I will likely get a lot of blowback for expressing this opinion, but I am flabbergasted by the amount of transphobia and denial expressed on this thread. I agree with Fiona, do not kid yourself. If you are a crossdresser, you are on the transgender continuum. Like it or not, labels are necessary identifiers to help people find support and community. Someone who is transgender is not a transsexual. Transsexuals are a very small percentage, a very small minority of the transgender community. If you are crossdressing, you are somewhere on the transgender continuum. (No matter what you might tell yourself.)
