Your opinions on crossdressers?

[Tifa]

First of all, let me preface this by saying that I am a a closet CD who has nothing but respect for women in transition. I've had a difficult time meeting transgendered people who relate to my situation, and have been met with a lot of anger and disgust when I've explained that I am a cross dresser, and not sure if I want to transition full time. I live primarily as a male, but very much enjoy living as a woman privately. I often find I feel more comfortable that way, and have never felt 100% comfortable or accepted as a man.

What's your view on crossdressers? Are we just seen as perverts, like the other thread I just read about someone "transitioning" into a "shemale sex slave" (yuck) or can you as a man or transgendered woman relate to my struggle with identity?

[drdrdr]

As the saying goes "what ever floats your boat". If know one is hurt or under age people are not taken advantage of I really don`t care what everone does. I even think if 2 men want to marry one woman...thats fine with me. So enjoy and try not to worry what everyone else thinks.

You sound like a TG that is still tring to come to terms with things..

Crossdressers do this so they can get off sexually..


Ask yourself honestly.. "Why do I crossdress?"

If it's strictly for pleasure and something you do while you masturbate, then you're a CD..

If it's not something you get off on.. and you don't dress up to make yurself cum then it's likely that you could be TG. In that event I would recomment that you go talk to a phsycologost who's qualified in gender disphoria disorders. Talk to him/her about yourself, be 100% honest and open and you will likely find the answers in yourself to set your heart and mind at peace..

PS: It doen't get easier if you're TG.. It gets harder, more ridicule and hate from people, full time is really hard..

What happened to the term Transvestite? Sounds to me like CD and Transvestite might be inter changeable. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I used to have a big hate for crossdressers but here is my changed opinon.
For guys that crossdress for sexual pleasure it's their own deisision and I respect what they do just wish they don't bring it towards me or throw it in my face. Since it's not something that turns me on.

As for a early transsexual starting their transition by crossdressing I have no problem since everyone starts somewhere and needs to find themselves. It's called a transition for a reason.

If you get anger and disgust from shemale escorts, it is just a professional posturing.
All the shemales think that crossdressers only exist to steal their business.
This is probably why you get bad attitude from transgenders.

All TS started out as a crossdresser, whether they like to admit it or not.
If you only get sexual pleasure from crossdressing then you probably are not a TS.
There is nothing wrong with this and you would only be seen as a pervert to prudes.

There is a subtle difference. I believe that crossdressers are those that only dress for pleasure.
Tranvestites, I believe are those who identify as feminine and dress to project that identity, not necessarily for sexual pleasure.
(However anything gender related has a sexual conotation.)

You hated crossdressers only because you fell into the red-neck shemale escort crowd.
Plain and simple.
They are the one's that made you think you were inferior, even though you were not.
Why you would hate someone you don't know for their choices is laughable.

Your freak outs about being called a crossdresser a couple time, were totally ridiculous.
In some people's books you are a crossdresser no matter what they say.
Even if you got boobs, they may still feel the same way.

Besides how do you know what is in peoples minds.
Calling down anyone because you think they are not worthy to be a TS is bullshit.

I completely agree with what you are saying.
I blame alot of it on my past addiction not being able to think before I spoke. But who cares that's the past and this is now.
People can think whatever they want to me, I am who I am in my heart, and that's all that matters. I don't judge to the extent that I did before.
I believe that if you want to judge someone on who they are then you desirve to be judged back. That was how I was raised at least.
It's just all common sence and basic respect. Which alot of us lack, I can be one to say I still lack some of it some days.

I agree with what you are saying. I believe its inter changeable to a extent. Like a CD that is a woman on the process of her transition I would call a Transvestite. But I believe that there shouldn't be labels. It should just be what is in your heart is all that matters, and just listen to everyone else but if it's not what you believe is right in your heart then just take note of it and move on towards your goals and dreams.

What exactly is a crossdresser? Its a man who dresses like a woman. What is a transgender? Is a man taking female hormones to grow into a woman. But there are different kinds of crossdressers and transgenders. What about the naturally feminine born crossdresses, the ones who already look female without hormones? What kind of crossdresser would that be? Not really a man dressing up like woman, more like a naturally born part male part female dressing like a woman. Those types of crossdresses are the most pretty,the more female the more pretty but in reality those types are not really crossdressers, they were BORN as a transgender(or is that intersex?) thus are transgenders or intersex genders but not crossdressers.

it's 2012 my dear, hello?!

You need to ask yourself this.. "Why am I crossdressing?"

If you're doing it to get off sexually and cuz it make you horny.. then you're a sexual crossdresser..

If While you are doing this you are think to yourself that you truly wish you were living as a woman and it's not getting you off sexually then you're more likely to be a trans person..

In the event that you have doubts about yourself, your sexuality and are questioning your own gender you can seek some professional help in helping you determine what these desires are. Should you find yourself wanting to transition in the future it's a very bold step and it will change your life forever..

Don't let anyone stick you in a box ever..

Myself, I'm a transsexual with no intentions of ever doing the bottom surgery..

I'm totally bisexual, I love both sexes and being part of both sexes..

My preference is to fuck women and be fucked by men..

[cooldude]

Got no problem with crossdressers but they do nothing for me. I need femininity so to me that means boobs and more womanly features. But that is just me.

[Ray]

It's not just you cooldude.

[toban]

I find nothing attracts me to the neophyte crossdresser but I am quite prepared to patiently wait should they completely morph into a full-fledged transgender girl!

Remember, none of the beautiful young ladies we so adore today came that way out of the mould! It took a lot of work on their part to present themselves as we know them!

Completely agree - although I freely admit I didn't always have this 'enlightened' attitude. As I grew more confortable with myself, I realised that labelling people is really just an expression of our own insecurities. But these days?......it's all good - as others have pointed out, as long as no-one is doing something against their will, who cares?
