So, I understand if this topic has been addressed a million times already, so apologies up front. However, I've been thinking recently why it's so important for me to 'pass' (not that I ever would), which led me on to a few other questions:

Is it because I have the need to be accepted by the world as the woman I believe I am? Or, is it just to align my outer appearance with my inner perception? In a perfect world, where we could dress freely and be accepted for who we are, would I still feel the need to 'pass'? Maybe more importantly, in the current world, do I have the courage to be the 'real' me, knowing that I will face rejection?

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks. Rian x
