To the person that said you would have no respect for some that risked it all just for their own self gratification.
SHAME ON YOU!!!
That is such a horrible stance. Have you not seen the hell people went through when it came to the advancement of a cause, not the least being JESUS. That's right, Jesus. I will not take this on a religious direction, but people should learn a bit more of how his family at first rejected him.
Now, if I were to sacrifice everything it would be a) so I could look and dress how I wanted, but also b) pave the way for others that would also like that freedom. It would not simply be about me.
People get ostrasized from family for inumerable reasons. How about the gay people coming out to their families, and work? Many stayed in the closet to their dying day, for much the same reason I may. But I pray one day there will be an influx of Straight MtoF that just say "screw you society, your notions are backwards and sexist" and then I will join.
In the mean time, aside from those two factors mentioned, I am quite open with my wearing skirts, and other "feminine" garments.
