I see a lot of posts where folks say that their femme "self" is the real them. I'm wondering just how "real" it is to most of us. In other words, given the opportunity, would you go 24/7 if you could? Would you live this way all the time if all restrictions were taken away? I had the opportunity to do this when I retired and did it for about a month or so. It got to be a lot of work, however, so I decided to balance things and alternate between male and female mode as needed.
Now it seems, since balancing and integrating the feelings, I'm always the same person, regardless of presentation. Still, the option remains open for me to go 24/7 if I so choose and I'm fully confident I would be successful doing that.
The real point to myself is that regardless of the appearance and "glitter" part, the feelings remain the important thing. In other words, if I did go 24/7, I would be expressing my softer feelings openly and without hesitation. The really tough part to all of this is that I'd just be myself and would not be "imitating" anyone. What would naturally come out would be what is already in my heart and soul and this seems to be the real indicator of progress to me, not necessarily what I look like. Interesting, the things one learns when really getting in touch with the feelings.
So, the question is:" How "real" is your femme "self" to you and would you be prepared to express it 24/7 given the opportunity?
