    • Maybe the stigma comes from being either a TV or a TS—but there is a middle ground that I've never considered...what Georgia calls a "cross-liver." Someone who takes hormones & lives their desired gender role, but who have not necessarily made a decision on having surgery.1977-1980, Lou Sullivan, personal diary, quoted in 2019, Ellis Martin, Zach Ozma (editors), We Both Laughed In Pleasure
    • And that doesn't invalidate or lessen the T*ness of the person. Some people believe that being afull^([sic]) time crossliver makes them somehow more than a person who dresses up on the odd Tuesday night.1998 February 11, Katheryn D'Medici, “Re: Close Calls - Comments?”, in alt.fashion.crossdressing (Usenet), retrieved 12 Nov 2021
