Hello, back again ;-)

Not too sure if this subject has been discussed at all before.

Here in the uk there seems to be a few programmes on tv ie soap operas that have started to have storylines with transgender characters in them, one in particular has a girl that left the programme a couple of years ago and has now returned to her family as a man.

They didn't show any of the process that she/he had to go through but the character returned at a pre op stage.

There will soon to be aired series i think called "Butterfly" about a young boy who starts to crossdress but ultimately wants to transition.

Whilst i think this is a good thing to show on mainstream tv to make people more aware and to understand i do hope in the near future that they would do a storyline that gets one of the better known characters to go through a crossdressing story showing how it affects not just the man who crossdresses but his wife and family and to tackle the issues talked about on forums like this.

They have tackled being gay/lesbian and now trangender, it's sort of true what some people say that crossdressing is the last taboo?

Although i have no intention of ever wanting to transition the basic feelings of how other people treat you is sort of the same.

My own wife has watched one of the above stories and since i told her i crossdress i feel she has maybe gained some understanding of what it's like to be trans.

What do you all think?
