To hide or not to hide, Why do we hide are feminine side that we love so much. Is it because we are embarrassed and afraid for ourselves or are we afraid of what could happen to our family in the aftermath of coming out to the world?

For me YES I do hide Keri from everyone, although my wife and a few people do know she exists. (The few people are you) I think for me I hide her from the world because I don't wish my family to have to deal with all the questions and comments.
I think for myself I could handle the ramifications of outing myself to others. I would be honest and just tell them but I don't think I could handle the people making comments to my wife or children.
It is my belief that if we could bring ourselves to out ourselves all in the same time frame we would be more accepted out in public.

So what do you believe is keeping you in the closet?
