The point I'm clearly failing to make is that in our eagerness to accept compliments, we sometimes overlook the fact that others see crossdressers as legitimate targets for their views, both positive and negative.

It's as if we are part of some street carnival. Perhaps a drag queen is asking for it, but for most of us trying to blend in, isn't it simply further evidence that we do not?
I'm going with your posts. It's evidence that we are not passing or blending in.

I've never noticed anyone standing the center of the mall passing out compliments to everyone who walks by.
