Interesting Idea I had today.
I'm almost twenty six. I have no illusions of who I am or how I look. What I do or how I act. I'm supportive, non judgmental past the initial shock of seeing something I'm not used to. I try and be romantic and affectionate but it's hard when you second guess yourself in the matters of your feelings for someone. But something tugged at me. I'm hiding who I am from my network of people who are close, but still distant enough that I don't really see them. So much so that I have a second Facebook just for my cross-dressing and it hit me. If I'm so awesome, so proud of who I am, why am I hiding behind a second account only accessible to those who know my secret?
So I said to myself, to the hell with it, maybe I'll just make a status about how I'm tired of hiding myself behind a curtain and if anyone has a problem, the exit is through the door on the left. Don't let it hit you're bum on the way out.
But then I figured that I'd run it past you here on the forums. To see if its a good idea. I know for alot of those on here, it's not really an option. For family and friends to see, for a wife who could stand to loose respect or have to deal with harassment, it just isn't a possibility. But, my woman knows and supports me. Some of my closest friends know and are supportive as well. However, none of my family really knows. Knowing about it can't really hurt me in most respects, I've said before that if someone has a problem with me, by all means, door on the left. I know my mom might not be thrilled, but im almost entirely sure she wouldn't really care much past a few related questions. As long as it makes me happy, awesome possum. My step dad might poke fun but he knows when he's crossed the line. Its all in good fun.
But I find myself wondering if its really worth the effort to tell everyone. It would be nice to be able to be myself, but then again, some things shouldn't go on the internet. (Hence I have no pictures of me en-fem).
