Quite Welcome to post here but ive had the below via my Blog messaging to my Davina Email account from i assume a tgirl.
"Regardless of who you are. Whether you were born with female or male genitalia. You could fall somewhere on the transgender spectrum. The term CROSSDRESS is a pajoritive and denotes negitive and/or perverted sexual deviations of the norm which society has created rules for that go agains a person's own gender expression at the point on the spectrum they exist. Society create the term crossdress to place men who have some femine desire on the short list of undesirable traits for men. Let's stop with the gender stereotyping and drop the word from acceptable language it doesn't do anyone any good"
From the number of Trans people here what do You think on her message?

Omg as a wife crossdresser is the least abrhasive definition and the least scary
Transvestite for me is something more someone living more as a woman and my other half doesnt like it
Tranny is a mik taking term
Tgirl is a more modern word can hardly have a blog or forum saying why do men tgirl
My view Davina blog and forum titles and your reasons for blog and forum spot on why do men crossdress its about what it says on the tin its what us wives search on google

My thoughts exactly Katie... Crossdresser is also what best suits me and where I am on the trans spectrum as it's what I do.
It's all well and good taking a moral high ground but if the people you want to help will google using the term 'crossdresser' then you wil need include it somewhere to be able to help them. Surely once they are here it is time to educate them but they have to be here in the first place for any discussion to take place.
Society isn't yet at a place where crossdresser can be dropped from common language. Your messager give no acceptable alternative. Transvestite, T girl, Transgender all do the same job of stereo typing. If you drop crossdresser from the title then you cannot reach the very people you are trying to help.
