Not really as in the REAL world 95-99% of people are Cis, and while many are sympathetic to our feelings, they do not generally go around worrying about if every word they say is up to date with the ever changing whims of Transgender as a Identity interpretation. Nor should they.
Further, How do you class the likes of Grayson Perry or others who openly state they are Cross Dressers but do NOT have GD? Food for Thought.
Lets talk throw Drag Queens in? Many of them openly state they are Male, and do not feel Trans.....Yet clearly they Cross Dress! Ive had ex BFs and Friends who would dress up regularly so to meet Guys for Fun or Money, yet would be very blunt when we spoke that they did not feel a ounce of Trans Identity in their body!
Crossdressers MAY in time feel Trans. They May not. They are not Trans though unless they openly State I Alexa, identify as Trans Female. Otherwise however pretty they are they are happy in their male ID.
I feel its not good to force them CDs, to say they are Trans, as otherwise, what are we saying, that to Be a CD for comfort or Sex is wrong, but as long as you say you are Trans its all good, as thats legit and the other isnt?
In the REAL world, I go places tell them my name is Alexa, no one really bats a eyelid, despite my Mascara (lol), and my identity may or may not come up. Maybe its just me, however, Ive not had any issues since coming out that I did not beforehand, or have not had in other ways before. Prehaps Not being so Straight in the past, has shaped me somewhat.
As for being a Show Off, I sometimes feel on here, Im one of the few who offers an alternate to merely following whatever viewpoint we are told to feel by Left wing Academics, who may or may not be somewhat misogynistic in their outlook on Cis Women.
I reserve the right to say what I think ,as I trying at times to offer some help to others, or at other times looking for some advice, and that can only really be done if one is honest.
Prehaps I think a bit more for myself, as before coming out as Trans, I had at various points IDed as Straight Male, Bi Sexual Male, Gay Male, and Cross dresser Male. Try being seen as Gay. Its a eye opener.
School is over for the day!
Good day, as they say in England.
Lets get back to SO talk and trying to help SOs rather than Trans bickering. I LOVE these Cis Wives who try with Us. Their feelings are in my view a bit more important than this conversation!
Alexa.
