Can't retract because I've read the comments myself. I didn't say all or even most but we're all fooling ourselves if we want to pretend that there aren't closeted CD's on this board that get very unhappy with the idea that people may think they are gay. Are they in the minority? Not in my opinion. The fact is that MOST crossdressers are closeted for one reason or another. MOST of them are straight or profess to be. MOST of them don't identify as gay or as part of the gay community.Originally Posted by Katey888
Whoa...! You have the opportunity to rephrase or retract...
In my view, any man that dresses like a woman and wants to be addressed as one is as queer as folk, and I don't mean that as an insult. Queers are my favorite people, but the queers I know, are proud to be who they are. People outside of the community think being called queer or dyke or fag is an insult but that's only because they use those words as insults. It's quite telling really.
I stand by my submission that the gay community doesn't appreciate those that eschew us during the day but want to party with us at night. Nobody enjoys being someone else's dirty little secret.
