I am also struck by the intolerance and dismissive attitude toward crossdressers shown on this site by people who claim to be open-minded and victims of intolerance themselves. Some simply put down all crossdressers because we are not women like they are, and some think there are crossdressing codes that should be followed, and some think there are age limits for wearing certain styles, and some put down those who want to crossdress in secret. Too bad a site that should be breeding commonality and support and understanding is unfortunately so derisive. As a crossdresser, I no longer feel a part of a "transgender" community mainly because of the ill will I see on this site. I am glad of the many recent advances made by the gay/lesbian/bi community and am happy to see greater understanding and acceptance of transsexual issues and challenges due to Caitlyn Jenner and media interest - but if anything, that has only made simple crossdressers more misunderstood and more distant. Guess what - crossdressers are really not going to benefit in any way by most of the issues and transgender rites that are constantly debated on this site. Crossdressers simply want acceptance, or maybe tolerance - especially by those they love and their friends. You can't legislate that but maybe it could be demonstrated more on this crossdressing site.
