Why are we hetero CDs always mistaken for gays, bis or transexuals?

I believe a complete man is one that can express both his feminine side as well as his manly side without prejudice. I do display some feminity when I am out as a guy and do get smirks and gawks from both sex's at times, but I just say **** them. I'm happy for who I am.

I liked your response. Well, I actually believe those smirks and gawks are because people like you, not because they dislike you. According to some polls I've read, both women and men are more comfortable speaking or relating to "feminine" looking people (both women and men). If a face is too rough (ugly/masculine), it inspires either fear or distrust.

Also, I believe the more feminine you look (and act, to certain limit, not reaching the grotesque), the younger you look. For instance, I'm older than 30, and most people think I'm around 25, or even a college boy, on days when I look more delicate and feminine (which by the way I don't know how to control it, it just happens, some days I look rough and ugly (old), and everybody calls me "Sir", which I HATE, and some other days I look delicate and feminine (young), and people call me "young man" or "bro", "dude", even "Kid" etc., but not Sir. I hope this makes sense to you.
