I am in the first group. I have been out and about since 2006 now, and there is no way I will ever go back to hiding my femme identity, I wish I would have come out years earlier, I have not lost any friends, or family, and if I did, its not my problem. I am much happier now, I enjoy the freedom of dressing whenever I want, peaple have been very understanding, and it seems that peaple in general treat me better.
