I agree.There's nothing 'evil' about having a group pretty much exclusively for heterosexual crossdressers. There is so much emphasis these days put on transexuals that in some ways I think it does a disservice to the crossdressing community.Not disrespect to the trans members here, but most of the media attention is on people who want to or who have transitioned. My wife and I watched a few episodes of Caitlin Jenner, and, in addition to Caitlin being kind of an asshole, it also kind of reinforced the stereotype that every guy who presents as a woman wants to transition, which is the exact opposite of the message I've been trying to get across to my wife lo these many years. There are an awful lot of us in the world who just want to dress as women and interact from time to time with the world as women but who are perfectly happy being men and I think that's a message that gets lost in all the discussions of bathroom rights and trans actresses and gender dysphoria.
Tri ess has been repeatedly vilified from several corners and I don't think it's all justified. There seems to be a certain tension between the trans community and the crossdressing community....I've seen it here on the forum many times...and if WE as a community can't get along and accept each other and acknowledge and embrace our differences I think it'll be completely unrealistic for us to expect the larger community outside of the gender versatile one to ever come to peace with us.
