Please girls, don't take this as a rant. I read all over the forum "they would kill me in my town if they knew I CD". How do you know? Did they kill everyone else? Why do you still live there?
"My wife would disown me if she knew" Are you sure?
"I'd be fired if I wore women's socks" Is this written company policy?
Perhaps sometimes we have to sit back and decide what is paranoia, and what really holds water. IMHO the world is a gentler place than we give it credit (or blame) for.
I live, work and play, en femme in a conservative farming community, where men are men, so I stay out of the John Deere dealership, and bars called 'the stumbling bigot'. I only pass at distances greater than thirty feet, and talk in a man's voice, and I have no problem with anyone. Men ignore me, and women are usually curious, and friendly. I also go to downtown Toronto, now a megalopolis, and if I stay on the right side of the tracks, I'm treated with the respect due any other human.
