I very rarely write anything directly contradicting someone on this forum, but I am going to do so in respect of Ezsekiel's post. I accept that other people want labels but that does not mean I needd to accept the label. I am not trans anything. Cross-dressing yes, transgender no. Gender goes beyond clothes, it is about self-image. I do not go there - I love how I look in a dress but that does not change the fact I am a man. I retain my masculinity throughout. OK, I admit the bra and breast forms are non-masculine, but for me this is about clothes, and it has to be admitted that the clothes look better with a bust. My gender remains male so by definition it is not trans. When I go out I act as a woman, but it is ACTING - I do not imagine I am a woman. I am not going to give in on this one - I am simply a bloke dressing up and play-acting. That I am good at it is immaterial - it does not make me trans - it just means I am a good actor.
