Reply To: Information about crossdressing

[DeeAnn Hopings]

Some other points based on my observations, but these are not absolute:

• The vast majority of crossdressers are heterosexual men.
• Transgender people can have any sexual orientation that cisgender people have.
• Some (and emphasize on “some”) crossdressers do eventually realize that they are actually transgender. I’ve never seen any data, but anecdotally what I’ve seen here and on 1 or 2 other sites, it would appear to be a relatively small percentage.
• Again anecdotally, crossdressers tend to either dress at home or go out dressed for specific events. They tend not to be dressed a high percentage of the time. Trans folks who are out tend to be dressed nearly always, if not full time.
• In general, trans folks view the world continuously from the perspective of their target gender.
• If crossdressers do that, it would likely be temporary and related to the time that they spend dressed.
