Although I have alluded to some of the negative aspects of society in past posts, I do believe that society is also possessed of many positive virtues. One such positive virtue is the pursuit of truths. Whether truths are sought out collectively or individually, pursuit of the truth is among the noblest of endeavors of the human race. Sometimes truths are hidden, obfuscated, ignored, or feared, but always pursued somewhere by someone with a stake in the outcome, or the passion for knowledge.
It is easy to say “I want to know the truth” about any given matter. But do I really want to know the truth? Sometimes truths are hard to accept and reconcile in the face of adversity or opposing viewpoints and expectations. Sometimes it’s much easier to just go with the flow, close one’s eyes, and hope the truths dissipate into an imaginary fog of denial. But who does this serve, and for how long? More importantly, what are the consequences, and what impact will the consequences have on the individual?
There are many easy truths to accept about who and what we are. For instance, I am a parent, a husband, and I need to work for a living. There is no dare in accepting such easy truths. But do we dare seek out the more elusive and difficult truths about ourselves? Or do we instead lower our heads and slowly trudge forward along a dark and foreboding path of denial, doomed to misery and an incomplete life?
One truth of mine is that I love wearing makeup, donning women’s clothing, and changing my appearance to that of a woman. I am a male, but I am also feminine. I dare to cut across the grain of society’s expectations of me, and search out my own personal truth about myself. In this, I have discovered that Anne is not just an alternate ego or persona that I project when time allows, but that she is an integral part of who I am, all of the time. There is no delineation between Anne and my masculine self. Obviously, my feminine side is in the forefront when dressed, but she is always present, influencing me, being me, even when I am in drab. This is a truth that I have dared to seek out and accept, and that I embrace with all of my heart. I love this truth about myself!
And in this, the truth is that all of us MtF crossdressers have accepted the dare to search out our own personal truths about our crossdressing, and the reasons why we do it. Searching for the truth is indeed noble. Accepting the dare to discover this truth, given the adversity we individually face as a collective group, requires an immeasurable amount of courage and passion. Accepting this dare is not for the faint of heart. It is not a decision made casually, but although it may be out of necessity, it is most certainly born out of the courage to accept the dare in the face of our own personal truth.
Of course, a truth for one individual does not always equate to a truth for another. What is your personal crossdressing truth, and have you fully accepted the dare of discovering it?
