Me Thinks He Protests too Much!
At our transgender support group meeting last night, I heard a self professed cross dresser say emphatically he couldn't be transgender because he likes women. The whole outburst was a little unnerving to me because he looked straight (no pun intended) at me when he said it. I simply said, don't tell my cis-woman partner of five plus years I can't like women because I'm trans. From there, and I am not sure he listened, other's in the room tried to explain the difference between gender (between the ears) and sexuality (between the legs). I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at his lack of understanding and hopefully a few more statements such as that will help him to understand. Plus, it just so happens, I know at least a couple more of the participants are married to, or live with cis women and a couple more participants are bi-sexual. A learning experience for him to be sure. I hope a positive one. Perhaps too, if you have heard the old saying &quo
