Is this you?
(by Marlena Dahlstrom)
I ran across this article (don't worry it's short) that argues cross-dressers typically share the following traits:
which the author, a CD herself, argues typically has made CDs feel "different" from others and a bit of an outsider even before they put on the dress. It was freakily accurate in describing me. So I posted it as a poll over a Crossdressers.com where the (admittedly self-selected and unscientific) concensus is that it descibes people very well to generally well -- no one so far has thought it didn't really describe them. Interesting one FTM CD also thought it described extremely well, so we're going to post the poll in the FTM section to see if there's similar results.
So what do you think - is this you? The bullet list doesn't do justice to the author's points about these traits, so please read the article first before answering.

- Intelligent
- Creating and making things
- Intellectual Curiosity and Eclecticism
- Collectors/Hobbyists/Tinkerers
- Perfectionism
- Dreamers/Enjoy flights of fancy
- Loners (although I suspect this varies depending on how introverted/extroverted you are)

I'm about 5 for 7 of those. I don't tinker, collect but the rest, ESPECIALLY the
perfectionism seem to apply. I liked the info from the other articles on the site. Thanks for
sharing this :)

Hi Darla! Ty for the post, and btb your outing while
we were away sounds simply fab! So glad you shared
with us, you are certainly at ease with your girl
sense... ;D and that's what we all really really want,
right?
As well, por the poll here, put me down as a big
ditto...I hate being pigeonholed, but these markers
are right on, and I have no probs being counted as
being down with that program... ;D
XO sis,

Darla,
Get a grip! All Cds I'm met are stupid, non-creative, unintelligent, social butterflying, half ass demolitionists. Opps, that was my ex wife.
Nevermind.....

Hi Darla,
6for7 especially perfectionism (although now i strive more for excellence) and collections, especially panties, nylons, skirts, shoes with heels, boots with heels, corsets, lipsticks, books, movies, memories, experiences... and i was diagnosed with spotter fish syndrome... so in some ways 7 for 7...
