Insert inane "herp derp I just want to be me" comment here.
Firstly, I fully agree with Paula et alii on why crossdressers need to be more visible. Actually, most good posts in this thread seem to come from people who do not identify as crossdresser (IMHO). Not sure what that means. Please don't throw me under the bus.
The one thing I want to point out is selection bias. The community on crossdressers.com, at least the one in this particular subforum, is not representative of the general transgender/crossdressing population. It's not necessarily to its detriment, but the community here is Americanocentric, generally heteronormative and 'binary-centric'.
Also, fluff topics push out serious topics, members who aren't particularly interested in fluff topics leave the website, relatively even more fluff topics are created, etc. The issues named in this thread are discussed within the community at large, even here on CD.com, but there's just a lot of noise.
