One topic I haven't seen alot about. Growing up how did your father influence you? Was he determined to make you a man? Did he tell you things like boys don't cry? My father was always telling me to toughen up, discouraging my fem side. I think that my father's influence has made me so scared to let anyone see my softer side. I had to live up to his expectations. To this day, the fear that I have that someone will find out has kept me from sharing my fem side with anyone. Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like with a more understanding father.
