Well if you and the people see it that way then good for you... but ya see thats cos we TSs are forever thrown in with TVs which are so desperate to drop the TV bit now and just be one big happy family of TG which im sorry we arent, and we never will be...

a CD/TV doesnt necessarily want sex but there is hardly any commonality between one and a TS... ooops im sorry we both cross dress... ooops no we dont, we dress in the gender we want to day after day, year after year... we dont have the luxury of shoving our alter ego in a cupboard and forgetting it for a few days... and we cant exactly deceive wifes/partners, family and friends with it either... there is a big difference... we arent a the big happy TG community and we dont have a fats hell chance of being one either...

Many guys/girls start out crossdressing as they have no idea of who they are, they struggle, everyone struggles in life but we get there in the end... but yeah i agree i hate the term transsexual cos of the sex in it... if we have to have labels id wather be a GDW... Gender Dysphoric woman... but then we come to next step in the evolution, when you're post op are you lumped for the rest of your life to be trans... or have you transitioned... and has the gender dysphoria gone.... all sorts of fun and games in the place we call planet earth... the world...

Ultimately at the end of the day id like the same as my good friend Ms Golightly, id prefer people called me denise and forget anything else
