This is a thread to support Confused, as we can't pm her, in understanding how we balance the benefit we personally derive from crossdressing against the cost of relationship conflicts that arise from showing ourselves to others, in our effort to gain acceptance!
For me, it is a life or death matter- to show myself as I am and have relationships based on that, rather than on pretending.
The benefit to me is deep peace and reconciliation with myself, and the cost is that a large number of people, including my wife, look at me and think I am weird. There is nothing to do but be positive and bid for acceptance.
How do you balance your costs and benefits?
