Becky,
I have to admit I'm really torn on this issue , I feel MIAD is sufficient to cover the people in that group .
I was going to post my thoughts on this whole subject , while I agree with Wildaboutheels on the passing comment I personally could never go out as a MIAD . To me it still gives off so many confusing issues not only to the public but also to other members of the TG community . I must admit I find it hard the respect them possibly because I'm confused and don't understand where they are coming from . I'm not saying it's wrong but to be perfectly honest I wouldn't walk down the street with one or socialise with them apart from in a social group situation , I would still try and understand them but in the back of my mind they are expecting me to respect them for their appearance but not showing the same respect for me or CDers who put so much effort into their presentation on occasions .
Many of us have been through hell and back to be able to walk out the door and look presentable as a woman , many of us are or maybe still on a journey, to be tagged a MIAD maybe soul destroying to some people . Again personally I have gone through a separation to achieve what I have so far , the comments and insults are still going round my head from my wife , I have proved her wrong by integrating in society as Teresa but I certainly wouldn't have done as a MIAD .
