For an old conservative living in the South- I believe I am progressive for gay rights. I support gay marriage and adoption since it provides alternative for abortion, I was ok with the repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell- I belive some one is born gay and cannot change it
What I do NOT understand is cross dressers and why there is a push to give them rights as if they were born that way. No one wakes up an intentionally is attacted to men, but people choose what clothes to put on in the morning- drag queens are doing so because they choose to, so why the hell does anyone want to let them go into a womans bathroom?
I am not trying to sound like a jackass- I dont want to be ignorant but I want to understand this subject... do people believe cross dressers cant help but do that or is it something else?
I think it's great you're wanting to understand a bit more.
Yes, the key point is the difference between a cross-dresser (transvestite), who does it for fun/pleasure, and a man or woman who is biologically male or female, but psycho-sexually and innately feels they are the other gender.
I understand why some have issues with someone with penis using the female bathroom and vice-versa. But read up on the mentality of someone with transgender issues, it's both fascinating and often tragic.
