This is a question directed to: 1)Outies 2) Closet-eers
First, to those who are out to their SO's, family, friends, etc:
When dressed, do you take on a feminine personality very different than the one you have in drab? Changing your voice, demeanor, deportment, etc.? If so, how do these others react? I know that some will say, "I am who I am regardless of what clothes I wear." That's fine, but I think for others, there is another side.
Second, to Closet-eers similar to myself: Do you have an outlet to determine your feminine personality? Or do you just practice in the mirror? I find it almost impossible to know who Jacqui really is without any physical interaction with fellow human beings. I would like to know what kind of woman she is but without feedback, all that I know of her is in my imagination which is like an uncarved block of wood.
I know the "easy" solution would be to come out. However, if this would be equivalent to going faster than the speed of light (impossible according to Einstein, I think!), are there any other suggestions to bring the inner woman to the surface?
