I wil say as a youngin, it appears that most of the depression comes from coming out to SO's/Gf's... and looking at the 18-25 Forums, its alot happier... I've had nothing but acceptance things to post up, awesome pictures that show what i've done so far, and get some great feedback. Seems that My/Our genereation (from what i've read, hard to say something speaking from the inside) that alot of things are chaning. Hybrid cars, more people accepting gays/lesbians/CD'rs, ect, ect... Its alot more acceptance, more getting out at a young age and being okay with it... hell even having GG's commenting and asking questions on what its like? They obviously havn't ventured into the FtM to see what it was like to be a guy, but to be a Xdresser and know what its like to talk to other GG and get along, and then change clothes and take it all off and then be rejected for the looks you get off the bat... There just so much going around, but I think that as things go along... It'll get better and things will be better because we can find those Gf's, who'll later become (at some point) SO's who are/have been accepting since the relationship has started, or if not, then it wasn't meant to be... Not Everything is depressing or boring, Its how You Make it. Ultimately, YOU are in controll of what you do, and controll how you want it to be. Hence why Xdressing is/can be so much fun, because we make it that way... if it were depressing, then we'd all be on some sort of Xdressing/Depression site to deal with it... but lets be happy its a fun/normal thing to do and its AWESOME... i know I'm having fun with it
