&#13;
This episode was important to me, because for the longest time, before I understood terms, I thought I was a crossdresser. &amp;amp;nbsp;It wasn't until much later in life that I realized I was transgender. &amp;amp;nbsp;I feel there are some misconceptions about the crossdressing community, where they fit into the trans spectrum, or even if they fit at all.&#13;
Spoiler alert, most do, but it shouldn't matter anyway.&#13;
Tri-Ess is a national organization that focuses on the well being and providing a community for dual gender crossdressers. &amp;amp;nbsp;You can find Tri-Ess Minnesota is the chapter local to me, with monthly meetings, and monthly outings where they offer members a chance to go out to dinner dressed, and in a supportive group atmosphere. &amp;amp;nbsp;Tri-Ess isn't for everyone, but that isn't a bad thing, they are focused, and do a fantastic job on their target group.&#13;
If, after listening to this interview, you feel a Tri-Ess chapter might be a good fit for you, I encourage you to check them out.&#13;
