Re: The "Q" in LBGTQ
Yes interesting article and not sure I really like it. Unless I am reading it wrong, but the tone I get from the article is that CDers are just questioning Transgender people who have not accepted they are going to transition. Please tell me that I am reading this wrong or getting the wrong vibes from from the article. On a previous forum I was on the environment was alot like this. The TS's were always pushing us cders to do more and head towards transition. It was a very hostile environment at times. The good thing about the environment is instead of bending to the pressure to be someone else, it made me take a good look at me from within and figure out who I was. I am not questioning, I fit the other Q -> queer. I am always a guy but sometimes I present a masculine image to the world, sometimes I present a feminine image to the world, and sometimes I present a mixed image to the world. I am not questioning, it is just who I am. How I present myself depends on my mood, and need.

Re: The "Q" in LBGTQ
Kimberly,
I like the article. Perhaps because I am still trying to figure out who I am, and why. I just read in Facebook they classified CD's in to 51 differant classes. Pan,bi,etc.
Then it makes me feel that with so many classes, that I do fit in there someplace, that there are others similar to myself.
Everyone should do and accept what feels good for them.
I am still thinking that maybe I'm just messed up, but getting a lot closer to feeling it's OK.
Just from CDHaven I see so many different varieties of CD's.
Some dress in private, some just ride around in their car, some dress and go to work.
I think it's great that all this talk is finally coming out. I thank the Internet for it. The more we talk about it amongst ourselves, I think the closer we get to talking to the general public, and the more we will be accepted. Probably not in my life time. LOL.
I just say this from keeping in the closet for 60+years, and so far only have told my wife. I do go out and shop etc. enfemme, and so far I think I have been very fortunate by not being called out, and several times even starting small conversations. ( My voice hardly sounds feminine)
I, in my heart feel that peolple who have transitioned have a lot different feelings than CD's.
For me dressing for a day or two or three makes me realize that I do not want to transition. It takes a lot of work to prepare to go out, even though it's fun. But then I revert back to being me in drab, and I guess it feels like "oh I can't wait to take my bra off", or get these ski boots off.
What I kinda like about going out in drag, I am almost at the point where if I am made out, I don't care, but hopefully present myself in a decent enough manner that I will still be accepted.
I'm sure that so many of you are at and beyound that point already.
Speaking of the internet I hope and believe that eventually/hopefully it will bring this world to peace and undedrstanding.
