antipathy towards CD from L and G, it shows us what we need to do.

1. Explain ourselves, a CD manifesto
2. Demand an equal representation at the LGBT leadership table with the LGB's
3. Point out the sillinesses - a) okayness for women in man-clothes but not vice versa, b) okayness for hysterectomies but orchidectomies require years of psychiatric treatment?, c) actors wear wigs and make-up, no big deal, d) the likes of Izzard and Brand crossdress with no problem, e) the sillinesses in our own minds
4. Publicise that things are changing e.g. Selfridges in London going unisex in all 3 clothing floors for adults, make ourselves look a bigger minority than we are, find closet politicians - there will be some,
5. explain through a TV series, as the big-bang theory does for high-functioning autism
6. explain through reality TV / internet, and ...

separate CD from TG/TS ... expand LGBT to LGBTC, and get 2 seats on the table with LGB
