I don't care a bit about the alphabet soup. And I'm not transgender, I do transition my gender expression for short periods of time to have a female like fantasy experience.
No dysphoria or confusion. It's simply to enhance and enjoy my male existence. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.
Genetic women have been blurring the lines for as long as anyone can remember.
I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!
I believe I can understand and relate to just about all the opinions and viewpoints stated above. It may be appropriate to add: "If you walk down the middle of the road you will be hit by cars going both ways." I don't remember who first coined that statement, but if feels pertinent to me.
I do alot of volunteering with LGB issues I was raised and guided in the 60' through 80's by my 2 pro drag cousins..IN Texas at that and those men and women suffered . ALOT ..to get the most basic human rights they now try to have..
I find it sort of odd so many males that dress in women's clothing and OVERLY REPEATEDLY claim to be so straight would want to belong to LGB.. I think alot of it is white male privilege ..your used to getting your way. Sort of the same as Patience' comment .
In recent years I've come to believe that t/cds need their own organization

Ladies,
Whether we like it or not, in today's environment, we are all considered trans with trans defined as those who present as opposite to the sex they were assigned at birth either part-time or all the time. I discussed this last month with the legendary Dallas Denny, a long-time leader in the trans rights movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Denny) who I had the pleasure of meeting at a LGBTQ support group meeting in September.

I think we fit a similar category. I don't feel I was supposed to be something else or any mistake was made just that given the choice I'd rather present as and be a woman. I don't have any dysphoria about being born male it's just not what I would prefer to be and I'd be happy to present as a woman all the time. You say genetic women have been blurring gender lines for a long time but have they really been hiding their chest and enhancing lower areas? That takes it to a different level and one needs to think what's really going on if you need to do that. I get what you're saying. Just food for thought.Originally Posted by CarlaWestin
To be honest, I dislike this debate that we, as crossdressers, have about labels. I think it gets in the way of us, as was the original question of this post, embracing the T in transgender. Doing so is increasingly important in the face of uptick of hate towards people who are, at the very least, similar to us. The Colorado Springs tragedy was fed by considerable misinformation and hateful speech on certain media sources about people like us. Nancy
