The moderator has suggested that I refrain from making certain responses to this thread, and I agree.

I refer you all to the new post I made yesterday concerning, "Living The Good Lie."
I think...

Anne,

If you don't want to participate, you don't have to.

Your call on how much time and effort you put into this discussion, not mine.

"Practice what you preach, it's the best way to get people to follow dear Pythos! You feeling you need to hide is no-ones burden but your own, inflicting it on others is unfair at the least!"

Presh,

Nice cat-suit. It suits you, I suppose - claws and all. I'm a "cat person..." So, it's all good...

By the way, have you noticed that people with weak arguments resort to arguments...

Wendy,

While I like your general idea, historically, "passing," as a term was never "as normal" but as passing for something you are not. Blacks could be taken for white, Jews could be taken for...

As noted, not generally so special as people... Special only in being clearly TG, or, whatever as who they are and what they spend their time on.... Other than that, they seem remarkably like...

The most amazing thing about your entire effort is this:

"Regardless, I am in the closet, and that is where I shall remain. Call me a citizen of “Loserville” all you want. I will not change my...

People want a good relationship - and it has to be a good relationship going somewhere both of you want to go. Unfortunately, I've seen relationships based on the "needs" of the CD/TG/TS/Bi and it...

I'd appreciate it if you'd spell out what you're calling, "macho stuff." Here in Central Texas, it's not just chewing tobacco and driving trucks; it's carrying a knife, smelling pretty bad, and being...

Newsflash!

You are no longer in your closet.

Congratulations.

No need to thank me - but it's OK if you do.

Yes, I suppose all of us have have "he, er, she" conversations. And, perhaps in this case because the TG wasn't ready (Everybody has their own opinion...) to, "talk the talk and walk the walk"? I...

ReineD,

About your pictures...

Note that the first woman is apparently a model for a workers training event in that she's standing next to sign about how to conduct yourself in doing "war work"...

FWIW....

My mother would sometimes try things - on any available topic - that would rudely conflict with her own core beliefs.

Managing my life, and hers, was often a lot easier of I just...

Just to add a few things not mentioned so much, so far....

Much of what passes for "men's clothing" is job related - a particular "outfit" for a particular job or occupation. Wearing a welder's...

I'm not surprised that so many people "here" support the delusions celebrated in the original post.

Meh.

The question asked was, "What about my view of the closet"?

It's a box, a...

This closet you're praising...

Isn't that the one you wrote about "almost" getting busted in the other day?

It is... So, it isn't a sanctuary at all.

It would be unkind of anyone to allow...

Not buying it.

Sounds like a poem you have to repeat to convince yourself to keep doing what you're doing - the way you're doing it.

I'm not your closet dwelling sister; I live in a bigger...

To probably be shorter, weaker, under paid - and having to date men?

No, thanks.

On second thought, just, "No."

Well, that's how is goes sometimes.... People just want to do a double-take before moving on.

Usually, the world doesn't end with things like this. It would be unfortunate if there was a...

Lied about what?

My first wife didn't have a problem with, in my case, CDing...

She said, "That's it? That's what you wanted to tell me? From the way you were acting, I thought someone had...

An interesting question, dressing out vs. dressing in... I suppose I just felt it made no sense not to live my own life and out the door I went. I think nearly the last place I thought to go to was...

I'm with the, "get on with it crowd."

Have you no "people skills" at all with your own wife? Here you have the Pride Parade, which is like Halloween in June, and you can't even talk you way to...

Depends on what kind of life you want...

This seems as good and opportunity as any to spread your wings and try living it up a little.

It also sounds like a "good" opportunity to dig yourself...

We, of course, don't know your situation, not really. But, we do know you're going to have to grow up and live your own life - it's what life is about.

I wonder, if this was a different forum, if...

The response about doing the housecleaning and things together struck a chord, as did the decision making process between us as a couple. Last night, I was speaking with a young lady who is soon to...
