This is a question I have been asking myself lately, especially since the integration of my feelings. I can be Ericka, I can be Rich but I have developed into a combination persona, which is Salandra. This encompasses all of my feelings, both masculine and feminine and I can be who I want to be when I want to be regardless of presentation and that gives me a great deal of satisfaction as I dance to the beat of my own drum and find it unnecessary to fulfill any set of "standards" as far as conducting myself and this gives me a great deal of freedom and latitude when dealing with the world in general.
I do see, however, that many here have the need of validation for the feminine aspects of who they are and this is shown in experiences and adventures en femme, usually with the resulting encouragement which is fine. I do wonder, though, if this Forum did not exist how many would go about finding that needed validation. Before I came here I did pretty well on my own but I saw the value of learning about the feelings of others and how they address the issues concerning crossdressing and the like.
So my question is, how do you really view yourself as a person and who are you really? Do you more acknowledge your femme self or guy self or are you somewhere in between? Any more I just consider myself as the whole person and the duality aspect has gone by the wayside. This gives me much more empowerment as an overall person and has opened up endless possibilities. How do you feel about this?
