Do crossdresser come in LGBTQ? I have a friend he is a crossdresser, yesterday in a post he was like, we CROSSDRESSERS are very simple, we don't belong to the lgbtq community cause there is no c in it. He meant that the thingh " crossdressing" is much simpler than being in the lgbtq?
Any comments would be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Shivanya7777singh LGB refers to one’s sexual preference- Lesbian, Gay, or Bisexual. If you identify as one of these, then you belong in the LGBTQ community.
T refers to Transgender. Just because you cross dress, doesn’t necessarily mean you are transgendered, though you might dress to express your desire to be the person you know you are inside. By that I don’t mean fantasize about being, but rather you feel you are trapped in the wrong body. If you feel you are a man trapped in the wrong body, seek professional help to determine if these feelings are real or just imagined. If real, then you are transgendered and belong in the community.
Crossdresser Possibly - the Q part of the acronym refers to “queer,

Shivanya7777singh I think, If some one cross-dressing only for profession that not come in LGBT but if they cross-dressing due to Gender Identification Dysphoria than it come in LGBT.

The other, more historical name for cross dresser is Transvestite. Which in my understanding is very much part of the Trans community.

For many of us, the gender identity is male , with a desire to express their feminity through dressing. The sexual preference could be either hetero or homo sexual. In my case, I am comfortable with my male identity and dressing up.
I know of gays who will cross dress - the "woman" in the relationship, also known as "bottom" will cross dress ...They do not come under Trans, but will be under Gay - but very much part of LGBTQ community.
