I am no longer secretive about it, but I don't flaunt it. If someone asks me in a confidential way, not to "OUT" me but to satisfy a curiosity, I will answer appropriately. If a person is just being ignorant, my response will address that attitude as best I can. On a whole, I have found that most people in a conservative community such as mine, know, but don't want to have to deal with it. I will go shopping dressed in a nice top, wearing girls jeans that are long enough so as not to show my pantyhose. They can live with that and so, I guess, can I.
