From the handful of years I’ve been on this forum, it seems most crossdressers identify as straight, cisgender men.
Simply wearing clothes from the women’s side of the aisle, putting on some makeup and a wig isn’t really the thing that qualifies a person as transgender/transsexual.
It’s something you feel down to the depth of your being. You know in your heart of hearts you are not a man. You are something other than how people perceive you.
For those on this thread who consider themselves part of the queer community, I hope you do more than adjust your wig and touch up your makeup. I hope you’re calling out trans bigots when you see them spewing hate on your facebook page. I hope you’re marching in protest against trans bigot politicians who are trying to eradicate trans people. I hope you’re donating time and/or money to queer advocacy groups.
