We will have to agree to disagree, Georgina, at least in part. While agree that we should be free to dress ourselves and denote our gender however we see fit, the fact of the matter is that certain types of clothing are universally categorized as female. I absolutely do not get the whole "man in a dress" fascination. I confess that I also resent the in-your-face attitude of some MIAD's and the ill will it draws to the TG community in general. Yes, it does. As wrong as it may be, to lump us altogether, it is a common response as most of us suffer for the confusion the MIAD's introduce.
When I dress, I want to be referred to as she, her, or ma'am. "How may I help you, ladies?" is one of my favorite things to hear. Yes, that's just my preference, so we're going to have to figure out a way that "the normals" can know how we prefer to be addressed.
