In my short time here, I have seen many many threads (I think I may have even started one or two, I can't remember) describing a crossdressing/transgender/transvestite/transexual "revolution" after which we will be 100% accepted and considered perfectly normal. There have been debates on these revolutions. These debates usually take the form on whether or not the revolutions will come, whether or not they will be as effective as we hope, and whether or not the whole idea is just wishful thinking.
I am here to offer my own opinion. I feel the Revolution is a strong possibility, but given the way I see things (and I could be wrong here), it is not likely to come. My reason is simply the way we talk about it. We talk about the revolution as if it is something we can just sort of wait for and expect to happen. Well, I'm here to present to all of us the idea that it absolutely won't happen if all we do is sit around and wait for it.
This revolution can only come from one place: us. We can't expect the world to randomly start accepting us for no reason. What we need is to become more open, and less afraid. If we accept who we are, then we should be proud enough to tell others, and eventually to tell the world. I mean doing more than going out en femme. I mean letting the world know, whether we are en femme or in drab, who we are and what we do.
I'm not saying it will happen overnight, and it may seem slightly hypocritical given that I am not "out to the world" and that I have never even gone out en femme. All I'm saying is that if we want the revolution to come, we have to start it ourselves. When I'm older, and on my own, you can bet that I will be out to the world, like so few of us are.
This, my brothers and sisters, is the only way for the hotly debated revolution to come. Anything other than that is wishful thinking.
