I think this question touches on some of the difference between those who see themselves as cross dressing and those who see themselves more on the transgender spectrum. For myself, from my earliest childhood I wanted to be a girl, had the emotional nature more of a female, and had very close relationships with women. Like some of you I fought this for most of my life. In the last years accepting myself as partly TG has allowed me to greatly increased my friendships with women, who anyway are the majority gender at my age! Last night we had a gathering at my house for Shabbat, my wife and I and nine other women! I loved it, I do not in the least miss male company. So for me being CD/TG has not isolated me, it has let me be open to others in the way I was meant to be.
