Its sad, back then ---Back then Homosexuality was considered the "same thing" as Transsexualism AND Crossdressing. In the eyes of MOST people anyway. Homosexuals were men who wanted to be women (or, mentally, already were) and Crossdressing was how they expressed it. No wonder so many parents were disproportionally "upset" over CD and so many of us kids fearful and confused. Fortunately, I was a more scientific-minded, BOOKISH kid and managed to look up what was going on with me.---And cut a lot of my potential anxiety in the bud, by understanding that I was a CD and nothing else.---- But my own studies didn't help anybody ELSE clarify issues, so I remained very discreet about my hobby.
