Reine, I really like your input and views. As a TS, feminists don't always support "US" as women.
I guess I didn't explain myself very well. The feminist remark was in response to PaulaQ, of since the "feminist" way is often the more masculine way. Did not mean to imply it was part of my bland/blending in look, that was what the attitude of other TSs in the 70s-80s said to survive in what could have been dangerous times.
I agree with the feminist ideas on being powerful. I was very much an Alpha woman at work. It was not always easy being a TS and working with mostly men at work. They took me very seriously, and was put in charge of groups of men at times.
I never wear clothes that portray myself as a sex object, or focus on my body, or the Lolita look, or as a weak little girl. I am a woman and expect others to see me that way. Some of my wardrobe has had some flounces ribbons bows. But never has been in little girly type clothes.
