No, as It is not a matter of belief.

I know, for a fact, that cross dressers are trans. Look again at the definition of transness in that book, and then, instead of judging them, listen to them. Instead of not being involved, with them, go study them and the larger sense of the trans community.

The science supports it, as well, and that is the start.

They key, of course, comes in knowing the answer to the question “what is a cross dresser?”.

90% of the time, trans folk don’t, because there is a history of trying to police the trans population so that it isn’t like “those people”, as part of the respectability politics and assimilationist ideas that encouraged by the oppressive ciscentric system.

They fall for the vey core of what is used against trans people as whole, which is to look at the external, not the internal.

There is no good, logical reason to police a population, and policing always serves the interests and efforts of the oppressor, and is a tactic of division.

Thank you for asking, even though it seems like the answer isn’t what you wanted to hear.
