The spectrum is "so large", only because we want to include everyone under the umbrella of transgender. It's very PC to include anyone who crosses gender boundaries as "one of us", but in reality, How much does a transwoman (or man) have in common with the person who wears only a single "genderized" piece of apparel, in the privacy of their own home, when no one else can see? How does a person who wears ONLY "specific brand, make, model, and color" of panty, relate to the person who gets up, shaves arms, legs, torso, picks out an outfit, fixes hair & make-up and ventures forth into the world, and presents as the gender they were NOT assigned at birth?
Is the male who paints his toenails bubblegum pink, and then buries those toes in heavy socks & work boots, transgendered? Is he a crossdresser? Or is he just someone who feels 'edgy' crossing gender boundaries?
