Cross gender/Transgender

[susan54]

Anything that goes against the gender norms and social conventions is Transgender.

Call yourself a man, woman, whatever, but if you go against whats established for each gender, you are transgreding, and its about gender (be it clothes, identity, again whatever), thus, you are Trans (transgressor) Gender (whatever it may mean to you: clothes, identity, nonbinary, etc).

Yup. Read it again. It still makes out I am trans[whatever]. I still disagree. An actor in costume is play-acting, not adopting the persona seriously. I am acting, and even then only do the walk and talk in public. At home I am wearing clothes I like that feel nice and look nice. A woman in a male shirt, suit and tie could also look good and would not on this basis alone be trans-anything. The people I interact with love the fact I am a man and love my outfits - and for the most part I am treated as a man. So for the people I interact with there is no binary or trans anything. If you insist on trans titles you perpetuate the binary that us mere cross-dressers (fine with that label) are attempting to break down. I am free to reject labels applied to me by others in the same way I am free to wear what I want. If you insist on applying a label to me I reject I can't stop you but I am not going to agree with you. I don't even know why I am writing this - we are not going to persuade each other and that does not matter in the great scheme of things.
