So I was reading a few posts around the site and they made me think about some interesting questions.
If we lived in a perfect world where everyone accepted everyone and society had absolutely zero problems with crossdressing/transgender, would passing still be important to you? It appears the majority of those here try to pass to blend in and be the fly on the wall, but if you were wholly accepted for you being you, would you still go through the stages of wig, makeup, hip pads etc trying to emulate? Where does that desire stem from? Is it to be accepted or does it root itself deeper in the heart of being in the wrong body? I understand that for TS, it is more of being who you feel you were meant to be in the first place.
It just makes me think that if acceptance was in fact there and readily available, what lengths would you take when going out in public? Also, would you have a more individual appearance and style due to not having to try and emulate or fit in? How would that style change, and shouldnt we focus more on that if we are working towards acceptance as a society?
Just a few thoughts to bake the noodle I guess.
