How do you deal with unaccepting family? I'm from a highly religious and very conservative family back ground and needless to say a few of my family members have the ability to make life, for lack of better words, a living hell. They think it is a sin for a man to dress in womens clothing and it's a sin to question your sexual identity. It is enough to drive a person insane at times. Especially when I don't dress in front of them and very rarely ever mention my inner feelings on the subject of sexual identity.
