Similar to:

  • We call SMARTcars and SUV's cars
  • We call one-person experimental aircraft and 787's airplanes
  • We call a $20 knit acrylic article of clothing and $400 cashmere knit articles sweaters


Specific to this discussion, we're speaking about crossing the gender boundary from your assigned at birth gender to the opposite one. I think the WHY is really irrelevant as what is discussed is a question of presentation and activity.

This is the majority of crossdressers....
As we are essentially talking about the Male to Female situation, I assume that you are genetically a male. For purposes of this discussion, to me all that is needed is crossing the boundary.

Further, continuing to split hairs does NOT serve anyone and only serves to make the population at large more confused and potentially more hostile. A message split into 37 gradients doesn't help anyone; with the possible exception of those who wish we didn't exist.
