What is it about hormone therapy that makes some of us disconnect from our roots? What gives these individuals the right to think that they are so much better than the rest of us? Maybe it is time for the rest of the community to remind these individuals that if it were not for us crossdressers, they would not have the acceptance that they have in the community. They would not even be who they are in fact. Most likely they would still be mentally ill in the minds of the medical community and doctors would be trying to "cure" them instead of help them.
So I say to those that feel that they are better than the rest of us, pull up your big girl panties and deal with it! There are far more of us than there are of you and many of us crosdressers are fighting very hard for the right of the TG community to be accepted by society.
I don't care if you accept this lowly crossdresser or not... I don't even care if you like me... I am far better than you will ever be for I accept you for who you are and will continue to fight every day for your right to live as you see fit. I will never put you down because you are a lowly transsexual. I will let your own words show the world just how despicable you truly are. I just hope you don't drag the rest of us down in the eyes of society in the process.
Yes, I am just a crossdressser. But I will always be far more beautiful and ladylike than you can ever achieve. Like it or not, that is how it is...

Heather I have read and reread your entry several times. I have also fought this same battle from both sides at various times in my life. In one breath you make some all too valid points, in the next breath you turn around and validate much of what the “transsexual menace” claims to be the problem.
I happen to be transsexual, I also happen to have a crossdressing history during my many years of denial. I can tell you from living on both sides of the fence that the average transsexual knows nothing about crossdressers and the average crossdresser knows nothing about transsexuals. Until both sides are willing to learn about the other, accept each other for what they are, and respect each others right to be what we are this argument will continue for eternity.

Heather:
I'm the menace you reference. I posted a follow-up on my blog which I invite you to read. Thank you for your comments. I've had a chance to read some of your stories and find them interesting. In particular, that you show your daughter your feminine side and your openness about it. thanks again for the feedback and I'm sure we'll cross paths soon.
