CHIC SPEAKERS BUREAUSpeakersCHIC crossdresser group has had a very active speaker's bureau since 1977. We send one or more crossdresser speakers to each location, depending on the needs of the instructor. We welcome the opportunity to explain the phenomenon of crossdressing to students at universities and colleges. CHIC also speaks to paramedics, police departments and counseling centers...anywhere there are people who want information! Subject
We attempt to explain crossdressing from the crossdresser point of view. Many
people have a preconceived notion of crossdressing as a perversion or mental
illness. However, in 1995, the DSM-4 was changed to reflect the modern view of
our lifestyle. The DSM-4 stands Physicians Diagnostic and Statistical Manual,
Revision 4. Attitudes
Many people reflect attitudes about us formed at the turn of the century, or
earlier. Little was known about the crossdresser in those days. The speaker's
bureau's mission is to help change the perception of crossdressers as
"troubled/confused/perverted people." We can talk at length regarding
definitions crossdressers, transvestite, drag queen, transgender, and
transsexual. The history of crossdressing, and theories about why we
crossdress. The effect our lifestyle has on our wives and families in addition
to effect it has on us the crossdressers. Changes
In the 21st century much has changed regarding the publics attitude toward
crossdressing both good and bad. Crossdressing is much more acceptable then it
once was which is a positive for us. Crossdressers are being treated much better
at restaurants and shopping centers now days. That said there are more new terms
being bantered about. Terms like T Girl, Trans person, CD, and gender fluid come
to mind so educating the public can never stop. Crossdressers have similarities
with the other groups but it is important to us that the public is aware of the
differences.
