Just recently a post was posted on my Facebook feed from a transgender woman in Florida.
This person had requested my friendship a while ago and because i already had quite a number of transgender girls on my friends list and we had over a hundred mutual friends i accepted the request, I never had any contact with this person, she never commented on my posts or liked any of my comments.
And then she put up a post that I'd never experienced so much hatred towards crossdressers before, this post was not aimed at me personally but crossdressers in general, it was vicious and described Cd's as sick and perverted who have no place in the transgender community and should not be included under the trans umbrella! I won't put up the actual post as it was full of choice expletives that I don't think are appropriate in this forum but it left me feeling horrible as a crossdresser and I was seething with anger at this person who quite clearly had no idea of what it means to be a crossdresser.
My first reaction was to lay into her and let her have it, but then other transgender and crossdressing girls started to reply to her post and they let her have it instead, it was apparent that no matter what they said to her she was not interested in other people's views and so I decided not to bother, instead I posted her original comment on my timeline to show others the hatred of this so called transgender person, the respone i got was very heartening and showed me that just about all of the transgender community welcome and accept crossdressers as part of the community, they told me that this sort of thing is not welcome in the community, but through all this i found it to be a good lesson in how the transgender community welcomes us crossdressers and just like all communities you'll get the minority that think they are better than others but in general we are part of the trans community, just to add i didn't post this person's name and once I'd read how they hammered her with their comments i just blocked and unfriended her.

It's all a bit silly within the t rans spectrum to marginalize and talk down to crossdressers.
Doing no harm to anyone not devaluing being trans in any way just enjoying crossdressing.
I get its serious for some but why be nasty to you girls for crossdressing and playing with gender every now and then.

You T girls are lovely doing no harm and of course you're part of the Trans world

Sorry you've come across this Cat Some of us here who have been part of my Blog for some time will have seen similar where a Trans person from the US came onto my blog attacking me as a "Crossdresser"
We've not had it come up in this forum.
This came out of the blue telling me my blog was dangerous and that I had no right to speak on behalf of the trans community I was speaking in "My Blog" about me not the whole Trans community.
I pointed out my blog was called why do men crossdress and its opening narrative indicated the blog was about me, It started off as Why do I crossdress but grew with 1000's members to encompass them all i called it why do men crossdress it got too big and to keep it going would have started costing money so i froze it but i still get emails about certain articles i posted about my crossdressing journey I hoped if people read it they may see similarities..
I got a lot of messages of thanks from tgirls and wives and gfs and was told the blog is helping people.. the abuse from this Trans person went on for a few weeks then she was joined by another adding more hate fueled bile about crossdressers and my blog telling me she was a trained councilor and she had councilled and run TG groups for 30 years and i was doing great harm then came the inevitable "you're not proper trans" nonsense again i pointed out the blog is about me, how i crossdressed growing up to where I am now and how I told my wife and how she slowly accepted my crossdressing and indicated the positive messages from other t girls / crossdressers and that those two were the first and only ever to call the blog dangerous and also that the blog was about me and aimed at other "Crossdressers" and their significant others in terms of support.. they eventually left as a few other t girls and wives chipped in and told them to get knotted.
Sad that there is hatred by some in the trans community who hate us mere Crossdressers. "Not proper Trans" my @rse!
