You deserve a four-star salute for that follow-up post. You know this crowd all too well.

For those that fall under the "Trans" umbrella, I use that word broadly, do or did you ever compare your butt plug as akin to the use a real woman would use a tampon?
No. I've never given much thought to tampons or simulating periods or becoming an actual girl. "Girlhood" for me is more psychological than physical. A plug works well with me b/c of the prostate, its girly b/c it involves penetration.
I would take issue with haus's view that CDs find dressing "humiliating" and as such get off on it for that reason. The reason its "humiliating" is because society makes it so; CDs would prefer to be accepted. When they ask to be "humiliated," they're actually asking for acceptance, i.e. to be forced into taboo land by a supportive partner.
On that theme, here is a bit from the SEPT New Yorker about Larry Wachowski deciding to become Lana Wachowski:
At the same time, Larry, who had separated from his wife, was dealing with depression and struggling with his gender situation. During the production, he told Andy that the reason he went swimming the bay every morning rather than the pool, was that he was half hoping to be hit by a boat or attacked by a shark. "For years, I couldn’t even say the words 'transgendered' or 'transsexual,' Lana told me. 'When I began to admit it to myself, I knew I would eventually have to tell my parents and my brother and my sisters. This fact would inject such terror into me that I would not sleep for days. I developed a plan that I worked out with my therapist. It was going to take three years. Maybe five. A couple of weeks into the plan, my mom called."
Sensing that something was wrong, Lynne Wachowski flew to Australia the following day. The morning after her arrival, Larry told her, 'I'm transgender, I'm a girl." Lynn didn't know what he meant. "I was there when you were born," she said. "There's a part of me that is a girl," Larry insisted. "I'm still working on that." Lynn had been distraught on the plane, worried that she might lose her son. "Instead, I've just found out there is more of you," she said. Ron, who soon flew in, too, offered his unconditional support, as did Larry's sisters and Andy (his brother), who had suspected for a while.
A couple of days later, the Wachowski family went out to dinner in Sydney. Larry was now renamed Lana and was dressed as a woman. A waiter referred to Lana and Lynn as "ladies". The next day, Lana showed up to work in her new identity, as though nothing had happened.

"I chose to change my exteriority to bring it closer into alignment with my interiority," she told me. "My biggest fears were all about losing my family. Once they accepted me, everything else has been a piece of cake.
This is from the New Yorker, about Lana Wachowski, who is working on a new film. Formerly she created the Matrix with her brother.
