I have worked hard to accept myself as I am... and I have a ways to go. Of course I also worked on accepting, socially and politically, crossdressing and transgenders in the larger society. I am more at ease advocating this in my male self for others. Yet I still feel I supress myself out of fear when with others on the issue... "Coming out to oneself" is often the biggest issue for a CD/TG/TS.... loving onself as one is can be difficult, and this is my work. I have a fully accepting and encouraging wife... I am blessed...
