I think these kinds of comments do more damage than they do good especially for new sister's who are trying to figure out why they do this or discover what this all means to them. CDing doesn't always lead to transitioning and scaring people into thinking it does is far from helpful.
...and I never hinted nor implied that was the case. In fact, what I wrote expressly states that! Allow me to be even more clear for you: Cross dressing DOES NOT lead to transition. What I wrote and as is widely noted on this forum, those that are transsexual often cross dress hoping that is the answer. And when they realize they are not cross dressers, they move on.
