A interesting insight to a part of the trans world in which I personally cannot comment on as it's far beyond Crossdressing.
I said to my wife its easier to accept being transgender even though being a crossdresser is on the transgender spectrum.
Someone who is really transgender and lives as a woman full time or has the op becoming a full transexual is easier to explain?
My wife said no its not its all the same
But Crossdressing is not the same as we're men who live as men, want to be men but love and enjoy the escapism crossdressing gives us occasionally but happy to live as men
Saw the program asked the other half does any of this ring true with you and he said no I’m a man will always be a man never intend becoming a woman just enjoy the opportunity to unwind crossdressed.
Happy with that answer

Katie we're all human beings born naked then society dictates how we should behave conditioning us all into the Matrix and creating Muggles then some of us break the conditioning and realise how nice it feels to sometimes look like a woman... we are the free thinkers and the pioneers of change lol.
Sindy maybe right about the wifes reason in terms of the Muggles view on anything trans being one and the same but we know the spectrum is diverse and that we as part time crossdressers as a miniroty inside the spectrum.. Somewhere towards the left.
Davina, I think your wife probably means that to most people it doesn't really matter if you're transsexual or just a crossdresser, as Joe Public sees you as the same. Unless you wear a big sign around your neck, no one at a single glance will be able to tell the difference.
I watched the programme. Interesting that they thought that being trans could be biological. After all we all start out as female (X) and it is only the Y that makes us male. So you are either all woman or half woman and half man. As the surgeaon said it's all the same plumbing just arranged in different way. Chuck in a few homrones and we're a real melting pot!
