I think it’s easier for cisgendered people to accept a person who “was”
once a man but “is” now a woman, and it’s harder for them to accept
that, actually, there are a lot of us somewhere in the middle zone
(perhaps the rainbow zone?) between those two boxes (including some
people who might identify or “qualify” as cis-gendered). (Likewise, it's
acceptable to be a drag queen, who is male in his normal life. Putting
on a dress is only an act, right?)
A Tale of Two Boxes, is an excellent post from Vivienne about being in the middle......being a "lowly" crossdresser who is looked down upon by not only by many cis-gendered people but also by some of our own who have fully transitioned.
Hi Calie,
