Hi Ladies,
Haven't been around for a while so have been catching up with posts etc. and one thought struck me straight away. Some of you are as much a victim of absolute thinking as the very people who dont approve of or accept what you do. Black and white thinking is definitely not a helpful nor a healthy pastime. It makes people see the world as good or bad, perfect or flawed, black or white, when in truth nothing could be more further from it. Not everything fits into a box, we cannot compartmentalize everything including ourselves, we are all individuals.
Black and white thinking only serves to isolate us from anything and everyone who doesn't fit neatly into our narrow views and it prevents us from enjoying life, embracing diversity, and making new friends.
I have always known that some CDs and TS find it difficult when it comes to self acceptence and they struggle with their own identity, some even hating themselves for what they do and how they feel. I'd just like to ask those of you who are struggling what is so wrong about having an alternative lifestyle. I do realise that I could well be talking from ignorance here but that said your not going out and raping women or murdering children so how about trying to cut yourselves some slack and be a bit more forgiving. Your doing to yourselves exactly what others are doing to you so your never going to be free to enjoy your dressing and celebrate who you really are.
I bet if I told you all that I was a female cross dresser youde still all like me for who I was, so why dont you like yourselves. Course if I was your GF you might take a dimmer view but hey it wouldn't be the end of the world would it, Id still be little old me underneath all those y fronts.
Any way lecture over, sorry girls but reading some of the posts really got me thinking about how unaccepting some of you are of yourselves, and how extreme that seemed to be simply because you like women so much that you want to look like one.
Take care
Bev
