The weirdest thing for me has been facing the reality that I suppressed this side of myself without acknowledging that I was doing it when I've always been so terribly fiercely independant.

I still don't even know why but I recall struggling with gender rules issues when I was a very young kid.

So I don't even know why it became such an issue when I've always been happy being different in plenty of other ways.

But for many it must be even harder with so much of the culture we in the western world have grown up in preaching conformity as important and that crossdressing is wrong.

So for me it's a matter of challenging these ingrained nonsensical issues with the same clear intelligent logic you put forward in your eloquent post
DD!

You are most thoroughly right!

There is nothing wrong with what we do and that is all the justification we should ever need!
