Some long and interesting posts here, thank you Veronica and Lorileah in particular.
There's Caesar's old adage "divide and conquer". There is only people power by uniting, and that means being part of the LGBT and being thankful to the LBG for tagging us along. Further, uniting means being out together, the closeted nature of the CD world is what disempowers us more than the actions of normals. Even further, the victim-conscious language patterns, terms of reference that so many posts uses on this forum drive me nuts - "man up". Women have been traditionally "the weaker sex" as viewed by mainstream, downtrodden and still not equally paid nor respected in many parts of the business world. Maybe becoming more feminine places CD/TG/TS into the victim bracket, but here's the rub: in the "game" of sub and dom, the sub is really in charge. So too is the victim in society: the moment you say "stop", they will, for they have no choice in the game.
