I've been thinking of posting a note to everyone on Facebook and coming out to my friends about my dressing, but I'm not completely sure if it is something I'm 100% ready to do. I currently have the note saves in my drafts section and was wanting to get some opinions on whether or not it should be posted in teh first place or if it's something better left unsaid, so....here goes:
There is an old saying that goes something along the lines of "One of the keys of happiness is to accept the things that you cannot change." This being the case, I've come to realize that there is something about myself that I have had to learn to accept. Something that I'd been struggling with, trying to hide, and trying to suppress for many years....Something that, despite my best efforts, I've learned that I am unable to change, and have learned to accept.
Now that I have learned to accept this, I have become a bit happier with myself, however, there is one final obstacle in my path. This particular obstacle is probably the more difficult one to overcome, in the fact that I feel that it's time to let others in on it.
The truth of the matter is that I like to cross-dress. There I said it.
A couple of questions that I know people are going to ask with this news might be: "Does this mean that I am secretly gay?" No, it does not, I am completely heterosexual, I just enjoy the wearing of women's clothes. "Do I have any intention of going through the whole transgender process?" No. I am happy being a guy, again, I just enjoy wearing these types of clothes. "Why am I telling everybody about this?" The simple fact of the matter is that my desire to dress has been becoming more and more frequent, and well as stronger and stronger. Being dressed around the house is fine and all, but I've also been having the desire to just be allowed to be myself and go out dressed as I please. If that means throwing on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, so be it, but if that also means I want to wear a skirt and a blouse, why shouldn't I be able to wear that if that is what makes me happy?
The reason I write this note is to simply inform everyone that I intend to start going out into public dressed how I want and when I want, and to see who among you is supportive enough to stand by me in this decision as well as those of you whom i need to dis-associate myself with. I know that to some people, this is going to present a major issue. I ask though that if you have problems with me now, I ask that you keep them to yourself and would also invite you to unfriend yourself from my facebook page. Be warned now, while I am expecting some amount of ridicule and some jokes make at my expense, blatant and malicious attacks WILL NOT be tolerated, and I will delete and block you from my facebook and disassociate myself from you on a permanent basis, both on and off-line except in situations where I have no choice.
I leave the choice to you, and hope you can understand how difficult it is for me to write this.
This is what I've got written thus far, any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
