The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm not sure why you're asking me that, MS -- I said that I don't view Jenner as a hero.

Anyway, I don't think either Jenner or Albert are heroes or villains for wearing women's clothing.

But, Marv didn't proactively come out and admit that he was a cross-dresser. He didn't attempt to help promote awareness and understanding of cross-dressers. He was outed as a result of a sexual assault. So, it's a very different scenario in any case.

Plus, cross-dressers can alleviate their discomfort or satisfy their urges by putting on female clothing. It's much more complex and life-altering for people who actually identify as the opposite sex and feel trapped in their own bodies, as I understand it.

I didn't think Oscar De La Hoya was a hero when his cross-dressing photos were leaked to the media either.



But, maybe he and other cross-dressers will feel more free to open up about it, if they want, as people come to understand the issues better?

None of it bothers or offends me.
