The future for crossdressers is looking bright !!!??

Acceptance is on the rise? or so it seems.

Even as recently as 10 years ago, crossdressers were still being called transvestites in many parts of the world. Back to labels again and the latin i know but a lot of us dont like the term and think of a transvestite as a more full time t-girl.

The clinical term has been replaced by the word Crossdresser or the more fun T-girl — a term that is still evolving and one i prefer.

Look at how the Transgender Umbrella (above) or the Trans spectrum as I prefer to call it encompasses Crossdressers.. Yet some in the trans community frown upon the mere crossdresser dressing up for escapism and fun occasionally not taking it too serious.

Crossdressers have their own hanger under the umbrella!!

This means that crossdressers are considered members of the transgender community no matter what some hoyty toyty person further to the right of the spectrum say in criticism.

Ten years ago I'm willing to bet a T-girl stepping out into the high street would be shunned and ridiculed but now t-girls are not only invited to use the fitting rooms and makeup counters but the sales associates are actually handing t-girls garments to try on and suggesting the best beard cover and foundation.

My experience out in public if i was read or not is people don't really care how we're dressed and presenting.. The ones to convince are those closest to us.

How has this happened?

The internet has given us a way to communicate, share fears, debate and advise and I believe without the internet this advance in acceptance wouldn't have happened.
